Going by the name <strong>SR76 Beerworks<\/strong>, it was owned by the economic development arm of the <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/rincon-nsn.gov\">Rincon Band of Luiseno Indians<\/a><\/strong> and helmed by <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.karlstrauss.com\">Karl Strauss Brewing<\/a><\/strong> veteran, <strong>Brian Scott<\/strong>, who introduced a line of mostly-sessionable, less-aggressive styles which were served at in-casino venues and a separate-yet-onsite tasting room.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Scott\ndeparted earlier this year and, with him, went the SR76 brand. Now, the\nfermentation interest goes by the name <strong>Rincon\nReservation Road Brewery<\/strong> (RRRB) and has new beers to go with its updated\nidentity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The\nweek before last, the <strong>Rincon Economic\nDevelopment Corporation <\/strong>(REDCO), which is responsible for brewery\noperations at RRRB, held a tasting of the revamped beers. That quartet includes\nthe following (notes provided by RRRB):<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><strong>Amber\nAle: <\/strong>The caramel malts lend toasted toffee and caramel\nflavors. It has a toasted aroma with slight fruity and pine-hop bitterness\nbalancing the sweetness.<\/li><li><strong>Hefeweizen:<\/strong>\n55% wheat malt and 45% two-row malt give it a medium mouth feel and a foamy\nhead. Very little to no hop aroma or flavor. Fermented with traditional German Hefeweizen\nyeast, giving it large amounts of fruity banana aroma and flavor with a hint of\nclove.<\/li><li><strong>Blonde\nAle: <\/strong>A dry, medium body with light malty sweetness. Low\nhop bitterness balances well with the slight fruit flavor.<\/li><li><strong>IPA:<\/strong>\nBrewed with two-row, wheat and oats to give a dry, crisp, clean, low malt flavor.\nZappa, CTZ and Chinook hops give a medium hop bitterness of spice and citrus\nwith loads of tropical (mango, passion fruit), citrus and pine aromas.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Like SR76 Beerworks\u2019 beers, RRRB\u2019s portfolio is available within the casino, though the REDCO is exploring outside accounts to distribute to. Currently, the Hefeweizen is available at <strong><a href=\"http:\/\/www.obpizza.com\">Newport Pizza and Ale House<\/a><\/strong> in Ocean Beach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Rincon Reservation Road Brewery is located at <strong>777 South Resort Drive<\/strong> in Valley Center.
