O'Brien's does it again! Back to back years named USA Today's top beer bar in the country and this week we celebrate why with Tom, Tori and Tyson! Tonight we kick things off pairing not a beer but Serpentine Cider's Guava Apple Cider along with O'Brien's world famous Pork Belly Bites.

It's been a fantastic week sitting with Brandon Hernandez from the SanDiegoBeer.News Awards! Tonight we close out a week with a toast to the host of the official after party, recently named number one beer bar in the USA by USA Today, O'Brien's Pub! Of course we have to toast with a big award winning beer from last year's ceremony from GOAL. Brewing, Year of the Mamba Filipino Style Lager.

Another amazing feature about the SanDiegoBeer.News Awards is the recognition give by the industry to other very deserving recipients like the Vanguard Brewer and Customer Service Awards. Today we discuss how these local stand-outs are selected over a very select Golden Stout from Karl Strauss.

Brandon Hernandez from SanDiegoBeer.News is pulling out some of the winners from last years Awards ceremony. To wrap up a Wednesday we revisit the gold medal winning beer from the Pilsner category, Seek Beer Co's Fortune Pilsner

We are exactly one week away from the SanDiegoBeer.News Awards at Societe Brewing Company. Today as we continue our countdown the awards we talk about how all the nominees got their place of honor and of course we do that over a beer that holds the record when it comes to getting the most votes, Burgeon Beer's Carlsbad Crush Pale Ale.

This week we count down to one of the most special nights in craft beer, the SanDiegoBeer.News Awards! Curator Brandon Hernandez drops by all week to talk about the awards and how you can be apart of them and share some amazing beer! We kick things off with the Host of this years ceremony, Societe Brewing and their San Diego IPA The Pupil.

Barrel aging was at the heart of where Prey Brewing came from so it's no surprise that we end this week of beers with a barrel aged monster! Birthday Cake is an Imperial Stout aged in red wine barrels that drinks like a crazy mix of cabernet and chocolate!

It only makes sense that after Justin and Chris from Prey Brewing introduce us to their West Coast IPA, a Hazy IPA makes a good chaser! This Hazy, Life & Death comes out of a collaboration with Tap Room. Focusing more on the Dank hops this beer has that thumbprint dry finish that every Prey beer has had so far.

Justin from Prey Brewing likes to make crushable beers that you can have more then one of and his take on the Breaker West Coast IPA follows suit. A light bodied and floral yet dry IPA, Breaker is a easy drinking gateway to the Hop Highway in Vista

Brewers like to make beer that they can drink a lot of and not get completely destroyed. A perfect example of this Justin and Chris from Prey Brewing brought in today, another sub 5% ABV American Light Lager called Prairie Wolf.
