The San Diego launch will take place over the course of several days, from May 20 through May 23. Epic’s National Sales Manager Michael Malachowski will be in attendance at the events.
- The first event will take place at the Encinitas Ale House on May 20 at 4 p.m., with several different Epic brews available on draft.
- On May 21 at 5 p.m., Epic representatives will be at SD TapRoom with five brews on tap;
- On May 22 at 4 p.m., The Public House La Jolla will host a tap takeover;
- On May 23 at 5 p.m., Churchill’s Pub and Grille will be serving 10 different beers on draft.
“We are excited about expanding the California market,” Malachowski said. “San Diego is a great market and we are confident that the craft beer population will embrace the beers.”
