There are some great events happening around San Diego today, including cask tappings of AleSmith’s My Bloody Valentine at Main Tap Tavern and PB TapRoom, plus Hump Day Hop Fest at Phileas Foggs and the Drink The Point shuttle tour of seven Point Loma/OB beer spots.
But for the business-minded beer drinker, you will be best served by attending the MIT Enterprise Forum’s panel on the craft and technology of microbreweries at UCSD. Registration and networking begins at 5 p.m. followed by a moderated panel discussion at 6 p.m. featuring Jeff Bagby from the yet-to-open Bagby Beer Company, CEO Chris Cramer from Karl Strauss, COO Pat Tiernan from Stone Brewing Co., and President, CEO & Founder Chris White from White Labs. At 7:30 p.m. there will be a Q&A session and small-group discussion in the foyer followed by networking, dessert and coffee until 8:30 p.m.
The cost is $65 for the general public ($75 at the door). Discounts apply for SME Connect members as well as MIT alums and students. Parking is free; more information/registration can be found here.
