S.D. Beer Week Cray Cray 18 events, each more stupefyingly splendiferous than the last Beer Week. That special time of year when the San Diego beer scene becomes fully engorged with rad beer and endless events.



Soooooooooooo, what is Modern Times doing to appease the Beer Week gods, you ask? Sacrificing supple virgin goats on the altar of Gambrinus? Letting folks guzzle straight from the stainless steel teats of our 1,862 gallon fermenters? Burning our most prized cellar whales in a giant beer geek potlatch?



No. We are participating in 18 different events, each carefully selected to detonate your dome piece. Friday : The Guild Fest VIP dealie, of course.
