Three Breweries: Ballast Point, Hess, and Green Flash

The three breweries we went to on Wednesday couldn't have been more different.

Ballast Point - in an office park, big tap room, quiet during the day. They had a number of good beers, and Chris really liked the Sculpin IPA. I liked the Wahoo Wheat. It was nice - quiet, nice people working there, low key.



Hess - in an industrial park, whole public area was the size of my living room, people everywhere since I think it was Food Truck Wednesday. They call it a nano brewery, and we had just a couple of samplers - they were good. We did not stay long. Ha!

Green Flash - enormous area, like a giant party, thirty-ish taps on the wall, served 12 different beers. We bought a few for home, I really like the saison. Marketing genius...also had a good truck outside.



We have some great ideas for JM and the new brewery - these places really know how to pull the public in and keep them there. For a Wednesday, it was like a Saturday night!
