Four Stops on a Chico, California Road Trip

July 12, 2016 by Lori Leave a Comment

This Chico, California road trip had been a long time coming. Its place of origin just happened to change from the time we decided we should go, until the time we actually got around to doing so.

We started thinking about it when we were still living in the Bay Area. Leave it to us to move even further away to finally hit the road, ultimately for good beer. That didn’t discourage us though, all that changed was where we were coming from, a few extra miles on the road.

These are four of our favorite stops on our Chico, California road trip. A few things were planned, but on this particular trip more were decided along the way.

Depending on where you reside, you may not give a second thought to craft beer and local breweries. Meaning, it is the norm for you; special, but nothing special at the same time.

However, if you live someplace, like say, Kentucky; it’s a little bit of a different story. Here, the movement is beginning to rumble like the inside of a volcano; once dormant, it has now come to life.

It seems to be everywhere, and everyone seems to be talking about it. Well, maybe it is just that everyone I hang out with is talking about it. You tend to get into a lot of beer conversations when you are both a food blogger and a traveler.
