South Of North sits right on the state line between California and Nevada, only two blocks away from the gondola at Heavenly, and less than half a mile from the shore of Lake Tahoe. You can just about walk over to the brewery in your ski boots and grab a quick beer before heading back out on the hill. But beware: these beers are so good, you might decide you'd rather just keep drinking instead.

I hung out with South Of North's head brewer Brian Cicero, and Savannah Mendoza, the general manager. I got to try the Explorer Cream Ale, the Coconut Coffee Brown Ale, the El Padrino Bourbon Barrel Stout, the Motorcycle Mama IPA, and the Soulcrusher Hard Seltzer. I highly recommend all of them. But the brown ale and the stout will change your life.

Theme music is "Camaro", by Oliver Michael. The other music in this episode is "Oceanside" and "Manila Chill", both by Kicktracks. You can find all the music on Artlist.io.
