This is the company\u2019s first brewery restaurant to open in more than ten years.\u00a0 Karl Strauss has spent the last decade focused on growing its brewing operations and expanding its beer distribution beyond San Diego, more than doubling in size from 20,000 barrels in 2002 to 50,000 barrels projected for 2012. \u201cNow that we\u2019ve increased our capacity and set the foundation for growth, it\u2019s the right time to open another brewery restaurant,\u201d says Matt Rattner, President and Co-Founder of Karl Strauss Brewing Company.\u00a0 \u201cWe look forward to sharing our beers with the 4S Ranch community and from the emails we\u2019ve been getting, there are some thirsty folks out there!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft\" style=\"margin: 10px;\" src=\"http:\/\/www.2beerguys.com\/images\/forblog\/karl_strauss_rannch_bernado01.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"257\" height=\"171\" \/>The new location brings to life the company\u2019s refreshed brand and features a metro-loft, brewery vibe.\u00a0 From the outside, large glass windows peer into the brand new 7-barrel brew house, letting you know that you\u2019re dining right next to the working brewery.\u00a0 Inside, a mix of metal, stone, concrete and reclaimed wood bring the brewery elements into the dining space. Large garage door roll-ups bring the outdoors in and overlook the large patio and outdoor fire-pit. The custom-built concrete bar is the heart of the space, with up to twelve beers on tap at all times, including a tap dedicated to beers brewed onsite.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re excited to have an in-house brewer here to help keep up with demand and brew special test batches,\u201d says Paul Segura, Brewmaster.\u00a0 In addition to the beers on tap, the restaurant will feature a wide variety of its award winning specialty beers in 22oz bombers as well as weekly Thursday cask nights.\u00a0 The menu will feature the company\u2019s signature West Coast Pub Fare, with unique beer and food pairing specials rotating each month.\u00a0 \u201cWe want this to be a space where people can hang out with their friends, enjoy a great meal, and pair it with handcrafted beer,\u201d says Segura.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For more information and pictures of Karl Strauss\u2019 new brewery restaurant, visit\u00a0<a onclick=\"javascript:pageTracker._trackPageview('\/outgoing\/www.karlstrauss.com\/');\"  href=\"http:\/\/www.karlstrauss.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.karlstrauss.com<\/a>.\u00a0 Share it.
