Now until February 27, fans can help determine winners of this year’s SDBNAs, taking place at Harland Brewing in Scripps Ranch on March 31
Local beer fans have done all the heavy-lifting, nominating their favorite breweries, ales and lagers in 25 different categories, so we may present to you the official ballot for the 2026 San Diego Beer News Awards. Now all we need is for everyone to click the link below and cast their votes to help determine this year’s winners!
Voting will be open now through 11:59 p.m. (PT) on Friday, February 27, 2026
Winners will be announced at the 2026 San Diego Beer News Awards Ceremony, which will take place from 5 to 9 p.m. on Tuesday, March 31 at Harland Brewing’s headquarters in Scripps Ranch. As has become tradition for this – the biggest night of the year for San Diego’s brewing industry and craft-beer community – the event will follow a traditional awards-show format, with owners, brewers and staff from the county’s breweries taking the stage along with other special guests to announce the top vote-getters in each category and present winners with medals, plaques and trophies.
Not only is it a ton of fun…it’s free! You definitely won’t want to miss it, especially if you’re in the industry. In addition to the chance to be honored among your peers, you can also interact with some of our sponsors at the third-annual San Diego Beer News Awards Vendor Expo, which will begin at 5 p.m. and run until the start of the ceremony at 7 p.m.
We look forward to seeing you at the event, but for now we need you to VOTE!
