Party at AleSmith!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Congrats to AleSmith<\/a> on receiving 1st place in TapHunter.com’s<\/a> SD Brewery of the Year Awards.\u00a0 Nearly 500 votes were cast and it was no surprise to see the Mira Mesa brewery take top spot.\u00a0 Just like their beers, the celebratory party on Friday night did not disappoint – the tasting room was filled to the brim.\u00a0 Head honcho Peter Zien dropped in to check the scene before retreating to enjoy a celebratory beer away from the masses.\u00a0 Mel and Flash Gordon, TapHunter’s dynamic duo, were excited to see the great turnout.<\/p>\n

Just a couple blocks away, the party was already underway as Hess Brewing<\/a> celebrated their 2nd place finish in the vote.\u00a0 On tap besides some great Hess selections were beers from the 3rd place finishers, Ballast Point and Stone.\u00a0 Tabe BBQ<\/a> was on hand to provide nourishment to the growing crowd, with many coming straight from the AleSmith festivities.\u00a0 Although a small brewery, Hess is really making waves in the San Diego Craft Beer Scene.<\/p>\n
