BARRIO LOGAN— Thorn St. Brewery is expanding in a big way; San Diego Reader reports that the North Park brewery is taking over the 22,000-square-foot Barrio Logan warehouse that was once slated for the San Diego Public Market project. Dubbed Thorn Brewing Company, the new facility will produce its core beer lineup on a 30-barrel system and house a barrel-aging program, while the original brewery shifts to concentrate on special releases. The space may also be home to other vendors. [SDReader]
