Craftsman is the best brewery in the LA area and has been for years. Pretty much every beer from them I've ever had has been excellent.

Even their 1903, despite being distributed pretty widely, is a very solid beer. The owner is quirky but a super nice guy if you talk to him in person. Believe the hype--this place is legit.

Read the reviews but still called the owner just to ask him about local beers around Pasadena that he stocks...MAN THIS GUY IS SO NICE. Maybe whoever is approaching him is too demanding? Anyway, he spent about 8 minutes telling me about his beers and i'm going to go to kings row and get some tonight. Thanks! -J
