Welcome to the vote down of The 2nd Annual Sore Eye Cup, an award for the best regularly produced craft beer in San Diego! Last year was a resounding success, Speedway Stout from the mighty Alesmith dominated the competition with an average score of 47 out of 50 and is the only beer not eligible for this year’s award. We will honor the winning craft beer with an actual cup (over 64oz capacity) they can lord over all other breweries in town, drink their amazing suds out of, smash in total victory, or all the above!

Let’s get to it! Below is a list of the 51 nominated San Diego craft beers. You can vote for up to 3 beers, once per day. Don’t see your favorite beer on the list? It’s not too late, simply email me and nominate your favorite, regularly produced, suds. Voting will run for one month establishing our ten finalist beers that will be judged by our panel and awarded the Sore Eye Cup!
