The local organizing committee worked with San Diego-area breweries to brew up the 2011 AHA National Homebrewers Conference commemorative beers, as a special gift for conference attendees. The commemorative brews will include:

A special collaboration Dark Session Ale between San Diego Brewing Co. and AleSmith Brewing Co.

Stone Brewing Co. has bottled a dry-hopped Black Double IPA—The SoCal Hop Salute

Port Brewing Company brewed La Cruda Porter as a tribute to Cervecerias La Cruda, one of the original San Diego brewpubs. The recipe is based on La Cruda’s Great American Beer Festival gold medal-winning beer from 1996.
