For craft brewers, securing distribution is a huge deal. And not easy to do. But now Rough Draft Brewing Co. will have a better chance of ending up in your mouth. The Miramar-based craft brewery recently signed a deal with San Marcos’ Markstein to distribute their beers across North County. Since opening their 4,500-square-foot brewhouse and tasting room last March, Rough Draft has grown from three to 11 beers, available in 80 locations throughout the county. For their anniversary, Rough Draft will host a two-day event, March 8-9. Friday’s get together is open to the public from 3PM-9PM but you will need tickets for Saturday. Two sessions are available from 12PM-3PM and 4PM-7PM, with tickets an affordable $20. Attendees will get a taste of their newest release, Southern Triangle (an IPA made with three different hops from the southern Hemisphere), a refill of your choosing and a “mini-Sweiner” (a Swiss-style hotdog) from Sweiners food truck. You get to keep the glass, too.
