Last year, Mayor Jerry Sanders proclaimed June “Craft Beer Month” in San Diego at Green Flash Brewing Co. Today, Sanders will be at Coronado Brewing Co.’sunder-construction Knoxville facility to again discuss the craft beer industry and its effects on our county and culture.
In this issue of West Coaster, we look at the growth of the World Beer Cup (page 1), a ten-year anniversary beer (Stone Ruination Tenth Anniversary IPA, page 1), a festival showcasing worldwide brewing talent with Sam Tierney’s Into the Brew column (page 4), craft beer at Petco via Jeff Hammett’s Beer and Now column (page 8), featured beer events for the month of June, and one from July (page 10), the scene of Ocean Beach (pages 12-13), rarely-in SD beer from Founders Brewing (page 14), a great Quarterly event via Brandon Hernández’s Plates & Pints column (page 16), our “Beer of the Month” Winter San Salvador from Home Brew Mart/Ballast Point (page 17), collaboration beers featuring SD brewers (page 18), plus our monthly Brews in the News (pages 6-7, 15), and more Craft Brewers Conference/World Beer Cup coverage (pages 20-21).
Oh, and don’t forget our craft beer directory and map on pages 22-23. Cheers!
