CBC WEEK IS OVER AND IN THE AFTERMATH CAME….

rafts Brewers Conference descended on

San Diego last week and I never thought Id say this but Im glad it’s over. I don’t think my liver could have taken any more abuse. It was and absolute honor and privilege to have had so many wonderful brewers not only at

Hamilton’s but at all the great beer destinations.  We made new friends and hooked up with old ones. Big Daddy Dave Keene was down and I stopped by the new Toronado which is probably a month from opening. It was a blast but more importantly everyone was here for the beer cup and guess what:
