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. We currently distribute six of our favorite beers, Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale , Big Eye I.P.A., Dorado Doubl I.P.A., Black Marlin Porter and Wahoo Wheat to a thirsty San Diego. We opened a 2nd location in 2005 in Scripps Ranch and have tripled our production. Both locations have tasting bars for onsite consumption and we sell beer to go.
Currently our beer is available in five to 15.5 gallon kegs at the finest restaurants in the San Diego area. We also offer half gallon glass jugs to go. Kegs are available for rent to the public with a minimum deposit. We are currtently bottling 6 brands in 22oz. bottles and Yellowtail, Calico and Big Eye in 12oz. 6-packs. We currently distribute to California and Arizona.
The name for our brewery comes from the point where Juan Rodríguez 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 "Get the Point!".
