Get ready for the most exciting event of the summer…the Thorn Tribe Challenge! The Thorn Tribe Challenge is a 2-month long challenge where people complete any number of hilarious beer-related tasks and compete to win rad prizes! In previous years, this has been an internal competition with our staff but this year we thought we would change it up and let you join in on the fun. For the next two months, you can play along and compete for exciting prizes too!
The challenge not only brought our staff together and created a great sense of team unity but it also pushed us to get out and about in San Diego and take advantage of all the cool things in and around our city. Take a look at some of the previous tasks we had to complete…
