Another local brewery closes its doors

The brewing community is so close-knit that when a local brewery shuts down it's like losing a family member.  Sadly, yesterday we said goodbye to Airdale Brewing Co.  As pointed out in the West Coaster article which broke the story, the beer was actually brewed in Irvine, but I'm sure we will all remember them as a San Diego native.  I just tried The Angry Panda, their 9% amber ale, on Sunday night.  I was impressed and looking forward to other special releases I had not yet tried.  They will be missed.
