Sycuan Casino Resort has created its very own Sycuan Blonde Ale and Sycuan IPA craft beers brewed by local San Diego brewery, Thorn Brewing. The new Sycuan beers are available throughout the casino gaming floor and at The unCommons, Rank & File, Lobby Bar, Viewpoint Neighborhood Kitchen and Bull & Bourbon.
“We are thrilled to introduce our new one-of-a-kind Blonde Ale and IPA craft beers,” said Paul Schwab, executive chef at Sycuan Casino Resort. “When we were looking for an iconic local brewery to create these beers, Thorn was the natural fit. Together, I think we have created something very special that will appeal to a wide variety of people.”
The Sycuan Blonde is a 5% alcohol-by-volume malty blonde ale that’s full-flavored yet easy to drink, making it ideal for the entry level macro beer drinkers. Meanwhile, the Sycuan IPA is a 6% alcohol-by-volume West Coast classic that blends a malt backbone with throwback hops to bring out the delicious bitterness that seasoned IPA drinkers love.
The new Sycuan Blonde Ale and Sycuan IPA will be produced at Thorn Brewing’s impressive 30-barrel production facility in Barrio Logan in San Diego. The brand new facility features state-of-the-art equipment including a four vessel, 30 barrel Marks system with five 120 BBL and three 60-barrel fermenters.
