“Small craft brewing operation decorated with imagery inspired by Dante’s Divine Comedy — the brewery gets its name from Dante’s nine circles of hell. Fortunately, the beer is cold, and tasty, and often a good pairing with the abundance of Asian restaurants in the area.”     –description on the San Diego Reader

“Lager up, sinners, or wait till the next batch. . . While the Japanese rice lager they served abroad wasn’t served at the opening, an Americanized version of the beer, dubbed Limbo, was.” [. . .]     –Ian Anderson, San Diego Reader, August 21, 2017 (retrieved November 27, 2021)
