A whole-animal butcher program sourcing Chino Farms hogs and locally raised beef anchors Ocean Beach Meat Company, a Newport Avenue shop launched in mid-2019 that opened its brick-and-mortar counter in March 2021. House-cured pastrami sandwiches built on rye pair with bread from Azucar when customers build their own boards for game-day spreads. In-house jerky rotates through smoked OG, black pepper, three-pepper, hot stuff, kalbi, and brisket-rub flavors, cured and smoked on-site in small batches rather than packaged under contract. Custom charcuterie boards are built to order with house-made salumi, and the shop's catering program handles corporate drop-offs that often get paired with wild-ale flights from California Wild Ales down Bacon Street. A rotating one-dish-per-service hot plate — smoked ribs, brisket burnt ends, bacon-wrapped chicken, tri-tip, macaroni and cheese — is posted each morning on social rather than printed on a standing menu. Full-event catering with a smoked whole hog, custom charcuterie spread, and house jerky favor bags is the shop's most involved project, booked weeks ahead for weddings, brewery takeovers, and corporate events that need breakdown-butchered primals rather than a chafing-dish tray.
