OCEANSIDE BREWING COMPANY Year Established: 2016 Head Brewer: Greg Distefano/Tomas Bryant Why Oceanside? I’ve been a South Oceanside resident brewing for 25 years. I registered the name fifteen years ago. We wanted to put the west coast brewing scene on the map and Oceanside is the perfect hub. With its diverse coastal community, it’s the perfect place to be. At the same time, we give back to those who serve our country with special pricing. Distribution: Tasting room with bottling distribution coming in January 2017 Awards: Gold Medal Soke (Rice Barley Wine) North American Beer Awards Offering: 20 beers Special Project: Hand bottling in reusable ceramic bottles. Beer Philosophy: We make true craft beer, which means small batch runs only. Everything is handcrafted with each beer having its own special yeast blend provided by Oceanside’s own Real Brewers Yeast. Made for locals by locals.

Year Established: 2014 Head Brewer: Jeff Bagby Why Oceanside? I grew up in Encinitas, so I wanted to be a part of the growing North County food and beverage scene. At the same time, I felt that Oceanside needed more of a “brewery” vibe in its mix. We found this great space to build this multi-use property. We love being right here in downtown Oceanside. Distribution: Restaurants, bars, and the California flagship brewery here in Oceanside Awards: Great American festival 2016 Gold medal for the Sweet Rye Bohemian Pilsner Offering: 15-25 beers Beer Philosophy: We brew world-class beer based on the classic styles and tradition of our forefathers while upholding the heritage of craft beer. This means that attention to detail is key. We never want lose the quality or taste in anything we produce. We take great honor in serving our clientele with only the best quality beer possible.
