The Brewing News
We will have special business hours on this Monday, Labor Day! We will be open from 10:00-2:00 p.m.
Our next free beginning brewing class will be Thursday, October 7th. This class will cover basic-intermediate brewing, and is held right here at the brewery. No sign-up is required, just show up!
Street scene is rapidly approaching. Ballast Point will be part of the brew fest along with many other local as well as out of town breweries. The Scene happens Sept. 10,11,12 and will be held in the Gaslamp. If you have never been to Street Scene, it is probably the biggest party of the year. With tons of bands, food, and beer this one shouldn’t be missed.
The San Diego Festival of Beers is also in September. It will be held Sept. 24th at the intersection of Columbia and B streets, right next to the downtown Karl Strauss. Over 50 breweries will be present, as well as live entertainment, food and wine. The festival will be from 6:00-midnight, $15 for 6 beer tasters-more can be purchased. For more info call (858) 672-3972 Proceeds go to benefit cancer research and treatment.
Sorry to say that if you did not go to the Mammoth Festival of Beers you really missed one of the best beer/blues events of the year. With unlimited tasters, free food and great music for $25 it could not be beat. Breweries from all around California to the Pacific Northwest were represented and excellent beers were being poured everywhere. Thanks to all the folks in Mammoth for putting on such a great festival! See you next year!
