The Abnormal Wine Company<\/a> is getting into the craft beer business.<\/p>\n

The small Rancho Bernardo winery, opened two years ago by co-owners James Malone and Matt DeLoach, is expanding its operations to include a brewery and restaurant. The new 5,000-square-foot facility just off Rancho Bernardo Road is eyeing a mid-July opening, according to head brewer Derek Gallanosa.<\/p>\n

A former brewer at Karl Strauss, Gallanosa said the Abnormal Beer Company will be brewing on a 10-barrel system and will feature classic styles, among them American Pale Ale and IPA.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe want our beers to be very drinkable, not something that destroys your palate,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Mike Arquines, co-owner of the Lab Dining Sessions and Mostra Coffee, has been brought in as executive chef. With Arquines\u2019 connections, Gallanosa said he also plans to make a coffee beer.<\/p>\n

The brewery operation will be a prominent feature in the restaurant, situated behind the bar in an area enclosed by glass.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s kind of like a human aquarium,\u201d Gallanosa said. \u201cI will be brewing right behind the tap handles when you walk in.\u201d<\/p>\n

Abnormal will have 40 taps, featuring local breweries along with Gallanosa\u2019s creations. The first batches of Abnormal beer won\u2019t be available until August.<\/p>\n

The new brewery\/winery\/restaurant will change its name to AWC, which stands for Ale, Wine, Comforts. The trifecta of offerings \u2013 also included are a music stage, Chef\u2019s table, wood-fired grill and in-house charcuterie \u2013 will give patrons plenty to choose from while providing AWC artisans an abundance of freedom with their creations.<\/p>\n

\u201cThere\u2019s a lot of potential to do a variety of different things,\u201d Gallanosa said. \u201cWe want to sell an experience.\u201d<\/p>\n

AWC will have inside seating for approximately 150 people and also feature outside patio seating for up to 40.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
