Hi Brewers and Beer Biz Friends
I’m happy to share that many San Diegans will now be reading about our Las Vegas brewing scene. Brandon Hernandez, Publisher of the San Diego Brewing News and the This Week in San Diego Beer newsletter, is now running my monthly Las Vegas Brewing News column in his online outlet. My column will still be running in ADCook.com each month, so this is an additional outlet where readers can find it. This initial posting is a bit late in the month, but we should expect my monthly submissions to post closer to the beginning of the month going forward.

Brandon and his San Diego Brewing News is an award-winning journalist and author who has covered the San Diego brewing industry for 18 years and written a pair of guides to San Diego County’s breweries. He also covered San Diego for Celebrator Beer News, and he and I first met when we attended Sierra Nevada Beer Camp and hit it off immediately. Brandon has an extremely impressive resume, which can be perused here.

Also, it’s also now heading towards the end of the month, so I’m working on finishing up my February column, so hit me up with anything you’d like me to mention, even if it’s a seasonal beer you’ll be pouring next month.
Best regards, Bob Barnes
