Fresh off celebrating two years in business in June, Carlsbad’s Culver Beer Company debuted the “Locally Toasted” delicatessen in July.
The Culver team had to secure the go-ahead from the San Diego Health Department, their property manager, and the business park’s board of directors, but the kitchen and deli are now up-and-running during regular tasting room hours. “We plan to open for lunch by the end of the year,” said company president Ben Fairweather.
On the menu are sandwiches — “We use Boar’s Head meat and cheese and their quality really stands out” — shareable plates for groups, and other small bites for snacking. The “Beer Chee” that’s served with pretzel “stix” and yellow mustard utilizes the brewery’s main product: “We change it up from day to day, but we notice our StreetWalker IPA or our Culver Irish Red work really well.”
