The 3-Year Search for the Best Damn Tequila with Bebemos 

Happy Half Hour toasts with the brand’s co-founder Preston Caffrey at Solana Beach's Ranch 45
Co-founder of new San Diego Tequila brand Bebemos Preston Caffrey on San Diego Magazine's Happy Half Hour Podcast

In this episode of Happy Half Hour, co-hosts Troy Johnson and Jackie Bryant meet up with Preston Caffrey—founder of the new tequila brand, Bebemos—to launch its “Joven Golden Hour” tour in partnership with San Diego Magazine.

The series features pairings between local restaurants and Caffrey’s clean, additive-free tequila made in collaboration with small-batch agave growers in Mexico

Recorded at Ranch 45 with chef DuVal Warner, the group dives into Brandt Beef bone marrow luges, beef tallow–washed cocktails, and one of the best pastrami sandwiches in the city, while unpacking what makes Bebemos different and why Caffrey insists on starting small right here in San Diego.
