The Brewery Project: Rough Draft

Rough Draft Brewing Co. has only been open since March, but is already making a name for itself in the beer community.  Regular social media updates, weekly (usually daily) food trucks, and hosting various events around town has put this fledgling brewery on San Diego's "beer map".  At 7:30pm on a Thursday evening the place was hopping.  No pun intended.  Actually, the pun was intended.  Anyway, not only was the place filled with people, it was nice to see a diverse crowd as well.  A nice bar area, large bar-height tables, and intimate, cozy seating areas provide large groups, smaller parties, and even those with children a spot to commune over the current selection of brews being offered.  When asked what time they closed, the guy behind the bar (possibly the manager or owner) said that they close at 8:00pm, but would stay open as long as people were there.  I like that philosophy.  Take care of the customer and they'll take care of you!  I sampled 7 different beers, and while there were no huge standouts, they were all very good.  I expect great things to come from this brewery, and am sure they will grow to be a San Diego mainstay.

Rough Draft Brewing Co. update

I posted here about a new brewery opening in San Diego.  The following was posted on their Facebook page today.

"Tickets are now available for our Grand Opening Saturday, March 10th. $20 gets you in, tastes of all our beers, and a 64 ounce growler with one fill of the beer of your choice.  Visit the tickets tab on Facebook, or our website to purchase tickets now."

This seems like a pretty good deal, and a great chance to see what this brewery is all about.  Check out their Facebook page or their website to get tickets.  Let's give them an official San Diego welcome!

Rough Draft Brewing Co.

I'm always keeping an eye out for new breweries coming to town and was just alerted to Rough Draft Brewing Co.  I know nothing about the brewery other than the fact that they are located in the Miramar/Mira Mesa area and are planning to open next month.  Their website looks good, but has no information on it other than their address and phone number.  Their Facebook page is also very cryptic, but does have pictures of their growlers.  I will keep you posted as I lean more about this new addition to the San Diego beer scene, and look forward to its opening.  For me, when it comes to breweries, the more the merrier!
