USA, CA: Rincon Reservation Road Brewery preparing to open in Southern California

Rincon Reservation Road Brewery—which goes by the nickname 3R Brewery—is the first certified Native American-owned and operated brewery on tribal land in Southern California, westcoastersd.com reported on December 17.

The new name references a trail along the San Luis Rey River the Luiseño Indians traveled from the Warner Hot Springs area of Palomar Mountain to modern-day Oceanside in order to hunt, gather and fish. Tribal villages were located along the trail at Rincon and Pauma. Today, Rincon Reservation Road runs through several Indian reservations, including Rincon, Pechanga, Soboba, Pala, Pauma and La Jolla.

The brewery will debut with a quartet of initial offerings: Oasis Blonde Ale (4.2% alcohol-by-volume), Rez Dog Hefeweizen (5%), Red Rattler Amber Ale (5%) and Chief IPA (6%). Those beers will be available on draft and canned. They are the product of brewmaster Shawn Steele, who spent the past two years as director of brewing for Coronado Brewing, after 14 years with Karl Strauss Brewing where he headed quality control. In the future, it is a goal of 3R Brewery to get members of the tribe involved in the company where brewing is concerned.

Rincon Reservation Road Brewery is located at 777 South Resort Drive on the same property (but operating independently of) Harrah’s Southern California Resort. The tasting room will open to the public on Thursday, January 30. Its hours of operation will be 2 to 9 p.m. on Thursdays, 2 to 10 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Sundays and 2 to 9 p.m. on Thursdays.
