Just because a brewery is big that doesn’t necessarily mean it’s good. The inverse of this formula is also true. Homebrewers and small breweries often make very good beer. In the case of Robert Masterson of Resident Brewing in San Diego, CA, the beer is phenomenal. In this episode of Good Beer
Matters, we continue exploring the world of small breweries, their evolution, and their challenges. Thank you for joining me as we head to sunnySan Diego to live like a local and drink like a resident.
To paraphrase one of my favorite movies, Ratatouille, Not every home brewer can be a great pro, but a great pro brewer can come from anywhere. Robert Masterson could easily have been that guy who made that beer that all his friends love and left it at that. Instead, he put in the effort and the passion to grow and share his vision with anyone willing to taste something better. If you ask me, that is the hallmark of a craft brewer.
