Ballast Point Brewery
You've probably heard of these guys; Jack and Yuseff's partnership founded Ballast Point Brewery in 1996. During his college years, Jack White developed a taste for craft beers. He started his home brewing business soon after graduation, but lacked the funds for equipment and people to discuss his ideas with. Yuseff, a fellow homebrewer, came across his path at that point.
Ballas Point Brewery was established as a result of their mutual love of brews and Yuseff's passion for fishing. The two worked together to create a diverse range of beers, including IPAs, Wheats, Porters, and Ales, which drew the attention of fellow beer enthusiasts and community members. Ballast Point, now one of the country's largest craft breweries, is known for its vibrant fish-themed beer labels. After becoming famous for their Sculpin IPA, the brewery quickly became a San Diego institution. Stop by their tasting rooms in Miramar, Little Italy, or their Home Brew Mart if you're interested in making your own beer. Try one of their seasonal or limited-edition beers, or stick to classics like the Grapefruit Sculpin.
