Though Guadalupe Brewery<\/a> <\/strong>opened in 2015, due to permitting, the mom-and-pop business in the back of a Carlsbad brewery supply store has never been able to serve beer at its tasting room — just growler fills to-go. After two years of long, hard work by Guadalupe owners Raul and Lisa Deju<\/strong>, they’re opening a satellite tasting room at 631 South Santa Fe Avenue<\/strong> in Vista, and that spot will soft open this Saturday, April 20<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dejus originally sought space for their satellite operation in Carlsbad, but the Vista residents ended up stumbling across their 1930s-era, 1,200-square-foot space. It was hard to miss, having suffered front-end fire damage and in need of some TLC. Where others might have seen construction hassle, they saw opportunity and liked the \u201cbare box\u201d nature of the space. They developed a vision and went to work realizing it, going as far as redoing the building\u2019s foundation. The lengthiness of the project led some to believe there were permitting issues, but it was simply a complicated build-out getting the venue and the aesthetic the way they wanted it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOur theme is Mexican wine country, which is to say mixed\nmaterials with some rustic elements along with some modern accents as well as\nfurniture custom-made in Rosarito,\u201d says Lisa. \u201cWe have salvaged the majority\nof the old hardwood flooring and floor joints, and have used those to create\narchitectural accents, using all the joints to frame our windows and doors. The\nformer flooring has been used in all sorts of places such as counter facing and\nthe front window. We even made or own office door.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Dejus also remodeled the front of the building, installing a 16-foot roll-up window with a deep window sill to facilitate people-watching. The City of Vista is currently beautifying Santa Fe from Main Street to Civic Center Drive, aiming to give it a \u201cmain street\u201d character courtesy of wide sidewalks, green landscaping and a variety of parking options. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Inside, an L-shaped bar gives way to 16 taps serving the company\u2019s beers, including mainstays El Vanillo vanilla-infused cream ale, Choco Stout and Russian House Belgian-style imperial stout.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019re just excited to be able to get our beer out to more people. Having such limited opportunities for people to try our beer meant that, after four years, there are still a lot of beer aficionados in San Diego who\u2019ve never even heard of us,\u201d says Lisa. \u201cWe hope to build on the great feedback we\u2019ve gotten over these years to be more known and able to keep making a wide variety of really good beers.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Guadalupe’s Vista tasting room will be open from 5 to 9 p.m. <\/strong>for its soft opening. From there on, the Dejus will determine their permanent days and hours of operation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
