“Beer Week 2011 took us all by surprise; every brewpub, bottle shop, brewery and restaurant seemed to step up with great events and offerings. Considering the incredible growth over the past year in the Guild, 2012 Beer Week will be that much more amazing” said Shawn DeWitt, president of San Diego Brewers Guild in a released statement.
“We encourage locals and visitors to participate in the festivities. The weather in San Diego is beautiful in November, and with ten-days of beer festivities to choose from, there’s no better time or place to celebrate our city’s award-winning beer,” DeWitt added.
The 10-day celebration is the craft beer capital’s premiere annual event, hosted by the key players in the craft brew scene, including breweries, nano-breweries, pubs, alehouses and San Diego Brewers Guild Members.
