AleSmith Brewing Company has opened a new, 25,000-square-foot tasting room in Miramar that is considered the largest in the San Diego.
The indoor-outdoor space includes a zigzagging bar and three massive copper tap towers, all with a view of the two-story brewhouse.
“Our twentieth year has been momentous with us moving into a much larger facility that will allow us to increase our production ten-fold,” said owner and CEO Peter Zien. “But the biggest thrill for us in this process is being able to provide a world-class place to share our beer with the fans who played such a vital role in making AleSmith what it has become.”
AleSmith’s original tasting room comprised 750 square feet of space and featured a single set of 15 taps. The new venue is equipped with 60 taps.
The craft brewer plans to add a bar in the beer garden, upstairs mezzanine area, company store, private event space and a museum honoring the memory of San Diego Padres great Tony Gwynn.
