As a respected cornerstone of San Diego’s now nationally recognized beer movement, East Village’s Neighborhood eatery and beer bar is taking it to the streets to host one of the most highly curated beer gardens the city has ever seen while raising funds for a local creative nonprofit. The party will serve as a thank you to the people who have supported them throughout the years, but most importantly, to acknowledge the progress our local beer, social, and culinary culture has made over half-decade since opening.
On October 20th, Neighborhood eatery ( will throw a huge charity-driven street fest to commemorate their five year anniversary and to acknowledge the progress of our culinary and craft beer communities. The event will feature a beer garden with custom anniversary blends from the “five godfathers” of SD brewing: Stone Brewing Co., Ballast Point, Port/Lost Abbey, Green Flash and AleSmith. If that isn't enough, a handful of the nation’s brewing pioneers including Allagash, Russian River, Dogfish Head and Avery will also be in town to pour a few of their rare specialty batches.
"It's been incredible to see the progress our culture has made throughout the past five years," says owner, Arsalun Tafazoli. “When we opened shop in 2006, hardly anyone was interested in local craft beer – we nearly went out of business due to the lack of patronage. I never dreamed that we’d get this far, and it’s remarkable to see San Diego now leading the way in the national beer movement.”
This exciting event will he held on Saturday, October 20th, from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m. A $10 entrance fee buys you 4 half-pint tastings (that’s a monster of a pour!), and includes a commemorative five-year anniversary stein. Tickets are currently available for pre-order online at http://neighborhoodsd.brownpapertickets.com/.Neighborhood is located at 777 G Street in East Village San Diego (on 8th Ave. between Market & G St.).
