E-Malt.com News article: USA, CA: La Jolla Brewing Company holds grand opening

The La Jolla Brewing Company held a grand opening on January 30, in the former home of the La Jolla Brew House. Samples of San Diego beers, including those made by La Jolla Brewing Company, were served at the opening, Lajollalight.com reported on February 5.

Brewmaster Brett Stampf has 20 years of brewing experience at breweries such as Dogfish Head, Green Flash Brewing and Stone Brewing Co. He plans to brew about five beers in house while showcasing more than 20 local beers, such as those from newcomer Modern Times Brewery.

Management partner Joe Matibag said since the soft opening in early January, residents have been receptive to the establishment, and have come in to check out the atmosphere and food.

“We want a local pub-style establishment where there is a comfortable neighborhood feel and it’s a nice place to hang out,” he said. “We plan to cater to a variety of patrons, including beer aficionados and also those who want to try something new. We want to create a space for the craft breweries around San Diego to showcase their beers.”
