Beer and pizza—it seems like a sure-fire recipe for success. These two things go together like…well, beer and pizza. One would be hard-pressed to find a better edible-quaffable duo…unless, perhaps, it was the game-plan for opening a kitchen-equipped tasting-room on the main-drag in Little Italy, where pizza is being pumped out of ovens that have called the area home, in some cases, for decades. If you’re walking down India Street in search of quality pie, the likelihood you’ll select the satellite sampling space of a La Mesa-based brewery is pretty slim. And that’s why Bolt Brewery (1971 India Street, Little Italy) has decided to change things up on the food-front.
Owner Molly Rust and company have scrapped their pizza program and reconfigured the kitchen at its Little Italy tasting-room, equipping it to switch to a new menu based on burgers, small-plates and salads. Listed under the “Hand Helds” sandwich section of the Bolt bill, they’re straightforward and, at $11 or less, rather affordable.
In addition to its mammalian shift, Bolt’s Little Italy venue will also begin serving a weekend brunch from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., Saturdays and Sundays. That menu includes blueberry-spice coffee cake, bacon-cheddar biscuits, Texas French toast, breakfast poutine, a veggie Benedict, and an assortment of “Bolt scrambles”—“Blasted” (sausage with pepper relish), “Wasted” (beef and spinach with Hollandaise sauce) and “Smashed” (bacon and feta). Bbrunch service is set to begin on December 3. and the small-plates and burger menu will go into effect the second week of December.
