The Original 40 Brewing Company is known as a go-to for anyone looking for delicious craft brewers in the North Park neighborhood of San Diego, which is precisely why the award-winning brewery has taken the laudable step of paying tribute to its surroundings with the launch of a pair of kolsch beers that well and truly celebrate the local area.
These new kolsch beers comprise the University Ave Kolsch and the University Ave Raspberry Kolsch, both of which come in at 4.8 percent ABV and are available for purchase in four-packs of 16-ounce cans. The conventional kolsch beer makes use of German Bohemian Pilsner Malt to create a beer that is reminiscent of classic German offerings. Meanwhile, the Raspberry Kolsch features the addition of pure raspberries rather than artificial flavorings, giving it a deliciously fruity character.
