Follow Sean Inman to the best in craft beer
I have to admit despite living in the greater Los Angeles area, that both San Francisco and San Diego have us beat when it comes to beer weeks and the latter is hosting theirs in November which is a great time to drive south and take in some beers from the self-proclaimed Capital of Craft.
Check HERE for the schedule of events such as their kick-off beer festival at Kilowatt Brewing as well as a special West Coast IPA release and a clean up the streets event.
San Diego Beer Week starts on the 4th with a virtual toast then kicks into gear the next day with Brewers Guild festival. That is just the start. You can also peruse the calendar for the rest of the activities, right HERE.
Close on the heels of L.A. Beer week comes the San Diego version.
From the press release, “The only official San Diego Brewers Guild sanctioned event, San Diego Beer Week will be held November 4-13, 2011. The ten-day festival celebrating local, craft beer will feature beer dinners, festivals, rare bottle tastings, cheese pairings, brewery tours, classes, and more. SDBW 2011 kicks off with the San Diego Brewers Guild Festival on Saturday November 5, 2011 at Liberty Station and concludes with the “Beer Garden” event at The Lodge at Torrey Pines on Sunday November 13, 2011.”
Events that caught my eye (out of the 178+ on the list) are the British Pub Day party at Sessions Public, the Cellar-bration at the Linkery, and the San Diego Beer Week intro held at Stone.
Just glancing through the list, there are a lot of places in San Diego that I need to visit.
