Ballast Point Brewing Company is one of San Diego's Premiere Breweries. We began as Home Brew Mart in 1992 teaching others how to brew quality handcrafted beer at home. In 1996 our first brewery was installed by New World Brewing Systems in the space behind Home Brew Mart. We opened our 2nd location in 2005 in Scripps Ranch and have since tripled our production.
Both locations have tasting bars for onsite consumption and we sell beer to go. Currently our beer is available in 5 and 15.5 gallon kegs and on tap at the finest restaurants in the San Diego area. We also offer half gallon and one gallon glass jugs to go. We are currently bottling seven (7) brands in 22oz. bottles as well as Yellowtail Pale Ale, Calico Amber Ale and Big Eye IPA in 12oz. 6-packs.
We currently distribute to California, Arizona, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Pennsylvania, Kansas, Massachusetts, Illinois, New Jersey, Nevada, South Carolina, Virginia, Philippines, Denmark and more!
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!"
