Great American Beer Winners

WoooHooo!!! Our small town of Temecula California now has a winner of a brewer. Congratulations to Black Market Brewing Company for their GOLD winning Rye Beer (out of 32 I may add). There were quite a few winners from Southern California - a lot from 3 locations of Pizza Port (San Clemente, Carlsbad and Ocean Beach). Also included were Stone Brewery, Karl Strauss, Taps, Port Brewing (San Marcos), and Eagle Rock (LA). I'm so proud of our SoCal showing at the festival and if I couldn't be there in person, at the very least I can visit these breweries and taste their award winning beers. How many people can say that?

Brewery in Temecula

Well, real estate sales went down and craft brew sales went up so it appears that this Temecula Entrepreneur switched gears at exactly the right time. I love that owner and brewer Andrew Marshall is doing something he truly loves with a business plan that looks like it will survive the tides. Enjoy the video below and then go to the Press Enterprise for the full story. Hopefully permits will be allowed soon to be able to purchase the beer directly from the brewery.
