July 30, 2022. Five hearty Windbreaker souls met up on Saturday morning for the latest edition of a fine Windbreaker tradition: the Tour de Craft Breweries. After a multi-year absence from visiting Downtown Los Angeles, we returned, visiting two new locations and a revisit to an old favorite.
On our way via the San Gabriel River Trail at the Santa Fe Dam
Our route followed familiar roads to the Santa Fe Dam, then through Temple City, San Gabriel, Alhambra, and northeast LA along Huntington Dr. and Mission Blvd. to our destination. First stop was the Highland Park Brewery near Chinatown for lunch and a well-earned cold beverage. Then to the Arts District and a return visit to Boomtown Brewery. And finally to Homebound Brew Haus at Union Station for a celebratory beverage before boarding the Metrolink train for the return trip to Windbreaker country.
Though we missed some of our fellow mates who couldn't make the ride, a good time was had by all. Ride On!
