About East Village Brewing Company
East Village Brewing Company is a neighborhood brewery in the East Village area of downtown San Diego, on Park Boulevard. It sits close enough to Petco Park that it opens early whenever the Padres have a 1pm game, and it opens early Thursday through Sunday during Comic Con.
The brewery is owned by Aaron Justus and Brandon Green, who met while working the packaging line at Ballast Point Brewing before starting their own place. They focus on small batch beers made with wholesome, mostly organic ingredients. The brewery says it has won numerous medals at local, national and international competitions.
Sustainability is part of the plan too. The founders are hikers and outdoor enthusiasts who care about their environmental footprint, and they're working to build ties with the East Village neighborhood and the rest of downtown San Diego.
East Village Brewing Company sits in a good spot for a brewery crawl. The Church by The Lost Abbey is 0.1 miles away, and Half Door Brewing Company is 0.2 miles away.
