Quarry’s plans for Escondido’s former Stone gardens, Sazerac’s Full Sail takeover and new releases from Kent to Washington, D.C., shaped our coverage of November 1–7, 2026. This weekly beer roundup brings together seven stories published during that week, with the context that matters for your next read—or your next outing.

Weekly beer roundup: openings and last calls
Quarry’s next chapter for Escondido
The former Stone Brewing World Bistro & Gardens is becoming Quarry Escondido, an independent restaurant led by Stone co-founders Greg Koch and Steve Wagner. Our November 1 report outlined a return to an entrée-focused menu and a beer program intended to reach beyond Stone’s own beers.
November 14 has been reported as the opening date, but Quarry’s official website still says only “opening late 2026,” so confirm the timing before making a trip. Our Quarry Escondido story explains the handoff, including what is planned for the familiar Citracado Parkway destination.
Full Sail’s sale brings a harder ending
Sazerac’s acquisition of Full Sail Brewing became more than a change of ownership. The Hood River pub closed November 2, and the Portland Business Journal subsequently reported that the new owner confirmed the end of production of Full Sail’s beers.
That distinction matters for anyone following the future of the Oregon brewery: a buyer taking over a facility does not necessarily mean its established beers continue. Our updated Full Sail acquisition report separates the confirmed closure and production news from the less-defined question of what Sazerac will make there next.
Black Market sets a November 15 last call
Black Market Brewing plans to close after final service Sunday, November 15, ending a Temecula run that began in 2009. Owner Kevin Dyer attributed the decision to an unsuccessful effort to renew the lease after the building’s sale, according to San Diego Beer News.
For longtime customers, this is a specific final-service date rather than an open-ended closure warning. The Black Market closing report has the address and announced remaining hours, plus the background on the property dispute.
New releases, three different directions
Bishops Finger gets an IPA companion
Shepherd Neame added Bishops Finger IPA Reserve, a 5.5% golden IPA made by the team behind its Kentish Strong Ale. The launch extends a name first brewed in 1958 into a different style, rather than announcing a replacement for the original ale.
Shepherd Neame describes citrus, caramel and smooth bitterness in its launch notes. Our Bishops Finger IPA Reserve coverage explains the brand connection; U.S. distribution was not specified in the launch announcement.
Revolution’s November Deep Wood lineup
Revolution’s Deep Wood calendar placed its November release on Friday, November 6, with Straight Jacket, Dread & Breakfast, Ryeway to Heaven and D.B.V.S.O.J. Calvados. The announced range spans barleywine, a coffee-focused breakfast blend and rye-driven beer, rather than a single stout repeated four ways.
The packaging matters, too: the first three were listed as 12-ounce four-packs, while the Calvados entry was a single 19.2-ounce can. Our Revolution Deep Wood release guide breaks down the differences between the beers and the season-ticket allocations.
Atlas goes big with a golden strong ale
Washington, D.C.’s Atlas Brew Works announced Big Something Golden Strong Ale as a new seasonal, with rollout beginning November 1. Its announcement lists 9.1% ABV and describes spice, fruit and a warming finish, putting this release in a different lane from a lighter golden ale.
Atlas also announced a November 14 taproom celebration, so the launch and the event are separate dates. Our Big Something release story covers the planned promotions and regional distribution details for readers deciding whether it fits their plans.
A Beer Week date to plan around
Brews, Views & Chews on November 9
Tom Ham’s Lighthouse has Brews, Views & Chews scheduled for Monday, November 9, from 5:30 to 9 p.m. PST on Harbor Island. The event pairs local kitchens with breweries, making it a food-and-beer outing rather than simply another tap list to work through.
The restaurant promotes it as a Beer Week kickoff, but the wider San Diego Beer Week runs November 6–15; November 9 is the date of this event, not the start of the entire celebration. Our Brews, Views & Chews preview lays out the announced pairings and points to the event’s ticket information.
Keep planning. Our San Diego Beer Week 2026 guide, first published in October, is a related planning resource for the November 6–15 celebration—not one of this week’s seven new stories.
