\"obriens\"In order to celebrate 19 years since the opening of\u00a0O’Brien’s Pub<\/a>, and 10 years of Tom and Lindsey Nickel owning it, local breweries Societe<\/a> and Alpine<\/a> have both crafted special anniversary beers that will debut at the Kearny Mesa bar\/restaurant this week.<\/p>\n

“I wanted each brewery to make a beer that was outside of the existing line up each had,” said Tom Nickel in one of his typically jam-packed newsletters<\/a>. “Societe makes great beers, but nothing under 6%, so they are brewing 10\/19 O’Brien’s Anniversary Ale, a sessionable hoppy ale made with 100% Chinook hops. And Alpine makes amazing IPAs, but nothing in the tweener range of IPA and Double IPA between 7 and 8%. So Shawn has made 19\/10 O’Brien’s Anniversary Ale, a 7.4% strong IPA that is 100% hopped with Columbus.”<\/p>\n

Societe’s creation goes on tap Tuesday the 15th no later than 5 p.m. Alpine’s ale comes out Friday the 18th at lunch. Nickel believes there’s enough of each beer to last through the second half of the month. West Coast BBQ & Brew<\/a> in La Mesa, which celebrates its one-year anniversary in February, will also see several O’Brien’s anniversary kegs grace its taps.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, O’Brien’s celebrates Russian River ‘TION’ Weekend starting on Friday, with 15-20 full-size kegs expected from the popular Northern California brewery.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
