SAN DIEGO, California – The Original 40 Brewing Company will release Most Necessary West Coast IPA on Thursday, December 4, at its North Park brewpub. Head Brewer Kyle Fjalstad made the announcement.
 
Most Necessary is 7.1 percent alcohol-by-volume (ABV) with a classic hop profile of Mosaic and Citra. The beer has low-to-medium bitterness, a medium body, and tasting notes of grapefruit, citrus, and blueberry. It is available on draft and in four packs of 16-oz cans.
 
“While not always necessary for a good West Coast IPA, you could argue Mosaic and Citra are most necessary,” Fjalstad said. “Avoid any wrenches in your holiday plans and come enjoy a fresh pint of our latest creation. You won’t be disappointed, especially pairing it with our elevated brewpub fare of burgers, flatbreads, and tacos.”
 
Original 40’s IPA menu also features ‘Hold My Stuff’ Double Dry Hopped West Coast IPA, a collaboration with Embolden Beer Co., as well as ‘Drifting Dial’ West Coast IPA, ‘Cruel Reminder’ Hazy IPA, and more.
 
The brewpub’s annual Red Envelope Season promotion is going on now through December 31. All guests receive a red envelope with each paying visit, and the envelope must remain sealed and brought back in January for a staff member to open to reveal the prize. All envelopes contain a prize, and they must be claimed within the month of January. The grand prize is a $250 gift card to Original 40, and other prizes include free burgers, free flatbreads, discounts, and gift cards.
 
Original 40 opens at 12:00 noon Monday – Friday and at 11:30 a.m. on Saturdays and Sundays. The brewpub, which opened in 2019 and is named after the original 40-acre parcel of land that became modern day North Park, is located at 3117 University Avenue.
 
Happy hour with $5 select beers is Monday – Friday from 4:00 – 6:00 p.m., as well as a late-night version on Tuesdays from 9:00 – 11:00 p.m.
