(Vista, CA) – Iron Fist Brewing will host a soft launch opening today and a grand opening tomorrow.
Iron Fist is one of over 200 breweries to open this year, a tiny fraction of the 2010 brewery boom. So if you’re wondering why relatively little has been written about them so far, that probably has something to do with it. Still, the brewery has been thorough in developing its web presence with a detailed website as well as Twitter and Facebook accounts.
There are currently seven beers to be offered in Iron Fist’s portfolio (full descriptions on these are available on the website):
“Hired Hand” – Saison
“Golden Age” – Belgian Style Golden Strong Ale
“Dubbel Fisted” – Abbey Style Dubbel
“Renegade Blonde” – Kolsch Style Blonde Ale
“Dark Days” – Brandy Barrel Aged Imperial Stout
“Spice of Life” – Belgian Style Spiced Ale
“The Resistance” – Belgian Style Wild Ale Aged in White Wine Barrel
Most of these will be available on Thursday and Friday. Friday is the official opening and begins at 4pm (you’ll have to call for Thursday details). According to Iron Fist Marketing Advocate, Taylor Shaw, “The Dark Days and The Resistance will not be ready for a while but all the others will be. They will be served on tap and bottles are available to purchase.”
Distribution will be limited to San Diego to start but the brewery hopes to be successful enough to make it into a few key markets outside of CA in the not-too-distant future.
The new Iron Fist Brewing Co. website is up, the links here will still work for a while though.
