Exploring Earth’s Craft Beer UniverseIndependent Craft Beer
Premier editorial source for independent craft beer, filed by a crew that did not exactly plan to be here.
“While vacationing in the Milky Way galaxy, the Beer Aliens crash-landed on Earth near San Diego, California. After a somewhat perplexing intelligence-gathering mission concerning Earth’s inhabitants, the Beer Aliens were relieved to discover their new home planet was full of places crafting the only sustenance they required: BEER.”
Now on a permanent mission to taste Earth’s craft beer, one brewery at a time. Beer Alien is an independent digital publication dedicated to discovering, documenting, and celebrating exceptional craft beer, breweries, and culture across the globe.
