We’ve been quieter than usual on the blog, so this is a good time to remind you of the channels of news dispersal we offer:<\/p>\n

– The online event calendar is where it all started. Before\u00a0printing the first issue of\u00a0West Coaster,\u00a0<\/em>we visited many local breweries and asked how we could help keep the public in the loop. One of the main answers: event listings. So check out our calendar<\/a>, and if you’re a local industry member, please help us by submitting events with this easy form<\/a>.<\/p>\n

– The WC<\/em> Facebook<\/a> is where we share news from local brewing industry pages, re-post SD beer stories from other bloggers, and upload photos albums from events. Recently, we added photos from Russian River Consecration Weekend at Toronado in North Park, Iron Fist’s tasting room expansion kick-off in Vista, Los Angeles’ Golden Road Brewing’s “SD Launch” at URGE American Gastropub in Rancho Bernardo, the “New Kids on the Block” event at The Handlery Hotel & Resort, Fathom Bistro Bait & Tackle on the pier at Shelter Island (bistro not yet open), and industry night at Manzanita Brewing Company’s new tasting room.<\/p>\n

– On Twitter (@westcoastersd<\/a>), we re-tweet beer releases, events and news from the local industry, and occasionally we have a beer ourselves.<\/p>\n

– The WC<\/em>\u00a0Brewing Industry Watch page<\/a> helps you keep up with all the breweries opening around the county. Currently there are 53 licensed & operational brew houses in SD, with 31 more in various stages of planning. Just this morning we added Dean Rouleau’s (former San Diego Brewing Company head brewer) Prodigy Brewing Company to the planned breweries list. The next listing to move from the ‘planned’ to ‘active’ category will be Karl Strauss’ 4S Ranch Brewpub, soft opening to the public July 31. Please send additions\/suggestions\/corrections to WC<\/em> Publisher Mike Shess via mike@westcoastersd.com<\/p>\n

– Our online directory<\/a> is divided into beer bars, bottle shops, brewpubs, breweries, home brew supply shops and restaurants. From there, you can narrow your search by ‘amenities’ such as cans, growlers, kid-friendly, etc. We also print a directory and map on the back two pages of each issue.<\/p>\n
