"I'm noting that SD TapRoom's much-awaited second location on El Cajon Boulevard in North Park is approaching completion after several delays; originally slated to open in 2017, the new 5,000-square-foot project will have capacity for 220 guests, a 2,000-square-foot patio, a mezzanine beer cellar and a full kitchen, and will house 50 taps focused on the best in local beer. This venue also marks the brand's entry into brewing with an onsite seven-barrel brewing system to make the company's new house beers; founders Kevin and Kyle Conover have brought on former AleSmith and Mikkeller SD brewer Bill Batten as head brewer and say they're looking to lock in a chef to lead the brewpub's kitchen." - Mario A.
