It’s ‘hipster wine’ if it’s rare, odd or organic

(UTSanDiego) - The word “hipster” paired with “wine” is not exactly commonplace here in San Diego. The most fashionable kids these days are drinking beer. Some prefer the blue-collar authenticity and price of PBR while others seek out the rare and highly-in-demand “micro” and “nano” brews by one of the new local ale crafters like Societe, Monkey Paw and Hess.
Let me first say that I am an aging hipster from the ’90s Bay Area scene. I played bass in a band and worked a day job as a cabinetmaker using reclaimed wood, drove a 1966 Ford pickup and lived in a warehouse on the railroad tracks in West Berkeley. I have no shame admitting my social identity at the time. Let’s face it, hipsters are into really cool stuff.
