Also this week, does Anchor Brewing's closure signal the end of boom times for craft brewing?
The San Diego Festival of Beer will mark its 26th year when it returns Sept. 8, but this year’s party may seem only vaguely familiar.“We are excited to bring people back together for this great cause,” said Kelli Chessman, vendor coordinator for the festival.“We are excited to get back not just to the beer but to the community,” Chessman said, “and to the fundraising.”
To date, ticket sales have funded more than $740,000 in critical assistance to those fighting this lethal disease. The festival has made possible MRI machines in Rady Children’s Hospital’s cancer wing, vans to transport cancer patients to appointments and grants to researchers. Each year, the festival relies on 200 to 300 volunteers, noted San Diego Professionals Against Cancer president Carri Chandler, including 100 people who simply pour beer samples.
There’s still plenty of money being made in this industry, $115.4 billion last year, with crafts share of this ginormous pie growing — independent breweries accounted for $28.4 billion of that amount.
