Two years ago, I purchased a 32-page, locally<br />
printed “brewery passport” and it hasn’t left<br />
my purse since. Started by Sacramento Beer<br />
Frontier, it allows holders<br />
to collect custom stamps<br />
at each of our region’s 65<br />
(and counting) breweries,<br />
in addition to fun swag like<br />
a pint glass, bottle opener,<br />
and—when your journey’s<br />
complete—a tailor-made<br />
map of your sip excursion.<br />
As a (self-proclaimed) craft beer buff,<br />
it’s not only forced my husband and me to<br />
explore more breweries and styles of suds<br />
being crafted here but taken us to towns<br />
we’d typically zoom right past. When<br />
weekends allow, we’ll tie in a tasting with<br />
another fun activity—from a hike in Auburn<br />
followed by stamps at Crooked Lane,<br />
Moonraker, and Knee Deep; to kayaking on<br />
Lake Natoma with post-paddle pints at Fort<br />
Rock and Claimstake. And though we’re<br />
getting close to completing our adventure, it<br />
seems like new establishments are opening<br />
every weekend.<br />
Whether you, like me, have an affinity<br />
for ales or you go gaga for grapes, let this<br />
issue be a cheerful reminder of how amazing<br />
our area is for all the above. Starting on page<br />
27, contributor Luna Anona presents “Your<br />
Guide to the Region’s<br />
Best Beer and Wine,”<br />
featuring a roundup<br />
of new (and soon-toopen)<br />
tasting rooms<br />
along with some of<br />
the original places that<br />
first put us on the map,<br />
trends to take note of, labels we love, fun<br />
facts you probably don’t know, and much<br />
more. It’s proof that you don’t need to go to<br />
Napa for a weekend of wine tasting or down<br />
to San Diego to sample award-winning IPAs.<br />
Everything you’re thirsty for, minus the<br />
stuffy surrounds, is just a hop, skip, and a<br />
jump away.<br />
Alcohol aside, this month also marks<br />
the start of back to school. To that end, we<br />
have 10 safety tips for keeping kiddos safe<br />
(page 10), courtesy of Amitis Pourarian,<br />
owner of THE STUDIO Martial Arts and<br />
Fitness, and a special addition to our Swag<br />
section highlighting must-have products<br />
to survive the school year in style (page 48).<br />
And for those extra busy evenings you’re<br />
too tuckered out to cook a family-friendly<br />
meal? Fret not. Flip to page 42 for our<br />
favorite kids’ menus, featuring dishes so<br />
delectable you might be asking your server<br />
if adults can order it too.<br />
“Beer, if drunk in<br />
moderation, softens<br />
the temper, cheers<br />
the spirit, and<br />
promotes health.”—<br />
Thomas Jefferson<br />
As always, we packed many more<br />
buzzworthy articles in the pages that follow,<br />
so pour yourself something to sip on and<br />
remember to read responsibly. Cheers!<br />
