Looks like Ballast Point is using their Constellation billions to make a push north into Long Beach. The San Diego brewer will be taking over a spot on the aptly named Marina Drive and opening in (probably) late summer of this year.
They will follow Firestone Walker into the L.A. beer and food market with Modern Times coming as well.
There is also a possibility of small-batch brewing being done on site as well. Maybe leading to L.A. only beers from the maker of Sculpin and a host of crazy popular fruit beers. Most of which I am not a fan of but Sculpin is still, after all these years, one of the best IPA’s out there.
With Smog City also rolling into Long Beach, the city is swelling with great beer.
