Thorn Street Brewery Taps Tasting Room in Mission Hills | Eater San Diego

"I'm excited that Mission Hills will get its first craft beer tasting room from Thorn Street Brewery: the company debuted its original brewery in North Park in 2012 and significantly expanded in 2017 with Thorn Brewing Co., a large-scale production facility and tasting room in Barrio Logan. The new Mission Hills tasting room will replace a stamp shop in the long-established Hawk Nest on Hawk Street (right next to The Fort), is slated to open by this summer, and will help the brewery expand its sour program and showcase other unique beers. Dennis O'Connor says it will hold about a dozen taps with a focus on Thorn's top-shelf offerings; the team—several of whom have deep personal ties to Mission Hills—hopes it will be a relaxed after-dinner spot or a fun place to gather before karaoke at the Lamplighter. There won't be food on-site, but guests will be welcome to bring in food from nearby eateries including Sushi Deli 1, Lefty's, The Patio, Harley Gray, Brooklyn Girl, Regal Beagle, Toma Sol, and Fort Oak." - Candice Woo
