About North Park Beer Company
North Park Beer Company is one of the best breweries in San Diego. Their original location, on University Ave in North Park, is a huge wooden beer hall with a larger upstairs area that has some games and is often uninhabited enough to bring a score of children without disturbing anyone. North Park Beer Co. specializes in DDH IPAs and West Coast IPAs, though they have plenty of other options and often host guest taps. Their flagship location in the heart of North Park has plenty of seating and a restaurant (Mastiff North Park) inside it.

A Closer Look
Started by a local San Diegan and video game designer Kelsey McNair when he began brewing beers out of his garage in 2004, North Park Beer Company opened its first brick and mortar brewery in 2016 and has not looked back since. Still locally owned an operated by Kelsey and his also-former-game-designer wife Amanda, it is one of the best breweries in San Diego, if not Southern California. A true a local gem.
