On episode three of Scene in San Diego Featuring Eater, we talk about the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on our city’s craft breweries as the industry continues to adapt to challenges. We also explore an ambitious new brewery that recently opened in Mission Valley – but not without its own COVID-19 obstacles.We are joined by our guest, Paige McWey Acers, from the San Diego Brewers Guild to give us an update on San Diego’s craft beer industry in these tough times. McWey Acers has helped lead the guild for over seven years and currently serves as its executive director. She previously worked for Karl Strauss Brewing Company.Current Public Health Rules for San Diego’s Breweries & Tasting RoomsSan Diego’s breweries/tasting rooms first temporarily closed in mid-March as the coronavirus pandemic hit San Diego County. At that point, many craft brewers turned to canning, curbside pickup, merch sales, beer delivery and shipping to survive. Breweries were allowed to reopen in late May 2020 – if they served food, on the same transaction as beer. Many of San Diego’s independent brewers slowly reopened their tasting rooms, finding ways to bring food sales into the mix and adapt to the pandemic-related public health guidelines (social distancing, masks, signage, etc.) necessary to operate.On July 1, more change jolted the industry. San Diego County public health leaders amended the Public Health Order to include the closure of breweries (and bars) that DO NOT serve food. The order excluded wineries and distilleries that have outdoor tasting rooms; those are still allowed to operate but must do so outdoors.Weeks later, breweries in San Diego County can only operate outdoors, if they also sell food, all in the same transaction. Many breweries are partnering with caterers, restaurants and food trucks to follow those rules, but it’s still a challenge.San Diego County remains on California’s COVID-19 monitoring list through at least July 27, with these restrictions for breweries (and many other businesses) in place until at least through that date.The San Diego Brewers Guild, which currently has more than 120 members, is keeping a running list on its website of which of its members are open – and at what capacity. Some craft breweries are open for curbside pickup only, some are shipping their products, some are open for modified hours – only when they can book a food truck or partner with a restaurant. You can check out that list here.Guest Interview: Paige McWey Acers, Executive Director of the San Diego Brewers GuildPaige McWey Acers has had a storied career in local beer. She speaks with Monica Garske and Candice Woo about San Diego’s craft brewing industry, including how San Diego Brewers Guild members are staying afloat in the choppy pandemic times.McWey Acers touches on how food is served at breweries these days and how brewers have pivoted. She also discusses the some of big challenges craft brewers are facing and what the industry needs right now from customers and local government.The reality is, the pandemic is having an impact on how San Diego’s craft brewing industry is operating and how it will operate in the future.San Diego Brewers Guild: The BEER FundTo help support local craft brewers in need during the pandemic, San Diego City Councilmember Chris Cate and County Supervisor Jim Desmond -- have set up something called the BEER Fund, or “Breweries Experiencing Economic Roadblocks.” All donations to the fund directly benefit the San Diego Brewers Guild and will be distributed by the guild to local craft brewers experiencing financial hardship. You can donate to the BEER Fund here and read more about it here.Local Craft Breweries That Couldn’t Make It: Tasting Rooms That Have Permanently ClosedSadly, not all craft breweries will be able to survive the economic impact of the COVID-19 crisis. The SDBG said several of its members have had to permanently shutter in recent months. This includes: Iron Fist in Vista and Barrio Logan; Escondido Brewing Company; Thunderhawk Alements in Miramar. Iron Fist operated in Vista for about 10 years and announced it was shutting down all operation in mid-May – even before this second wave of pandemic rollbacks in San Diego County.San Diego’s New Brewery: Puesto CerveceriaIn the midst of some breweries scaling back or even closing shop, we have seen the debut of a couple of breweries during the pandemic, including an ambitious restaurant, bar and brewery from Puesto in Mission Valley.Puesto Cerveceria is a 10,000-square-foot brewery/restaurant that replaces the Gordon Biersch brewpub. Puesto has eateries in La Jolla and The Headquarters at Seaport, but this is the Mexican restaurant’s first foray into brewing its own beer. The project was delayed due to several COVID-19 related issues, which also impacted its beer program.The Mission Valley brewery was originally set to open in April, but the pandemic delayed those plans. Puesto is making a variety of traditional Mexican-style lagers, which were ready to go for that planned April debut, but the beers had to be brewed all over again when the location’s opening was postponed.Ales can typically be brewed and consumed within a few weeks, but lagers need a slower fermentation process. Puesto said its freshly-brewed lagers will be available by August and will eventually be served at all the brand’s restaurants in California.Puesto spent $8 million on the Mission Valley brewery/restaurant but, due to current pandemic health restrictions in San Diego County, patrons can’t go inside just yet. To operate, Puesto – like all local restaurants right now – can move its dining room outdoors. The Mission Valley location has two big outdoor seating areas and has added a pop-up patio in the parking lot, for now.COVID-19 Collaboration Beer: San Diego Brewers Unite Double IPAAlthough it’s rough right now for craft breweries, guild members are still finding ways to help and support one another – very much in spirit of the industry.Earlier this month, Stone Brewing said it had collaborated with six prominent SDBG members – AleSmith; Modern Times; Mother Earth; Pizza Port; Port Brewing; and Thorn – to create a new beer that directly benefits the San Diego Brewers Guild as the organization continues to try to provide support to its 120+ member breweries.The San Diego Brewers United Double IPA was released last week and will be available for a limited time in California only. It comes in a 4-pack of 16-ounce cans and all proceeds benefit the San Diego Brewers Guild. Read more about that project here.For more content from The Scene, visit this website.

Many happy returns of the day to our own beloved tin-foil hat wearing, space bar pushing Engineer Bob! To celebrate Bob’s special day, the gals decided to give him the best gift they could think of... another episode of Conspiracy Theories!! Vanessa broadcasts from her parents basement first with the tale of the Russian Sleep Experiment, where there is no “slep” but there is disembowelment, paired with Frogtown Brewery’s Nebula Fog NEIPA. Then Melissa calls out to the shepple with the story of flat Earth, where the south pole is a wall (Mexico paid for it) and weather is fake news, paired with Karl Strauss Brewing Company’s Mosiac IPA. Who will win in the battle of a fake story VS fake science? Listen and find out!

Cheers land lovers! We're off to sea this week as we sip on and review Wreck Alley Imperial Stout from Karl Strauss Brewing Company. Wreck Alley is full of locally sourced coffee, chocolate, and a darkness that has only been seen at the bottom of the ocean. This big imperial stout is 9% of dessert drinking, but will it be a harmonious buried treasure?What is your go-to when it comes to dessert beers?Make sure to follow Beer Harmony on all social media outlets @BeerHarmonyShow and check out www.beerharmonyshow.com for even more beer!

What have we done to ourselves?!? This week’s beer inspired stories were harder to find than anticipated, so each of the gals did two smaller stories. MORE STORIES FOR YOU! Melissa pops her bottle first with the tale of the Velvet St Melon Heads and how they are all descended from a Dracula who loved cantaloupe a little too much, and then reads us a small but deeply troubling selection from “The Haunted Vagina” which has no hauntings and waaaaaaay too much vagina. Melissa was given Firestone Walker Brewing Co’s Velvet Merkin English Oatmeal Stout as her beerspiration. Then Vanessa fills her glass with the story of San Antonio’s Ghost Tracks where dead children will push your car because their bus driver was too lazy to push theirs, and then takes us to Wisconsin where a old lady haunts a Subway... with her farts. Vanessa was given Karl Strauss Brewing Company’s Red Trolley Ale Irish Red as her beerspiration. Who will win in the battle of pet bones VS child ghosts? Listen and find out!

Craft Brew News – 1/18/19Maryland’s Flying Dog Brewery Hopes to Release Cannabis-Infused BeerPending approval from the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission, Flying Dog Brewery and Green Leaf Medical Cannabis plan to release Hop Chronic IPA, the state of Maryland’s first THC-infused non-alcoholic beer.The two Frederick, Maryland-based companies announced today that they intend to make Hop Chronic available to the state’s medical cannabis patients as an alternative to smoking or vaping as early as this summer.Flying Dog CEO Jim Caruso stated, “For people who don’t want to smoke, don’t want to vape, there’s no path of experiencing the therapeutic benefits,” “It feels good to be a part of creating a delicious IPA where people who want to experience cannabis that way can do that.”However, Flying Dog and Green Leaf face a potential regulatory roadblock as the Maryland Medical Cannabis Commission has yet to allow companies to produce or sell edible cannabis products.Nevertheless, Caruso stated that he’s optimistic the product will be approved since similar offerings have already received the go ahead in other states, like Colorado, where Ceria, Inc. founder and Blue Moon creator Keith Villa launched a similar product in December.If approved, Flying Dog would join a number of beer manufacturers that have already entered the cannabis space. Large beer companies such as Anheuser-Busch InBev (Tilray), Constellation Brands (Canopy Growth) and Molson Coors (Hexo) have each struck partnerships with Canadian cannabis companies. Other U.S. beer manufacturers, including Heineken-owned Lagunitas and Craft Brew Alliance (31.4 percent owned by A-B InBev), have experimented or explored the possibility of THC- and CBD-infused beverages.Ballast Point Sets Opening Date for Downtown Disney TaproomA year after announcing plans to open a taproom in Anaheim’s downtown Disney district at the Disneyland Resort, San Diego’s Ballast Point’s brewpub has set an opening date of Wednesday, January 16.The Constellation Brands-owned craft brewery said the new taproom will feature a 3-barrel brewing system and offer more than 50 styles of Ballast Point beer across 100 tap lines.Constellation Brands craft and specialty president Ben Dollard said, via a press release. “This new location also gives our passionate brewing and culinary teams the perfect place to test new and inventive offerings, as we welcome longtime Ballast Point fans and introduce new guests to our brand,” The Disney taproom is Ballast Point’s ninth in the U.S.Braxton Brewing Announces $5 Million ExpansionKentucky’s Braxton Brewing Company has embarked on a $5 million expansion that will include the purchase of the building where its brewery is currently situated, as well as the construction of a rooftop bar and the installation of a new canning line.Braxton co-founder and CEO Jake Rouse said the construction of the new 5,000 sq. ft. rooftop bar would cost about $1.5 million.The craft beer maker, which launched in 2015, will also spend approximately $2 million to acquire the Covington, Kentucky, property where the brewery is located, and another $1.5 million to expand production capabilities.According to Rouse, Braxton made about 17,000 barrels of beer in 2018, up from 11,500 in 2017. The company expects to produce upwards of 25,000 barrels in 2019 but will have the capacity to make 30,000 barrels.In late December, Braxton announced the launch of Vive Hard Seltzer. The product will be sold in 12 oz. slim cans, which led the company to invest in a new canning line capable of filling those packages.In addition to the Vive Hard Seltzer line, Braxton recently launched a new year-round New England-style IPA, called Tropic Flare. Four-packs of 12 oz. cans sell for a suggested retail price of $9.99.San Diego Brewers Guild, Lyft Share Most Requested Brewery DestinationsThe San Diego Brewers Guild and Lyft shared their list of most traveled craft brewery destinations of 2018.

GUEST BIO: Chris Squires is the Co-Founder of [Ten55 Brewing Co](http://1055brewing.com). Together with his co-founder, JP Vyborny, he brews and sells his own craft beer, called Ten55. In 2018, they expanded their business and opened a house-made sausage and beer food restaurant in downtown Tucson, Arizona. SHOW SUMMARY: Myth: New businesses think they need massive distribution to be profitable. Today's guest is Chris Squire, the Co-Founder of Ten55 Brewing Co. in Arizona. Chris has proven successful in maneuvering a saturated market of craft beers. He attributes Ten55 Brewing Co.'s success to being able to invite customers into their brewery and create long term brand advocates. In this episode, Chris explains how to exploit marketing gaps in loud markets and why he isn't fighting for shelf space at franchised grocery stores. He walks us through Ten55 Brewing Co.'s expansion into the restaurant space and gives aspiring entrepreneurs advice they may have never expected. This is the Lean Commerce Podcast. TOPICS: 00:00:47 Chris began brewing beer as a hobby prior to his entrepreneurial pursuit with JP. When you first started, how did you tackle supply chain problems? 00:02:45 Chris couldn't stress more about the advantages of regulation and distribution of liquor sales in Arizona. Using their regulations, he has been able to deliver beer directly to his consumers, expanding his brand's reach and advocacy. 00:06:39 A highly competitive market is forcing local brewers to hire sales representatives. The advantage of signing a contract with a distributor, like Hensley, is they already have sales representatives ready to advocate for your brewery. What percentage does the distributor want if you have your own sale reps? 00:08:17 Chris provides a simplified version of a real case study, showcasing how it can change depending on the situation, state and market. Where does the biggest sale volume comes from, direct selling or restaurant? 00:11:00 Contrary to most of Arizona packaging breweries, who focus on selling through bars and restaurants, Ten55 generates most of their revenue from on-premise selling. Chris explains how the in person interaction is better in terms of profitability and branding perspective. How do you compete with big brands? 00:14:36 The real competition for him was with other local breweries as the craft beer trend has drastically risen. 00:17:30 Craft beer has a “local face”, helping consumers to relate to the brewery and the people who work for and created it. What is the long term goal of a microbrewery? Do you want to scale up? 00:23:25 Chris doesn't believe in fighting for shelf space. Following the path of Karl Strauss and Gordon Biersch, the business model for Ten55 is to sell directly to consumers by increasing their locations. This model also provides better control and higher margins. What was your experience opening a new restaurant? 00:29:22 Restaurants are extremely more capital intensive than brewing facilities. Once the foundation is set, restaurants differ from breweries in allowing for juicy investment returns and increased creativity. Chris also adds how Ten55 took advantage of a new state law, creating a lot of media attention and motivated investors, as well. 00:36:43 The first phase is to direct the best customer experience. Then, build a system that allows for easy replications. What advice do you have for the Lean Commerce audience? 00:38:29 Figure out how distribution systems work and be cautious of placing them as your end goal. Sometimes smaller, is better. In this case, it has been the reason for Ten55's success.

In what seems to be a rising trend of Gastropub/Brewery hybridization, San Diego’s Karl Strauss Brewing Company claims to be the first on the southland’s scene in 1989, making lofty statements such as “...{we} became home to more breweries, many of whom got their start {here}”. Steve, Joey, and our guest Craig (@wottoartist) head to a the recently remodeled Costa Mesa location to sample new school experiments like Boat Shoes New England IPA, Fergs Red IPA, Padre Porter, and 29th Anniversary Ale; as well as some classics like Wreck Alley Imperial Stout, Red Trolley (and it’s Red Wine Barrel Aged variant), and Pintail Pale Ale. They savored some apps and entrees as well, and pondered whether Karl Strauss’ claims of shepherding in the highly influential world of San Diego microbrews hold water, or if they leave us thirsty for something a bit more satisfying.

We record outside the studio with a special guest representing Karl Strauss Brewing Company, and we talk about how Wi-Fi is more addicting than sex, chocolate and alcohol, and go over a few great comic book drinking buddies. https://www.karlstrauss.com For comments and questions, email us at: fanmail@aelpodcast.com To show support, go to: http://www.patreon.com/AELpodcast Visit our website at: http://www.AELpodcast.com
