Back in 1996 Scott had his first encounter in a pub with a man who had just opened a small brewery in town. Two years later, in a different pub he met him again. The conversation eventually led to the subject of printing, Scott’s vocation. The question was simple, Who does your printing? The response was more simple, What, in trade for beer? After agreeing to accept the job not knowing how he was actually going to get it printed, he had one person in mind to recruit for the task. With only two years in the printing business under his belt, Scott had slowly been building a friendship with a co-worker over common interests of music and beer. It didn’t take much to convince Marc, whose been printing commercially since 1985, to print in trade for beer. As time went on more calls came in from other small breweries in town, and before too long Scott and Marc were printing nearly every weekend for beer. Several years later, they decided to go legit, and S&M Printing was born.

Even though they became a “company” on 03.03.03 they have been involved in the brewing industry since those weekends printing for a keg. With Marc in Oregon, and Scott sitting tight in San Diego where it all began, S&M are proud members of the San Diego Brewers Guild, and are continuosly involved in the local brewing scene, as well as bringing a higher level of service to our clients in the pacific northwest.

S&M has evolved with it’s core clientele, and have become a full service, one stop shop for any business that needs any printing service available. Just remember, no matter what you think, we’re still just Scott and Marc.
