Breweries:
There’s a fabulous saying in Napa: “It takes a lot of good beer to make great wine.” The entire process of making beer only takes 8 days and four ingredients (hops, water, yeast and malt); peanuts compared to the pressure of producing vino. Visit the Napa Smith Brewery & Winery to see the process in action and taste a cold one straight off the assembly line—how cool is that?
Vic Bourassa is partnering with the brewery to create a tasting room that will have beer on one side and wine on the other, eliminating the need for arguments with your new spouse if you have different drink preferences. Pour the beer from light to dark, like you would with wine, and make sure you try the Amber Ale, which is the best-selling brew in Napa.
