Strike Brewing Company Warehouse Taproom and Brewery Grand Opening
A significant milestone in the San Jose and South Bay beer scene takes place Sat., Oct. 4 as San Jose’s Strike Brewing Company (2099 S. 10th St., #30) celebrates the grand opening of their warehouse taproom and brewery from 2-8pm.
After a two-and-half month soft opening period, the grand opening marks the first time that all 8 taps will be in full use, featuring the following lineup of seasonal and year-round beers:
- Oktoberfest (seasonal and making its debut) – IBU: 28, ABV: 7%
- Porter (seasonal) – IBU: 23, ABV: 5%
- Double IPA (seasonal) – IBU: 93, ABV: 8%
- Chin Music Extra Pale Ale (seasonal) – IBU: 42, ABV: 7%
- Imperial Red (year-round) – IBU: 23, ABV: 6.5%
- Brown (year-round) – IBU: 30, ABV: 4.8%
- Blonde (year-round) – IBU: 35, ABV: 4.5%
- IPA (year-round) – IBU: 89, ABV: 5.9%
To help keep the beer line to a minimum, drink tickets can be purchased online in advance and will be traded for drink tokens upon arrival.
Co-founder and CEO Jenny Lewis recently provided me the following details regarding the grand opening:
“Please bring your own chairs! We expect to be tight on seating. Food vendors will include Fusion Jerky and the awesome food truck – Melts My Heart.
“We’ll have a band – Alec Lytle & Them Rounders – and games like corn hole set up. New merchandise apparel will be available, and a portion of the proceeds will support the US Pain Foundation.
“We won’t be doing flights that day, just pints. Pints of all beer will be $4 during the grand opening, and [co-founder and brewmaster] Drew [Ehrlich] will provide brewery tours at 3, 4, 5 and 6pm.”
