About Eppig Brewing Waterfront Biergarten
From Eppig Brewing's own website and its Google listing, read September 27, 2026.
Eppig Brewing Waterfront Biergarten is a brewery and beer garden on Dickens Street in San Diego. The Eppig name comes from co-founder Stephanie Eppig, whose family's brewing history goes back to 1866 in Brooklyn, New York. Its website says the family business was revived about 150 years later, now brewing in San Diego County.
The core lineup includes 10:45 to Denver, an India Pale Ale, and the Special Lager, an international style pilsner. A beer called 1866 nods to the brewery's founding year, and the West Coast Pale Ale, Wake Up & Slay and Talons of Fury round out the tap list. Eppig also brews stouts, ales and hard ciders, including flavors like pineapple cream and ube.
The Waterfront Biergarten leans on patio seating, with limited seating indoors, according to the brewery's FAQ page. Eppig takes bookings for semi-private and full buyout events, and groups of 15 or more can arrange a brewery tour with 24 hours notice. Beer travels too: the brewery fills crowlers to go and sells kegs by advance order.
