I’ve been a fan of Lightning for several years. I live in the Bay Area, but every time I go down to San Diego I always make a trip to the Lightning Brewery as the owner Jim Crute likes bucking the San Diego trend of double IPAs. The Elemental Pilsner is truly an outstanding beer that is one of the best pilsners I’ve had.

Yeah, I don’t how to explain that one either, there’s just so much wrong with it. The Tied House hasn’t had a location in Berkeley in my lifetime. They did have a brewpub in the city of Alameda, but it closed around 1997 if memory serves. And Red Rocket Ale is, of course, a Bear Republic beer.

I took a look at the full results. I agree that listing the results by county is goofy. There are a lot of simple typos, like the ones for 21st Amendment, but you can figure those out. But…help be understand the listing for Tied House being in Alameda County and producing a beer called “Red Rocket”.
