Hello Nickel Beer Friends!
I am happy to announce that we have opened up the tasting room this week for the first time since March of 2020! It is good to be getting back to the way things were – which up in Julian was never normal to begin with. Julian’s 4th of July Parade will be back this year kicking off at Noon on Sunday which is another sign things are getting back to “normal”.
We are going to be open every day over this 4th of July holiday weekend. Here are our hours:
Friday – 1 pm to 7 pm
Saturday – 11 am to 7 pm
Sunday – 11 am to 5 pm
Monday – Noon to 6 pm
We will then resume our normal 7 day a week hours on Tuesday. We are open 1-6 pm during the week, 7 pm on Fridays and then 11 am to 7 pm Saturday and 11 am to 6 pm on Sunday.
The Beer
We have a great line up of hoppy beers right now that includes the new Cheat Sheet IPA. This 6.8% alcohol IPA was made with “cheater” hops – Citra, Simcoe, Strata and Mosaic. It is light colored and full of tropical fruit flavors with hints of Guava, Mango and Passion Fruit. If you can’t join us in the mountains, look for this beer on tap at O’Brien’s in Kearny Mesa this weekend.
Our popular Apple Pie Ale is back on tap and we have a sour cider from Julian Cider Works flowing as well. For you spicy beer fans we will have a keg of our Habanero Chinook IPA on tap thru Friday and then the Jalapeno Gold will return for the weekend on Saturday.
We will have Beer Cheese, Pickels, Beef Jerky and Chips for your snacking enjoyment. As always, you are welcome to bring your own food to enjoy on the patio.
On the horizon we have a new lager coming out for the summer, a soccer inspired Pale Ale for the Gold Cup and a new single IPA based on our Hopster Douchebag Double IPA.
That is your Nickel Beer update for now. We’ll see you soon for a great Julian Brewed beer. Cheers, Tom
