Strike Brewing Company Celebrates 5th Anniversary
It’s surely a busy time for San Jose’s Strike Brewing Company.
As they get set to celebrate the fifth anniversary of the opening of their brewery and taproom at their 10th Street location (2099 S. 10th St., #30), the folks at Strike have also been actively working to open a taproom in nearby Campbell at 469 E. Campbell Ave. Look for an opening date of their Campbell taproom to be announced soon.
But back to the anniversary celebration…
The celebration is set for this Saturday, Oct. 12 at the special, early start time of 11am.
Food trucks will be on site throughout the day, including Crepe ‘Em Coming (11am-3pm), El Taco Loco (2-6pm) and Sarah’s Latin Taste (5-9pm).
