1999 California Beer Hunter tour

Trip included visits to San Diego (and North County area), Santa Rosa, Petaluma,
and Suisun City

This expedition was added to the tail end of a business trip I made to Lost Wages, Nevada. Since I was most of the way there, I figured I would hit the left coast and visit some old friends and taste some of the locally brewed beers as well.
My companions and tasting assistants: Craig Curtis from Vista, Ca. Bill Case from Santa Rosa, Ca. Mark Turenne from Santa Rosa, Ca. and my brother, Gary Whitbeck from Suisun City (he drinks Bud, but was a good sport and drank what we told him to. Some people you just can't change, he said he still preferred the Bud, oh well, we tried)
