| Ballast Point Brewing Company is one of San Diego's Premiere
Breweries. We started out modestly as Home Brew Mart in 1992. Our goal was to teach others
how to brew quality handcrafted beer at home. In 1996 the brewery was installed by New
World Brewing Systems in the space behind our retail store and production began in
September. In May of 2005 we open our second brewery in Scripps Ranch.
We
currently distribute five of our favorite beers, Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico
Amber Ale , Big Eye I.P.A., Black Marlin Porter and Wahoo
Wheat Beer to a thirsty San
Diego. Come to our brewery and we will gladly give
you a tour and allow you to sample our newest selection of beers. Currently our beer is available in
twelve ounce bottles to 15.5 gallon kegs. We also offer half gallon and gallon glass jugs to go.
Kegs are available for rent to the public with a minimum deposit.
The name for our brewery comes from the point where Juan
Rodriguez Cabrillo first set foot in California. Located on the Point Loma Peninsula,
Ballast Point is considered the gateway to San Diego Harbor. Stones from this area were
used as ballast in the cargo holds of sailing ships returning to the eastern seaboard.
Many New England streets are still lined with the cobblestones brought back from San
Diego.
So relax, grab a cold Ballast Point Beer and cruise through our
site. And remember to "Get the Point!"
