Thorn Brewing<\/a><\/strong> is almost ready to debut its Mission Hills tasting room to the drinking public. Located in a downstairs, street-facing suite at 4026 Hawk Street<\/strong>, the 1,400-square-foot satellite operation blends a bit of its homey OG North Park and more brand-driven Barrio Logan spots into one entity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe goal was to have it feel like Thorn but be different from both North Park and Barrio Logan,\u201d says Thorn Brewing general manager Tom Kiely<\/strong>. \u201cMission Hills is more like North Park but a blend of what the neighborhood represents.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Multi-toned hardwood floors form a foundation for tables and seating salvaged from an old La Jolla sushi restaurant, plus hi-tops and a 200-square-foot, thoughtfully designed, U-shaped bar. The latter features a designated ordering point directly across from the south entrance complete with a merch display and beer fridge with to-go beer. Kiely says they wanted to make it easy on people to get a beer during busy periods so customers wouldn\u2019t have to wade through droves of people to get a beer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With beer in-hand, guests can sit inside. The interior is equipped with three TV sets and a wallpapered \u201clounge area\u201d along the west wall with a coffee table and three Skee-Ball banks. They may also opt to imbibe al fresco on a 150-square-foot patio area accessible via a roll-up door. It, like all of the tasting room\u2019s doors and windows, is a new installation. Additionally, Thorn has painted the exterior of the building and upgraded a gated entrance off Hawk Street to feature an appealing, decorative metal pattern. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Mission Hills tasting room will be open daily from 12 to 10 p.m.<\/strong> A grand-opening event is scheduled for Friday, July 19<\/strong> (some friends-and-family practice services will precede that in the days prior). That soiree will feature the release of 500-milliliter bottles of Framboise de Tatas, a sour ale with raspberries originally brewed in support of the Keep A Breast Foundation<\/a><\/strong>\u2019s annual Brewbies <\/strong>beer festival. Additionally, neighboring restaurant Fort Oak<\/a><\/strong> will produce a direct-service menu that will provide a quality food option at the new tasting room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
