OB getting a shot of Culture

Life’s been a beach for the team at Culture Brewing Company since opening their small but noteworthy brewery and tasting room in Solana Beach’s Cedros Design District in 2012. And it figures to stay that way as they ready themselves for the opening of the company’s first satellite tasting room, 20 miles down the coast in Ocean Beach.

Located at 4845 Newport Avenue, the 1,600 square foot facility will mirror its northerly predecessor to some degree with a sleek, neutral-driven interior design motif featuring local art and a new version of the Solana Beach tasting room’s “craft beer graphic wall,” and roll-up garage doors facing out onto a popular, walkable and high-traffic main drag. Eighteen taps will dispense Culture’s core beers and rotating, ever-increasing stock of specialty brews, some of which may be served on nitro. Tasters and full pours will be available.

Culture’s OB tasting room is scheduled to open for business on Saturday, November 8, the second day of San Diego Beer Week. New beers, specialty styles, and casks will be on tap at the new spot and the Solana Beach tasting room during that 10-day span. The Ocean Beach tasting room will be open daily from noon to 11 p.m. There will not be any beer or food produced on-site, but food trucks will be welcomed to provide edible options.
