OB Brewery

The goal of Ocean Beach Brewery is to craft a distinctly local beer that is as much a testament to the community around us as it is to the art of craft brewing. It is our intent to present craft beers that are innovative in spirit and a cause for pleasent contemplation, while our three-story, rustic-tasting room provides an inspirational view of Ocean Beach; a combination that invokes a sense of enjoyment that is unparalelled on Newport Avenue. Every aspect of Ocean Beach Brewery is an experiment in artistry with Ocean Beach as our exclusive muse.

San Diego is known around the world as a destination for lovers of craft brews. In that spirit, It is Ocean Beach Brewing Company's mission to continue that tradition by providing Ocean Beach with its own claim to fame. A place were locals and the rest of the world can visit, and walk away knowing that they've partaken in something uniquely O.B.

The Building:

In 2008, Mike Tajran, owner of Newport Pizza and Ale House, purchased the 5041 Newport Ave location and began the architectural planning for what would become the first microbrewery on Newport Avenue. The former building remained unused for many years, having been previously used by several entities and groups since its initial redesign. Upon purchase of the building, Mike decided to completely remodel the building from the ground up. But, to maintain some of the historical value of the building, MIke decided to repurpose much of the original 100-year-old wood and integrate it into the design of the new building.

The walls on the first and second floors are that very wood, adding a rustic appearance to the new interior design. The goal is to integrate the old with the new, providing a contemporary place enjoyed by locals and visitors alike; a place loved as much for its craft brew as it is for its architectural contribution to the Ocean Beach landscape.
​
Our building boasts three stories including the downstairs tap room, kitchen, and brew room in back. The second floor is designed to allow casual tasting and sipping while enjoying classic games of shuffleboard and foosball with a Newport Ave facing balcony and spectacular view of beach. The third floor is the crown jewel of the building with a rooftop deck and panoramic view of the ocean, OB Pier and the surrounding Ocean Beach and Point Loma hillside. This rooftop was designed to be the highest point in Ocean Beach and provide a spectacular view unmatched in OB. Where history was once lost to this building, a new history is being built for generations to come.
