Over the weekend, members of The Indie Beer Show<\/a><\/strong> podcast held an event at The Rabbit Hole<\/a><\/strong> in Normal Heights to announce the winning beer from this year\u2019s Sore Eye Cup<\/strong> competition. An annual tradition dating back to 2013, this contest includes local beers nominated by fans on social media. The top ten vote-getting entries are then passed on to a blind-tasting round, with the highest-scoring beer from that session being named champion. This year\u2019s winner was Juice Maze<\/strong> IPA<\/strong> from The Original 40<\/a> <\/strong>brewpub in North Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That 7% alcohol-by-volume hazy IPA beat out beers from nine other San Diego breweries. That field included three other IPAs from Escondido Brewing<\/a><\/strong>, Pariah Brewing<\/a><\/strong> and Thr3e Punk Ales Brewing<\/a><\/strong>, of which only one other was Northeastern in style. Others in the top ten included 2kids Brewing<\/a> <\/strong>(helles lager), 13 Point Brewing <\/a><\/strong>(pale ale), Burgeon Beer Co.<\/a><\/strong> (Kellerpils), Burning Beard Brewing<\/a> <\/strong>(pilsner), Deft Brewing<\/a><\/strong> (porter) and Wild Barrel Brewing<\/a> <\/strong>(guava Berliner weisse). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Winners were decided by a panel of judges that included members of the podcast, members of homebrew club QUAFF<\/a><\/strong>, industry members and other personalities in the local beer scene. Though The Original 40 has only been open around two months, its head brewer, Chris Gillogly<\/strong>, is no stranger to winning awards, having been the only local beermaker to bring home multiple medals at last year\u2019s Great American Beer Festival<\/a><\/strong>. Former winners of the Sore Eye Cup include Burgeon\u2019s Treevana IPA (2018), Benchmark Brewing<\/strong>\u2019s Oatmeal Stout (2017), Second Chance Beer Co.<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Tabula Rasa (2016), AleSmith Brewing<\/a><\/strong>\u2019<\/a>s Speedway Stout (2015 and 2014) and Alpine Beer Co.<\/a><\/strong>‘s Nelson (2013).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to creating a fun spectacle for breweries and beer fans alike, the Sore Eye Cup event also benefited the work of Mama\u2019s Kitchen<\/a><\/strong>, a local non-profit providing meals to San Diegans in need. Attendees were asked to bring 25 pounds of non-perishable food to qualify for prizes donated by breweries and industry-appurtenant interests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
