Balboa Park will have two beer exhibits open by the end of the summer.
After the success of Bottled & Kegged: San Diego’s Craft Brew Culture at the San Diego History Center, which opened April 6 and runs until next January 20, the San Diego Museum of Man will debut its own beer-focused exhibit just down the road.
“BEERology (as we’re calling it) will open on August 24th and will run for at least a year,” said Hope Carlson, Chief Development Officer, in an e-mail to San Diego Brewers Guild members this afternoon.
Where the History Center’s focus is more local, the Museum of Man is looking global.
“We’re telling the story of the history of beer around the world, from millet beers in China, to thick Sumerian beer, to the spit beers of South America, to the beer that built the Pyramid of Giza in Ancient Egypt, all the way up to the start of the craft that is now flourishing in San Diego.”
