Update 11/10/10
West Coaster spoke with Greg Koch, CEO & Co-Founder of Stone Brewing Co. last night at TapHunter’s SD Beer Week Tweetup about the application. Koch reminded us that the ABC will undoubtedly receive letters of protest in regards to another alcohol establishment opening in the area, and that the application in no way means everything is set in stone. If you are from South Park or, well, anywhere south of Escondido, your letters (or emails to ) of support to the ABC will help make sure the plans go through. Send letters to: ABC Southern District Office, 1350 Front St. Room 5056, San Diego CA 92101.
In more breaking news, Hammett has confirmed that there will be a small pilot brewing system on site, which speculatively means even more brewing experiments from the San Diego giants.
Reporting by West Coaster / SD Beer Blog writer Jeff Hammett confirms that Stone Brewing Co. has posted their ABC application on 2215 30th Street in South Park. This will further solidify 30th Street’s already legendary craft beer pedigree, as well as bring traffic to the businesses of the gentrifying neighborhood of South Park.
