We sat down with Noah from Burgeon Beer Company to break down what’s really going on in the San Diego beer scene right now. From starting his career at Stone Brewing to helping grow Burgeon Beer Company, he’s seen the shifts firsthand.We get into how the industry has changed over the past few years - from bottles to cans, the rise of hazy IPAs, and how breweries are adapting with things like new hop technology and small-batch R&D. We also talk about what’s actually selling right now, including local favorites like Juice Press and Carlsbad Crush, plus what it takes to win at the highest level (World Beer Cup gold).On top of that, we break down the bigger picture - brewery buyouts, closures, the impact of the pandemic, and where San Diego beer is headed next.
