\"pureproject_02\"<\/a>On the last weekend of January, Pure Project Brewing<\/a> <\/strong>(9030 Kenamar Drive, #308, Miramar) <\/em>will become the first tenant of H.G. Fenton<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s Brewery Igniter<\/a> <\/strong>program to open for business. What was once a stark white, nondescript, ready-to-use tasting room space just waiting to be given personality is now outfitted in stylish reclaimed wood, belly bars fashioned from felled trees and a screen featuring projections of nature-based videos. The first chance to peruse this rather Zen spot will be Saturday, January 30<\/strong> starting at noon<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Upon entering the tasting room, guests\u2019 eyes are sure to dart right to the Pure Project logo composed entirely of three varieties of bulging green fauna with a swirled fluorescent blue water droplet dotting its plant-based insignia. Next up is a beer-board stocked with a dozen different beers\u2014quite the number for a brand-new operation. By opening day, brewmaster Winslow Sawyer<\/strong> plans to have three India pale ales on tap\u2014a single, double and five gallons worth of a Brettanomyces-fermented version. But it\u2019s not all about IPAs here\u2026far from it.<\/p>\n

Many of Pure Project\u2019s beers are infused with tropical ingredients, which is fitting considering the brewery was originally going to be founded in Costa Rica. Examples include a hibiscus saison, ginger-citrus blonde and coconut quadrupel\u2014a bizarre additive for a monastic Belgian-style ale. An orange-vanilla cream ale, session rye pale and K\u00f6lsch will provide a trio of refreshing options. The latter is proudly adjunct in nature and brewed with rice. Light-bodied and refreshing, it flies in the face of most enthusiast\u2019s definition of craft beer, but it\u2019s tasty and should help to transition the uninitiated to more adventurous offerings. A coffee milk stout and Russian imperial porter make up the darker end of the spectrum and though the stout could use more body, it has nice flavor.<\/p>\n

\"pureproject_03\"<\/a>Though they have yet to sell their first beer, ownership is already looking ahead. More than a dozen barrels lay waiting to be filled in the back of the brewery. Sawyer intends to siphon a lambic and Flanders-style red ale into Pinot Noir barrels procured from Napa, and has bourbon whiskey barrels from Coloroado\u2019s Breckenridge Distillery<\/a> <\/strong>ready to house his porter.<\/p>\n

Pure Project\u2019s opening weekend festivities will extend to Sunday, January 31<\/strong>. Following that, the tasting room will be open seven days a week, though that may change once ownership finds the business\u2019 groove.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
