San Diego Beer Week takes place each fall — but that is so far from now! Which is why the non-profit San Diego Brewers Guild is hosting the smaller scale SD Beer Weekend for the fourth year in a row.
“What a way to set the table for Fourth of July week,” Fowler said. “Craft beer, music, and sunshine is all you need for a weekend to celebrate this great San Diego industry that means so much to so many people in so many communities. While the festival is our marquee event for the weekend, we just hope everyone will go out and support their favorite brewery or branch out to try a new one.”
SD Beer Weekend will feature events and specials at individual breweries throughout the County, and beer drinkers are asked to visit the Brewers Guild’s calendar to learn more.
