Quarterly San Diego Beverage Times launched; covering
the local liquid culture, including coffee.
SAN DIEGO—December 6--Publishers of
successful six-year-old craft beer monthly, West
Coaster magazine, this week launched a new quarterly slick publication
covering Southern California’s liquid culture.
Called
San
Diego Beverage Times, the new quarterly is devoted to telling providing
news and features of the wider beverage community.
SDBT publisher Mike
Shess said the inspiration for the new magazine came from “observing the hard
working folks crafting and serving a vast variety of delicious drinks,
including cider, coffee, juice, kombucha, mead, sake, soda, whiskey (spirits),
wine and waters.”
The
new publication’s editor is Ryan Lamb, who also edits the monthly West Coaster print magazine and also
oversees editorial content on West
Coaster’s web site: www.westcoastersd.com.
Lamb added, “with more than 300 beverage producers in San Diego County
alone, there is no shortage of great tales to be told.”
Lamb
continued, “each issue will be themed with an aspect of the local beverage
scene being covered. In our inaugural edition, for example, local coffee is the
main focus while in our next issue we’ll feature on wine and whiskey news.”
San Diego Beverage
Times
will be operated similar to its beer cousin in that Mike Shess leads the
advertising sales department while Ryan Lamb is editorial director and
editor-in-chief. SDBT has hired former San
Diego Home/Garden Lifestyles
magazine art department staffer Kristin Hardy as Art Director.
Will
SDBT also cover craft beer news?
“Of
course, we will highlight the breaking beer stories and features as beer the
last time we looked is still a liquid,” said Mike Shess. “Obviously, we will not cover craft beer as
in depth as West Coaster and since we
will be quarterly we do not feel we’re competing with each other.”
As
with all new print publications, Editor Ryan Lamb says to contact him via email
regarding articles, photography, features and general news at
sdbevtimes@gmail.com
Mike
Shess is looking for liquid centric businesses to beef up distribution as well
as advertisers: sdbevtimes@gmail.com
San Diego Beverage
Times
is available free at local liquid culture sites, including all of West Coaster’s print version pick up
points.
