April 7th was the 2nd Annual SPY Belgian Waffle Ride (SPY BWR) which began and ended at the SPY HQ off of Palomar Airport Road. 350 (insane) Riders suffered through 209 Kilometers (130 miles) of various terrain leading through Fallbrook and Bonsall to Escondido and Lake Hodges, venturing back to the promised land of Carlsbad.
Our one-and-only Lost Abbey “Team Rider” Karl Bordine, finished this year’s trek in 3rd Place as well as The Sprint Award for fastest times on the sprint segments.
A great day overall, especially when it ended with a well-deserved Lost Abbey beer after a long ride.
What are the career opportunities in San Diego’s burgeoning brewing industry? Job seekers will learn the answers from a panel of experts who will converse about why San Diego has become such a nationally renowned region for craft beer production and where the professional brewing industry is headed. The panel discussion is being captured for broadcast by UCTV Career Channel as part of the opening of the San Diego History Center exhibition Bottled & Kegged: San Diego’s Craft Brew Culture, which explores the ebb and flow of beer production in the San Diego region. The exhibit features many hands-on interactive elements that help explain: the brewing process, how San Diego County brewers achieve such expansive flavor profiles, and the science behind matching beers with food.

Unfortunately, try as we might, we were not successful in our attempt to purchase advertisement space during this year’s Super Bowl. We quickly learned that another brewery had already capitalized on the available ad space for brewers, plus it was really really expensive. So, we decided to post here instead for everyone to enjoy.
