Count the San Diego
County Water Authority (SDCWA) among the many factions that recognize the
significant, positive impact that the local brewing industry has on the county.
Enough that the governmental organization has declared February as San Diego
Brewing Month in an effort to spotlight local brewing companies and coffee
roasters, both of which benefit—as do their end customers—from having clean,
healthy and reliable water resources.

Brewing
Month is part of the SDCWA’s larger Brought to You by Water outreach and
education program, which was designed to convey the importance viable water
supplies play for the county’s 3.3 million residents and its $220 billion
economy. Over the past year, the SDCWA has highlighted various other local
industries, including tourism and manufacturing.
“This
is an exciting opportunity to showcase local craft beer and coffee roasters
that share one common core ingredient—water,” says SDCWA Board chair Jim
Madaffer. “San Diego’s celebrated craft beers and its growing coffee industry
together provide thousands of jobs and help define this place we call home.”
As
part of Brewing Month, the SDCWA is conducting a social-media contest. To
participate, San Diegans are being asked to post photos of their favorite local
beers or coffee using the #B2UbyH2O hashtag on Twitter and Instagram. Winners
will receive items donated by local companies as well as bags of a special
blend of kosher, fair-trade, organic coffee dubbed Authority 1944 Blend
produced by Barrio Logan’s Cafe Moto. Winners will be drawn randomly each week
from posts that meet contest rules.
