"I'm excited that Pure Project is moving forward with its next tasting room on El Cajon Boulevard in North Park; the space, which formerly housed an automotive paint shop, will span 7,000 square feet with 5,000 square feet dedicated to outdoor space — a prime commodity in pandemic times. Co-founder Jesse Pine said, “After COVID hit, we realized having a large outdoor element would be a requirement for us going forward, and we were surprised by the lack of safe gathering spaces in San Diego, despite the beautiful year-round weather.” With a late summer opening targeted, they are hoping breweries will be allowed to resume operations by then so they can take advantage of the ample outdoor area for socially-distanced beer enjoyment." - Candice Woo
