Hops Without Borders: Craft Beer Con 2024 Unites SD and Baja

San Diego Brewers Guild will host the 2024 Craft Beer Con at Mira Costa College’s San Elijo campus in Cardiff. The annual half-day conference that discusses trends in the local craft beer industry is open to the general public.

The theme for this year’s conference is “The Heart of the Community,” celebrating the internal communities that give life to craft beer for San Diego and beyond.

Bridging Borders: Connecting Baja Brewers With San Diego

Highlighting the discussion topics is “Bridging Borders: Connecting Baja Brewers with San Diego,” featuring representatives from the Tijuana breweries Farland Aleworks and Insurgente.

Craft Beer Con

The conference begins at 11 AM and includes three education tracks, a trade show, and beer tastings.

“This year’s conference is especially exciting because some of our friends from Mexico will be joining us,” said Brewers Guild Executive Director Erik Fowler.

“Many of the topics are a little nuanced for brewers and brewery owners, but we welcome anyone who might want to learn a little more about the industry, including about breweries just across the border. Several of their business principles apply to any business, of course.”
