When I tell most people I live in Temecula, they either know about our rapidly growing wineries, our old town or Pechanga. For me, I am not too much of a wine drinker, I do like a glass every once and a while, but I personally am more of a craft beer kind of gal.
Luckily for me, Temecula breweries are popping up all over the place and with some of the best craft beer, I have had anywhere. Here is my list of the top 10 breweries you need to try Now!
