Golden Road To Distribute In South County San Diego & Heal The Bay IPA Coming 4/20

(Los Angeles, CA) – As the final step in their distribution throughout Southern California, Golden Road  Brewing has partnered with L. Knife & Son to round out placements in South County San Diego. L. Knife & Son is known for their commitment to maintaining the finest selection of craft and specialty beers available, and once Golden Road was prepared to continue their distribution through San Diego, their partnership was a natural fit.

Launched in late 2011, Golden Road Brewing has maintained a solid focus on distribution within a close range of their Atwater Brewery, and the added placements throughout South County San Diego will complete their presence in Southern California. Says President Meg Gill, “Our entry into North County was really well received, and we’re now at the point where we feel ready to complete our San Diego distribution. Overall, we’re psyched to get our new beers into South County – our new brewmaster, Jesse Houck, has created a really diverse portfolio of new hoppy beers that we’re excited to share with San Diego. That area really felt like the missing piece of the puzzle, and we’re glad to finally get it going.”

To celebrate, President Meg Gill and Brewmaster Jesse Houck will be at Hamilton’s Tavern (1521 30th St) on Tuesday, April 23rd from 4-7PM tapping seven different Golden Road brews, including Wolf Among Weeds IPA, Golden Road Berliner Weisse and a special cask of Get Up Offa That Brown brewed with coffee. Golden Road Brews will be available at select Ralph’s, Vons, Bristol Farms, Whole Foods Markets, Trader Joe’s and BevMo locations throughout South County, as well as a variety of draft placements.

Golden Road is excited to announce their new collaboration beer with Heal the Bay! LA’s largest craft brewery has been working with the non-profit to create a specialty brew, Heal the Bay IPA, with proceeds benefiting Heal the Bay’s work towards making Southern California’s coastal waters and watersheds, including the Santa Monica Bay, safe, healthy and clean.

Says President Meg Gill, “I surf most weekends in Santa Monica, and I fell in love with Heal the Bay when I saw the work they were doing to protect the shoreline after a storm. Heal the Bay’s work is an integral part of keeping our beaches clean and safe, and we’re excited to collaborate on a project that will benefit their cause.”

Heal the Bay IPA will be premiering on draft on Saturday, April 20th, at the BlueGreen Earth Day Party on the Santa Monica Pier. Guests can purchase a sustainable Golden Road mug for $10, and receive vouchers for pours of any Golden Road Beer at Rusty’s Surf Ranch, Big Dean’s Ocean Front Cafe, and Santa Monica Pier Seafood from 12-5PM. Arrive early for a beach cleanup from 10AM-noon, followed by a Green Market swap and sustainable goods expo.

Adds co-founder Tony Yanow, “Golden Road is located right by the LA River, where much of Heal the Bay’s education efforts are focused, so we understand how important it is to help keep inland and coastal waterways clean. Heal the Bay is the perfect partner for us as we all work together to preserve the natural beauty and resources of California.”

Heal the Bay IPA is bright, citrus-forward, summertime drinking IPA, with Citra, Centennial, and New Zealand hop varieties. Look out for Heal the Bay IPA in 16 oz. cans starting in mid-June at Whole Foods Markets and other select retailers.
