Best San Diego Home Brewer:

Nick Corona.

Local homebrewer Nick Corona was named 2016’s National Homebrewer of the Year at the American Homebrewers Association’s conference, and we featured him on the cover of West Coaster magazine’s July 2016 issue. One of Corona’s best pieces of advice for homebrewers: “Do your research, plan ahead, never be in a rush, and enter competitions if you want to improve.” 

At some point he plans to open his own brewery, but he probably won’t be able to use his last name too prominently. Either way, we can’t wait to try the beer!
