Most people didn\u2019t even know that <a href=\"http:\/\/www.quantumbrewingsd.com\"><strong>Quantum Brewing<\/strong><\/a> <em>(5375 Kearny Villa Road, #116, Kearny Mesa)<\/em> was for-sale last year, but then-homebrewer <strong>Martin Beaulieu<\/strong> took notice and acquired the business in August. Since then, he\u2019s kept a low-profile while working on improving a handful of holdover brands from the old Quantum while adding new staples of his own devising. Beer-quality is up from the original operation, as is the state of the tasting room, which now sports two large high-definition TVs, more comfortable seating options and an assortment of games.<\/p>\n<p>It took a while for Beaulieu to get to the point where he was ready for an official coming-out party for Quantum 2.0, but that time is nigh. Starting on <strong>March 15<\/strong>\u2014Beaulieu\u2019s birthday\u2014the business will hold an eight-day stretch of events and promotions to celebrate Quantum\u2019s official \u201cre-opening\u201d. The schedule is as follows\u2026<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Wed., March 15 | Brewer\u2019s Birthday Special: <\/strong>Pale\u2019s Constant Pale Ale will be $3 per pint<\/li>\n<li><strong>Thu., March 16 | Giant Game Night: <\/strong>Jenga and Connect Four tournament with prizes<\/li>\n<li><strong>Fri., March 17 | St. Patrick\u2019s Day: <\/strong>Special green beer and wearing shamrocks get first pint for $3<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sat., March 18 | March Madness: <\/strong>NCAA on TV and wearing college-gear gets first pint for $3<\/li>\n<li><strong>Sun., March 19 | Growler-Fill Special: <\/strong>$9.99 for 64-ounce growler fills beginning at noon<\/li>\n<li><strong>Mon., March 20 | Cheese &amp; Food Pairing: <\/strong><a href=\"http:\/\/lebistrodelouisasandiego.com\/\"><strong>Le Bistro de Louisa<\/strong><\/a>\u00a0chef will lead 6 p.m. pairing<\/li>\n<li><strong>Tue., March 21 | Trivia Night: <\/strong>A tournament with\u00a0prizes for top performers starts at 7 p.m.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Wed., March 22 | Cask Tapping: <\/strong>A first-ever cask of Pale\u2019s Constant will be tapped at 6 p.m.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>There are numerous improvements, but not everything has changed at Quantum. Beaulieu kept some of the best features, most notable of all, a chalkboard running along the east wall that\u2019s prime for tagging. He liked that as well as the business\u2019 science-theme, having made the shift to brewery-owner after spending 20 years in the biotech industry. His plan is to keep brewing and eventually expand the business by taking over the storefront just south of his. That would allow him to double Quantum\u2019s capacity by installing a larger brewhouse in the new space, while expand the existing tasting room. If all goes as planned, the expansion would take place next year.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a brewery sells, it\u2019s usually big news\u2014especially when it\u2019s for a billion dollars\u2014but when a nanobrewery sells, it\u2019s a pretty quiet affair.
