Modern Times Beer
Modern Times Beer is an intrepid cadre of brewers, coffee roasters, and culinary wizards that began as a 30 BBL production brewery and tasting room in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego.
Modern Times is named after a beautifully crazy utopian community founded in 1850, and many of their beers are named after real utopian experiments or mythological utopias. Today, their beers are distributed throughout California, Arizona, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Hawaii, and the Pacific Northwest.
In addition to their flagship brewery and roastery in Point Loma, Modern Times now has brewery/restaurant locations in Los Angeles and Portland, as well as a tasting room in San Diego’s North Park neighborhood and a restaurant and tap room in Encinitas, California. And the brewery just opened a restaurant in Santa Barbara. Eventually, the company will be adding a brewery/restaurant/cafe/swim club megaplex in downtown Anaheim.
As of 2017, Modern Times proudly became California’s very first employee-owned brewery.
Historically, Modern Times brewed their first batch on May 18th, 2013, and their beer went on tap for the first time on June 24th, 2013. The brewery held its soft opening for the Lomaland Fermentorium tasting room on August 9th, 2013, and the Grand Opening was shortly thereafter on September 7th, 2013.
