Third Annual CraftHop returns over Veteran's Day weekend in Temecula

Sidecar Tours Temecula and Little Bus Tours offer special CraftHop brewery tours for those who want to leave the driving to someone else.

TEMECULA, CA— Celebrate Temecula Valley's craft beer scene as Visit Temecula Valley presents its third annual CraftHop, Friday, November 10 through Sunday, November 12. Participating breweries will offer drink specials and a free collectible logo glass at each stop. A complimentary glass comes with purchase of a CraftHop special, but only while supplies last.

"While Temecula Valley has gained recognition as a wine destination, its breweries have been carving out their own reputation by crafting award-winning beers," said Scott A. Wilson, CEO of Visit Temecula Valley.

Participating taprooms will offer a signature beverage and, of course, a chance to taste a wide variety of brews including hazy IPAs, pale ales, malty stouts, and barrel-aged strong ales, just to name a few. Visitors are encouraged to sip at their own pace using a self-guided tour map. No tickets or reservations are necessary.

More than Beer

Crafthop is more than craft beers, Batch Mead will offer award winning meads and hard ciders locally developed in Temecula. Mead is a beverage made with fermented honey and featuring fruit, hops, spices, and/or grains. Possibly the oldest alcohol with origins from Europe, Asia, and Africa, mead is known as the "nectar of the gods."
