Repost from @visitcalifornia ā¢ It's hard to imagine a time when craft beer wasn't a key part of the California identity. But for Barbara Groom in @RedwoodCoaster, craft breweries were a complete novelty when she launched the @lostcoastbrewery back in 1989.ā£ ā£ Visitors can get a taste of Lost Coast straight from the source at the restaurant and taproom, located half a mile from the windswept shores of Humboldt Bay. As the breweryās name indicates, the little city of #Eureka is a great place to get lost. Surrounded by towering redwoods, curled against the shore, @visiteureka has the perfect balance of creature comforts and a get-away-from-it-all feel. āItās such a beautiful place,ā says Groom. ā£ ā£ Planning a visit? Jot down these local-approved tips: ā£ ā£ šØ Stay: The gingerbread-style Victorian @carterhouseinns is a must. ā£ š Visit: Family-owned bookstore, @eurekabooks. ā£ š Views: Watch the sun setting behind the rocks at #TrinidadHead. ā£ š³ Experience: Try the #RedwoodSkywalk at @sequoiaparkzoo an interpretive trail suspended 100 feet above the ground that you'll never ever forget. ā£ .ā£ #VisitCalifornia #VisitEureka #VisitHumboldt https://www.instagram.com/p/CYXPKqovh1C/?utm_medium=tumblr
