    Hey Guys,

    Recently moved to Oceanside and wanted to know what events I should hit this time around. I attended last year and did Speedway Grand Prix, but that was about it.

    So far I don't see all of the events posted on their website: https://www.sdbw.org/schedule

    Cheers!

    They will update in due time. There are over 100 events during SDBW so it's hard to pick and choose. I'll be curious to see what events Bagby Beer has.

    Yeah you’ll have to wait a bit – most places really don’t have a handle on their schedule until like a week before (sometimes even a few days before).

    OP- I'm in Oceanside as well. This town is gone up several notches in beerdome since I moved here 2 years ago!

    Has anyone heard whether AleSmith is doing a Speedway event this year? I checked sdbw.org and AleSmith newsletters but didn't turn up anything.

    Neighborhood is having bourbon barrel Speedway at their alesmith event during the week. Went there for lunch the day after I got here and really liked the joint

    Yes we are! Details should be out shortly, it will be November 12, 13, 14th. We're required to pay to post events to the SDBW.org calendar this year so we most likely won't post any of our events on the SDBW website.

    Cheers

    Please let it be like the O'Brien's event where I just get a slew of different variants. They were glorious.

    It'll be the same format as last year, multiple "laps" available. We've been hard at work on a wide range of variations for the three day extravaganza. As per last year, each day will be the same as we try to make the Speedway variants available to as many people as possible.

    That's exactly what it was last year, except at the brewery so it was far less of a shitshow than the O'Briens event.

    Pay to post events on SDBW site, talk about a bummer. Sounds like someone might want to start a google spread sheet of events. If only there was someone in SD..................

    Really? When I went in the tasting room wasn't particularly crowded, sure there were people there but I didn't have any trouble grabbing a spot to sit and take my time going through the tasters. Maybe it got far more crowded later but compared to how crowded O'Briens gets, I thought it was far more relaxed.
