About

Good Pressure Brewing Co. in Grantville is a craft brewery and taproom at 7559 Mission Gorge Road in San Diego, near the gateway to Mission Trails Regional Park in the 92120 ZIP. Founders Erik and Shannon Fowler opened the brewery in December 2025, bringing Erik's background as Executive Director of the San Diego Brewers Guild and his prior work at White Labs yeast manufacturing in Miramar to a neighborhood taproom designed for the post-hike and after-work crowd. The opening tap list centered on drinkability — a blonde ale, American light lager, Pilsner, hazy IPA, a West Coast IPA brewed with hand-selected Centennial hops and Citra Incognito at 6.7 percent ABV, and a coffee stout, plus hard seltzers and limited-run ciders under a retained wine license. Mission Trails Regional Park draws hikers and trail runners down Mission Gorge Road, and the taproom at Mission Trails Regional Park sits at the north end of a corridor where the post-trail crowd filters south toward this Grantville brewery for a first pint. The Fowlers took over the former Poochie's Hooch Urban Cidery space and gutted it — knocking down a dividing wall, extending the bar from a straightaway to an L-shape, and replacing the dark color palette with a bright, open layout calibrated for families and dogs. Food trucks rotate on a weekly schedule — wood-fired pizza, Argentinian street food, and barbecue fill the permanent spots — tying the taproom to neighboring small-food vendors and building a dependable weekly rhythm. First-year production targets sit between 750 and 1,000 barrels, with a long-term goal of 5,000 to 7,000 barrels as the brewing program scales from taproom-only pours to select placements at nearby bars and restaurants. The intersection of Allied Gardens, San Carlos, and Del Cerro puts this location within walking or short-drive distance for residents of three sub-communities, and board games near the front door, front and side patios, and a dog-welcome outdoor policy keep the taproom format accessible on weekends. The specialty-protein corridor on Mission Gorge Road includes Keil's Fresh Food Store in San Carlos, where the same grocery-and-craft-beverage errand loop that defines Grantville's weekend routine connects a meat run with a growler fill. The Fowlers' recipe development draws on Erik's work with hundreds of brewery business models through the Brewers Guild, and the San Diego Brewers Guild membership ties Good Pressure into the regional collaboration and distribution network.
