Cheese, Green Flash and Gold Medals!

Hello Beer Fans!

I still feel as though I have not completely recovered from the insanity that was the Craft Brewers Conference and World Beer Cup two weeks ago. It was a fantastic week of beer and brewers - a big thanks to everyone who helped make it happen: the WBC volunteers, the brewers who brought beer, the importers and distributors who helped set up events, our staff who worked brilliantly under stressful conditions (and Jami for coming back) and of course you for helping to drink all of that great beer and making O’Brien’s the place to be that week.

The good news is that much of the great beer is still here, but without the crowds. We will continue to have some great specials for the next few weeks as we use up some beers that never made it on tap during the conference, and kegs that we had ample back ups for as well.

Hello about to be happy Beer Fans!

Next week San Diego is hosting the Craft Brewers Conference and World Beer Cup. More than 2000 industry professionals will be in town and it will mean insane beer events at every good beer bar in town all week long. Many of the events are posted on the San Diego Brewers Guild website - www.sandiegobrewersguild.org. If you don’t have it bookmarked yet, you should. It is an excellent resource for finding out what is going on in the world of good beer around San Diego county. I have some incredible events planned that will showcase some of the best beers in the world - of course many will be quite hoppy, but that is the way most of us like it!
