Drink The Craft

Craft beer news from San Diego and beyond.

Ladies, it's beer time →

While there are apparently still some numbskulls out there who think women only drink white wine and cocktails (including, we hear, a few check-out clerks at a certain beverage store in La Jolla), there’s quite a few people who get that craft beer is revered by both sexes. Stone Brewing Co. ranks right up there in the latter category, so if you’re a craft-beer loving lady, check out their second women-only Beer-U next Monday. (If you’re not a lady, click through anyway to see Stone’s beer-loving twist on classic Rosie the Riveter.)

After more than two months, a handful of missteps, and a few frustrating emails, we are happy to announce that drinkthecraft.com is live! And just in time for @sdbeerweek too! It’s far from perfect and rather lacking in content, but it’s there. Keep checking back over the next few weeks (especially #sdbw09) as we add to the site.
