Looking back

The SD Foodie take

Editorial commentary written from Roger’s original photograph and caption. Roger’s own words are the quoted photo note above.

The collage shows an amber IPA and a dark coffee stout, the brewery’s storefront with a Take the Helm tent, and a room of steel fermentation tanks.

Roger did not just post a beer — he ranked the lineup, naming the IPA and the coffee stout as the best drinks there. That kind of specific pick is what makes a brewery post useful.

The quick critique

What stood out

  • The IPA
  • The coffee stout
  • A look at the brewhouse

Bottom line

Archive verdict

A brewery visit with a clear order: get the IPA or the coffee stout.
