The second annual San Diego Beer Week runs November 5-14, and to celebrate, we’re having a special SDTweetup sponsored by our friends at TapHunter.com. Did you know San Diego was voted the top beer town in the U.S by Men’s Journal? Come and find out why as we sample some incredible beer and food pairings created just for us at one of the hottest new places in town, West Coast Tavern.

This will happen smack in the middle of San Diego Beer Week, which features a wide variety of events highlighting San Diego’s vibrant craft beer culture. Last year boasted nearly 300 different events, and this year looks even better!

As always, bring your connected devices to tweet with, bring business cards for giveaways, and use the #sdtweetup hashtag.

Don’t miss November’s SDTweetup with free swag, giveaways, a tweetwall, the best in beer culture, and more. SD Beer Week + SDTweetup = awesome!
