New Brewery: Duck Foot Brewing Company

Many beer makers remove gluten at the beginning of the brewing process, resulting in a watery, sad thing. Enter San Diego’s Duck Foot Brewing Company. At their new 5,000-square-foot brewery and 749-square-foot tasting room (fits 49 drinkers), owners Matt DelVecchio and Brett Goldstock add a natural, flavorless enzyme at the end that exorcises the gluten but keeps the craft beer taste. The 20 taps will feature pale ales and IPAs, plus concoctions like a chocolate-hazelnut stout and coconut-molasses brown. The space is modern minimalism meets Comic-Con, with concrete, steel, and wood and murals from childhood buddies at Brooklyn design studio Madonna+Child. 8920 Kenamar Drive, Miramar
