A new bottle shop and tap room has just received the green light to move forward; Solana Beach's Boardwalk Center, which sits about a mile south of Pizza Port on the 101, will soon be home to San Diego BeerWorks.

Owners John Holko and Jennifer Todd are remodeling a 1500-square-foot cupcake shop and turning it into a new beer retail space and tasting room for local craft beer.

Their website indicates that BeerWorks' mission is "to encourage, educate, and celebrate the San Diego craft beer movement." The shop also plans to offer light food options in the forms of snacks and appetizers; operating hours will be Monday to Thursday from 3 p.m. to 11 p.m. and 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. on weekends.
