Original 40 Brewing and Mission Brewery Collab on Team Meeting
(SAN DIEGO, CA) – North Park’s Original 40 Brewing Company and Downtown’s Mission Brewery have joined forces with their latest brew collaboration – Team Meeting. Brimming with notes of peach and ripe apricot intermingled with tangerine, grapefruit and a hint of white grape, this juicy pale ale is loaded with Azacca and Simcoe hops, all rounded out by a hazy yeast fermentation, resulting in a creation that seamlessly merges each brewery’s strong suits.
“Working alongside the talented team at Mission Brewery was such a blast, and we can’t wait to team up again in the future,” says Cosimo Sorrentino, Original 40’s Head Brewer. “It’s been a tough year for everyone, and this added some much-needed camaraderie to an otherwise isolated period of time. Plus, what better way to celebrate summertime than with a juicy pale ale named after bringing people together? We could all use a team meeting right about now!”
Clocking in at 5.5% ABV, Team Meeting is available in 16-oz. cans at select retailers throughout San Diego, as well as on-tap at Original 40 Brewing’s North Park tasting room.

About Mission Brewery
Mission Brewery was opened in 2007 by Dan Selis and his wife Sarah Selis. The two were successful but disenchanted members of the mortgage-banking business prior to opening Mission. “The more bored I got with real estate finance,” Dan recalls, “the more I dreamed of turning my homebrewing hobby into my career.” Mission Brewery is located in an 1894 structure in downtown San Diego, on the edge of the city’s popular Gas Lamp District. In the mid 1900s, the building (now on the National Historic Register) served as a Wonder Bread bakery. The building’s unique feature –Wonder Bread’s old flour silo – is repurposed as Mission’s grain silo and mill. The building is also home to Mission’s popular tasting room, which features a pair of lengthy bars, one of which allows customers to drink within reach of the brewers and their brewing equipment. The brewery’s name is a nod to one of San Diego’s first breweries, founded in 1913 and shuttered when Prohibition began.
