\"logo_groundswell\"<\/a>It\u2019s been more than six months since Twisted Manzanita Ales & Spirits <\/strong>shut down its Santee base of brewing operations and pulled out of its satellite tasting room in Pacific Beach. Though ownership there implied the business would be back in some form\u2014and it still may\u2014that will not happen at its former headquarters. That facility\u2014both the brewery and distillery components\u2014have been purchased by another San Diego brewery\u2026and it\u2019s not one that most would have expected. Today, Grantville-based Groundswell Brewing Company<\/strong><\/a> announced its acquisition of the former Twisted Manzanita facility at 10151 Prospect Avenue<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Founded in 2013 and having called a space at 6304 Riverdale Street<\/strong> in the Grantville neighborhood home over its lifespan, Groundswell will move its brewing operations to Santee upon receiving licensing approval. In doing so, the company will transition from its current three-and-a-half-barrel system to Twisted Manzanita\u2019s 30-barrel brewery. Operation of this new-used asset will be the charge of brewmaster Callaway Ryan<\/strong>, who has been with the company since March of this year after stints at Stone Brewing <\/strong><\/a>and the defunct URBN St. Brewery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

This acquisition also brings with it Twisted Manzanita\u2019s distilling equipment, which includes a combination alembic continuous still. Groundswell owner Kevin Rhodes <\/strong>says the company intends to begin distilling within the next 12 months, and says the business, which is approaching 1,000 barrels produced in 2016, anticipates growing to 2,500-3,000 barrels of beer per year courtesy of this acquisition.<\/p>\n

Groundswell will hold on to its Grantville space, converting it to a satellite tasting-room. Meanwhile, back in Santee, Twisted Manzanita\u2019s former tasting-room will be wiped clean and renovated to fit its new owner\u2019s identity and aesthetic, which to-date can best be described as kickback and comfortable.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
