About

A small-batch San Diego producer founded in 2014, Kilowatt Brewing operates this Ocean Beach satellite tasting room a half-block off Newport Avenue at the Cable Street corner. Patrons design their own 20-ounce glass mug during the in-house painting class — $30 includes a full pour, two hours of glass-painting instruction, and supplies — an interactive-craft format that the straight-pour room at California Wild Ales does not offer. Black-light murals, rotating local-artist work, and interactive lighting fill the room, an aesthetic the brewery has carried across all three of its San Diego County locations. The no-kitchen format depends on a BYOF policy, with most carry-in food sourced from Pizza Port Ocean Beach two blocks east on Bacon Street or from Newport-Ave delivery routes. The Mug Club program offers unlimited 20-ounce pours on members' designated days, the brewery's deepest-loyalty product and the most-involved sales channel run from this storefront.
