Interested in brewing-industry trends from 2023 as well as what may be coming down the pipe for local breweries in 2024, KPBS Roundtable host Matt Hoffman invited San Diego Beer News founder Brandon Hernández on the program to discuss both. Listen to the segment to find out about new breweries that open in the past year as well as closures, hear a personal story near and dear to Hernández’s heart, and receive some recommendations for holiday beers that, though we’re in the first week of January, are still available and will hit the spot all winter through. It’s an interview covering a wide range of topics that’ll get listeners up to speed as they wade into a new year stocked with plenty of local beer.
