I have heard from beer industry professionals that California has made many forms of legitimate promotion illegal. Many conventional avenues of promotion - such as print and the net - regarding the availability of beer and organizing tastings and beer dinners are evoking threatening calls from the state government.

Not being one who can appreciate that kind of fascist state policy and having no liscence to hold hostage, I took it upon myself to assemble a list of outlets who carry hign calibre beers. It is not complete but if you are in CA and are running into problems finding great beer, this list may help.

Want to be listed amoung CA retailers? Let me know.
