USA, CA: Kitchen Sink Brewing Company to take former Inland Empire Brewing Company space in Riverside

Inland Empire Brewing Company has closed, but it appears its replacement is already there, the Press-Enterprise reported on March 24.

Founded in Riverside in 2009, Inland Empire Brewing Company was one of the longest-operating breweries here in the Inland Empire. The brewery also served as a contract brewery for several up-and-coming local breweries, including Off the Grid Brewery and Three Marm Brewing Co.

However, in June, the taproom was temporarily closed and the owners encouraged getting local craft beer delivered via the socal.beer website.

The closure became permanent, according to a comment from the brewery on a Facebook post. The beer delivery service remains active.

In its place — 1710 Palmyrita Ave., Suite 11 — will be Kitchen Sink Brewing Company.

The new owners are apparently fans of Inland Empire Brewing Company, as one of the first beers announced by Kitchen Sink is an IEBC staple: Victoria orange barleywine.

Victoria is expected to be available in cans this week.
