immediately following our stop at urge gastopub in rancho bernardo, our bus pulled into ballast point, a san diego brewery and purveyors of yellowtail pale ale & sculpin IPA. ballast point has been in operation since 1996, when owner/co-founder jack white - not the white stripes lead singer - teamed up with brewer extraordinaire yuseff cherney in their joint love for beer (and fishing).in addition to a hefty discount on everything they had on tap (including tasters, pints & take home growlers), we were lucky enough to score a tour of the facilities. i've been to a handful of tours in my day - notably stone, anchor steam and pizza port - so chalk up another to the short list. but none included nifty safety goggles in the event of a sudsy mishap...
sadly, we departed ballast point close to 7pm and made the journey back home. this cat immediately went into full-on snooze mode for the better part of the trip, only to wake in between sips of a growler that was being passed around...
