A new series documenting San Diego\u2019s microbrew industry will debut Thursday, May 21 on KPBS. “Kings of the Craft” will introduce audiences to the unique people and businesses of the San Diego craft beer scene. The six-part series was selected as part of the Thursday night KPBS Explore Project, designed to grow the station\u2019s line-up of local program favorites.
\nProduced by four graduates from San Diego State University\u2019s School of Theatre, Television and Film, the show gives viewers an inside look at some of San Diego\u2019s thriving breweries and the people behind them. With more than 100 local craft beer establishments in San Diego County, the show reveals how ordinary people are revolutionizing the beer industry and culture. Among the breweries featured are Stone Brewing Co., Ballast Point and Coronado Brewery; but some of the smaller breweries in San Diego are also featured. The show’s pilot, titled “Of Beaches & Beer,” which aired in 2014, won two Emmy Awards in the student programming category. The series builds on the pilot\u2019s success showcasing the “brew” kings’ passion for their craft.
\nThe KPBS Explore project, now in its fourth year, identifies new content to expand the station\u2019s local programming through a submission process. Programs are rated on a number of criteria, including how San Diego\u2019s sense of place is reflected.
