Craft conversation, San Diego Style
High Octane Growler began in 2012 as an extension of the original Stone Beer segment, which Tommy and his colleagues developed with the Stone Brewing Co. in 2007 during the Hansen and Tommy morning show on FM 94/9 in San Diego.
The segment quickly became the talk of San Diego's craft beer community, and was one of the first couplings of craft beer and conversational radio. The segment was later reintroduced as the Rock and Roll Happy Hour when Tommy moved to afternoons. In the years since, Tommy has worked with Surfrider, Oregon Wild, ReWild Mission Bay, San Diego Audubon, was the founding president of San Diego County Democrats for Environmental Action, ran for San Diego City Council, served as a San Diego County Planning Commissioner, and hosted mornings again — this time at 91X, where he and Producer Danielle relaunched the Beer for Breakfast segment with the classic San Diego craft brewer Karl Strauss Brewing Co. The rebooted incarnation of High Octane Growler will shift toward the kind of political conversation no longer available on broadcast outlets, but the classic High Octane Growler takes on music, culture, and current events will remain a staple, with a top-shelf assortment of guests and personalities. High Octane Growler is currently on hiatus, but check back for news as a reboot approaches. Thanks for visiting us! More on host Tommy Hough at tommyhough.com. |
