Thanks for Tap Hunter for the write up.

TapHunter.com’s American Craft Beer Week blogging series continues with an in-depth look at brewer Lee Chase’s efforts to raise the beer bar (part 1 and 2 here).

Artisan pizza pies from Blind Lady Ale House decorate the cover of this month’s San Diego Magazine, the perfect snack to accompany Candace Woo’s Critic’s Pick for ‘Best Craft Beer Selection’ in town. BLAH’s curated selection of craft beers from around the world to those small batches made in-house represent brewer Lee Chase’s dedication to quality, a relevant concern as San Diego breweries and pubs grow in numbers. Curious to find out more on Chase’s quest to raise the beer bar, TapHunter.com asked a few questions exploring BLAH’s involvement with the Honest Pint Project, the quest for clean beer, and an expansion for Automatic Brewing Company debuting this summer.

Bike to Work/Beer Week

We started off Bike to Work Week in typical Automatic style with a 3-wheeled delivery of Insider Belgian Cream Ale to the North Park Festival of Arts. This beer was chosen by FM94/9 Insiders and was brewed specifically for the North Park Festival of Arts. Money raised at the festival from this beer benefits "About the Music Fund" which supports music education in San Diego County public schools.
