SDtoday will celebrate Drink Up Month in July 2023

We’ll be exploring San Diego’s bountiful beverage scene during the month of July — from tea and coffee, to craft beer and more.

Clink, clink. We’d like to make a toast.

In July, we’ll be raising a glass to Drink Up Month, a celebration of San Diego’s vibrant beverage scene.

Last summer, we served you Drink Up Week and explored local Happy Hour deals, the history of mezcal, the pretty Pink Rose Cafe, super San Diego-themed craft beers, and over-the-top cocktails and mocktails.

This year, we’re feeling especially thirsty and plan to cover everything from coffee and tea, to smoothies, meaderies, and of course — more craft beer. The best part? You will help us shape our coverage.

Please take this survey to have your say in the Drink Up stories we put together next month. Which coffee shop should we try next? Where can we find the best smoothie in San Diego? Where’s your favorite Happy Hour spot? Tell us everything.

If you’re part of a local brewery, tea shop, bar, coffee shop, or anything in between, we want to hear from you, too. Email us if you’re interested in creating a month-long Drink Up special for SDtoday readers or sharing a locally-inspired recipe.

In the meantime, sip tight. It’ll be July in no time. Cheers, SD.
