Originally located less than a mile from the very hill where Friar Junipero Serra and his scurvy-ridden crew drove their stake into the ground, Mission Brewery was born in those heady first days of the 20th century. And then prohibition shut it down. Re-established in 2007, we are honored to say that four months and four beers in, Mission was awarded two national medals at the Great American Beer Festival. Fast forward to 2010 our plunder of precious beer medals has gown considerably. Three Gold, three Silver and two Bronze medals now fill our bounty. A dream come true for long-time die-hard home brewers. From modest beginnings to a state of the art custom made brewery in the historic Wonderbread building just east of San Diego’s baseball stadium Petco Park. There’s nothing more enjoyable than a pint while watching the beer you’re drinking being made a few feet from where you’re sitting. No catchy gimmicks. No national campaigns. Just great handcrafted beer made in San Diego!
