Our September 2014 issue is out around town and available online! Check it out by clicking here.<\/a><\/p>\n

Busy Times @ Twisted Manzanita
\n<\/b>In addition to putting the finishing touches on their Pacific Beach tasting room, the Twisted Manzanita team is also working on variations of their Witch\u2019s Hair Pumpkin Ale, brewed in August. At time of print, the brew crew was looking to create more than 10 variations on the seasonal beer, buoyed by the fact that they\u2019ll now have two tasting rooms at which to empty kegs. Be on the lookout especially for nitro versions, which the brewery is looking to do more of all around.<\/p>\n

New Breweries in August
\n<\/b>Several new breweries began brewing in August. Now operational Ballast Point\u2019s new Miramar expansion, Beer Brewing Co. in Oceanside, Bagby Beer Company and Bolt Brewery. None of those breweries are open to the public yet, save for Bagby – which is in soft opening mode with beers on tap.\u00a0The total count of operational breweries as of late August is 93.<\/p>\n

In addition, West Coaster <\/i>is tracking 42 breweries that are planning on opening in San Diego County. Knox Corners in El Cajon, Belching Beaver\u2019s brewpub in Vista, Bay City Brewing in Loma Portal, Green Flash\u2019s Poway expansion, Jamul Town Brewery & Tap and 32 North Brewing Co. in Miramar all popped up on our radar in August. Check out westcoastersd.com\/sd-brewing-industry-watch<\/a> for info on current and up-and-coming breweries.<\/p>\n

Barrel Republic Expands
\n<\/b>Pacific Beach\u2019s pour-it-yourself beer bar Barrel Republic is expanding to two new locations in Oceanside and Carlsbad. Carlsbad\u2019s Barrel Republic will have 52 taps and a kitchen headed by former Churchill\u2019s chef A.G. Warfield and is slated to open by San Diego Beer Week 2014. The Oceanside location is still TBD.<\/p>\n

Oktoberfests<\/b>
\n<\/b>If you can\u2019t make it to Munich, there are plenty local Oktoberfest celebrations in San Diego.<\/p>\n

Fathom Bistro\u2019s 2nd annual Octo-Bier-Fest is Friday September 26th and starts at 3PM. The Smokehouse Kings, an offshoot chef collaboration from Carnitas Snack Shack, will have their huge smoker on the pier cooking up sausages. The bar will serve 8 German & German-style beers on tap along with a glass giveaway.<\/p>\n

Beer drinkers looking for authenticity should seek the German American Society of San Diego\u2019s Oktoberfest which takes place September 26-28 & October 3-5 in El Cajon. Enjoy bratwurst, ox-on-the-spit, sauerkraut and, of course, German beer. More info: germanclubsandiego.org\/events\/oktoberfest<\/a><\/p>\n

Perhaps the most SoCal Oktoberfest, Ocean Beach\u2019s 10th annual celebration will be October 12 & 13. Gaze into the Pacific through the bottom of your glass, hear tribute bands jam in the Beer Garden Band Slam and cheer on the winner of the Ms Oktoberfest Bikini Contest. Pizza Port Ocean Beach will be serving beer, too. Buses depart to OB from Pacific Beach & Downtown. More info: oboktoberfest.com<\/a><\/p>\n

New this year: South Park\u2019s version of Oktoberfest will take place on October 11th from 11 a.m. – 10 p.m. Dubbed Parktoberfest, the event will be held in the Gala Foods Parking. There will be a beer tent featuring 10 local breweries, a kid\u2019s carnival, live music and more. Search Facebook for Parktoberfest to get more info.<\/a><\/p>\n

There\u2019s also Oktoberfests in La Mesa, Carlsbad, Julian, Ramona and Encinitas. Visit sandiego.org\/campaigns\/fall-in-san-diego\/oktoberfests.aspx<\/a> for a listing.<\/p>\n

More Drafts in OB<\/b>
\nWith the recent openings of OB Warehouse with 24 taps and Bar 1502 with 40 taps, there\u2019s now even more good beer flowing in the eclectic seaside neighborhood. The two new locations strengthen the existing beer circuit present with Raglan Public House, OB Kebab, Newport Pizza, OB Noodle House, The Joint, Olive Tree Market\u2019s tasting room, Wonderland and Pizza Port OB.<\/p>\n
