It should be pretty obvious that I love local music, but what makes local music even better? When it's accompanied by unlimited craft beer and food tastings. What's even better than that? When music and beer are consumed in the name of charity. Today you can head to the Handlery Hotel & Resort in Mission Valley for their second annual Suds for Surgery, an event benefitting Fresh Start Surgical Gifts, which provides free reconstructive surgeries to children who were born with facial and other deformites. The event is a win-win-win, and with great local talents entertaining the crowd, the day is sure to be a great one.
