Since April, the San Diego Brewers Guild has been testing a calendar to list the new releases, cask nights, food pairings and other events from local breweries. You're on this mailing list, so you have seen this in action.
The test went well. We have been happy with the calendar and have been excited to offer a new way to connect fans with local craft breweries.
So, we doubled down, got a shiny new domain name, and plonked the calendar front and center. Goodbye sandiegobrewersguild.org. Hello sdbeer.com.
The site houses our calendar, brewery map, and general information about the Guild, and you can browse our list of breweries or search for something specific. It's designed to look great on your phone, tablet or computer. We will promote the events on this calendar through social media and email, like the one you're reading right now.
We intend for this to be the easiest way for you and your friends to follow the entire sdbeer scene, learn about new breweries, and find yourselves some good beer.
We just pulled the covers off this thing. Poke around and let us know what you think.

The launch of sdbeer.com was a team effort. The project was lead by Todd Colburn of Higher Gravity Brand Advocates and blessed by Jill Davidson, President of the San Diego Brewers Guild. The site was designed by Ben Liddi, an interactive designer at Stone Brewing, and built by Motionstrand, a full service digital agency in Escondido. Betterpress, a local collaborative publishing company, supplies the fresh content.
