San Diego, the Craft Beer Capital of America, welcomes visitors to raise a pint and toast the milestone 10th anniversary of San Diego Beer Week (SDBW), November 2-11, 2018. Presented by the San Diego Brewers Guild, this premier, annual celebration showcases beers from more than 130 local craft breweries at events held throughout San Diego County at participating breweries, bars, restaurants and more. One of the country’s biggest beer weeks, SDBW is expanding Beer Week 2018 by welcoming breweries from neighboring Tijuana and Baja, Mexico, paying homage to the Cali-Baja culture that makes San Diego a unique destination. The following are some tips for making the most of your beer-cation: Research: From planning your time wisely to knowing the origins of craft beer, it pays to be an informed visitor during SDBW. • Pouring over San Diego’s craft beer scene during SDBW can seem a little overwhelming, but thanks to the San Diego Brewers Guild’s official new “SD Beer” mobile app (available for iOS and Android), all the info visitors need is just a tap and a swipe away. • Discover how agriculture, cities, writing and religion all have ties to ancient craft brewing at the fascinating BEERology exhibit at the San Diego Museum of Man in Balboa Park. Sponsored by several San Diego breweries, the exhibit explores ancient Egyptians, Sumerians, Chinese, and even beerloving headhunters from the Amazon that perfected the brewing arts in interesting, and even strange, ways. Visitors can learn fascinating stories and see phenomenal artifacts that reveal the links between beer and culture, such as the solid gold beer
cup of an Inca king. Let Someone Else Do the Driving: When it comes to SDBW events, ridesharing is an appealing option thanks to discounted rides with Lyft. For visitors looking to do in-depth exploration of the local beer scene, several tour companies provide rides with season experts. • Explore the sudsier side of San Diego on customized private or public tours, featuring a driver and tour guide that picks up guests at their hotels. A fun and safe way to visit San Diego’s breweries, companies like Brew Hop, Brewery Tours of San Diego and San Diego Beer, Wine & Spirits Tour do all the driving while visitors partake in all the beer tasting. Take Time to Unwind: While in San Diego, it’s important to enjoy some down time and relaxation, both of which can be done with beer in hand. • Visitors can tap into spiritual well-being and inner peace at San Diego breweries with Hoppy Yoga, offering yoga sessions for all levels at a featured brewery followed by an optional beer social. The cost is $20 per person and includes a tasting flight or pint. Money saving packages are available, including the 2-pack ($35) and 6-pack ($90). • Every Friday night (7:30-10 p.m.), Flagship Cruises hosts a Hops on the Harbor craft beer dinner cruise featuring a different San Diego brewery each month. Cruise highlights include craft beer flights by the featured brewery, gourmet food stations, meet and greet with brewers, dancing, prize giveaways and spectacular views of San Diego Bay.
