Ballast Point Brewing began its journey in 1996 as Home Brew Mart, a small supply store for homebrewers in San Diego.

The brewery's name, Ballast Point, is inspired by the nautical term 'ballast,' which refers to the stabilizing weight used in ships, reflecting San Diego's rich maritime history.

Ballast Point Brewing boasts over 50 different beer varieties, catering to every taste from hoppy IPAs to smooth stouts.

Their flagship beer, Sculpin IPA, is named after a spiny fish found in the Pacific Ocean, known for its vibrant colors and unique taste.

Ballast Point Brewing is dedicated to sustainability, implementing water-saving techniques and recycling initiatives to reduce their environmental footprint.

The Miramar location features a dedicated R&D brewery where experimental and innovative brews are crafted and tested.
