Made in San Diego display ombre sunset background for block party on March 30

Cheers, San Diego: Made in SD block party is coming to town

Feb 21, 2019 - Sarah Lubeck

Last year, EDC – the organization behind SD:Life.Changing. – collaborated with Ballast Point to launch a Made in San Diego beer. The premise was simple. Ballast Point, a fan favorite brewery that started right here in San Diego, wanted to give back to the region that had given it so much. So they collaborated with SD: Life. Changing. to create a Made in SD beer that was for San Diego, and by San Diego. And because it wouldn’t be San Diego without a ‘life-changing’ tie in, Ballast Point has been donating a portion of the proceeds to the San Diego Entrepreneurship Fund.

Now, the brewery is taking it one step further and hosting its Made in San Diego Block Party to celebrate its San Diego roots. The festival, taking place at the corner of India St and W Ivy St in Little Italy on March 30, promotes beer, music, art, food, and products made in San Diego. Admission is free (entry based on capacity).

  • Belching Beaver

  • Eppig Brewing
  • FALL Brewing Co.

And of course, the special brew is only available in San Diego County.  So future San Diegans, you can add this beer to the growing list of reasons to call San Diego home.
