Just tapped at Ballast Point Little Italy!

Meet Little John, a crisp, bright pale ale with notes of peach, nectarine and tropical fruit.

Clean, easy and right at home on a San Diego afternoon.

Now pouring in Little Italy, San Diego.

One for the classic. One for when you want to turn it up.

Sculpin IPA brings bright notes of apricot, peach, mango and lemon. Imperial Sculpin takes everything you love and dials it up. Same fish, more bite.

Which one are you reaching for? 🧡 or 💚

10/27/2026

Maxed-out credit cards. Crowds of 60. Plenty of nights asking if it was worth it.

Excalibur stuck with it. The wrestlers who came through Pro Wrestling Guerrilla are now all over AEW and other organizations, and he just called a massive show at Wembley Stadium.

Make a date with darkness. 🏴‍☠️

Victory at Sea is arriving early this year, and it’s taking over Ballast Point Little Italy in San Diego for one day only on Saturday, Nov 7.

Our fan favorite comes home to the harbor with special Victory at Sea variants, a few old favorites on tap for the first time in years, and a one-day-only Victory at Sea ice cream float.

There will be themed food, games, exclusive merch and a costume contest with a $250 prize.

Come dressed for the occasion. The fleet is arriving early. Link in bio.

Pumpkin Down is officially back on tap, for a limited time! ⁠
⁠
Our spiced ale is brewed with pumpkin and American honey over Maris Otter, a stack of crystal malts, and a touch of roasted barley, then layered with cinnamon, nutmeg, clove, and allspice. It’s deep mahogany in the glass, with a malty backbone and just enough German Tettnang hops to keep the spice in check.⁠
⁠
Fall is here. Come say hi to an old friend.⁠

Spiced Ale | 6% ABV | 21 IBU

We hope to see you there!

From Reseda to Wembley Stadium.

Excalibur left Detroit with $2,500 and a Dodge K car to chase lucha libre. He lived in his friend’s mom’s garage and co-founded Pro Wrestling Guerrilla with his friends. Now he’s the play-by-play voice of AEW, and he recently called a show at Wembley with close to 50,000 people watching.

He sits down with Jeff to talk about all of it.

One music video. One pair of Chuck Taylors. Every girl in America saying “I need that.”

Former Converse exec Jim Stroesser explains how Avril Lavigne’s 'Sk8er Boi' music video helped push Chucks from about 2 million pairs a year to 10 million.

Two very different pours at Little Italy right now.

Midnight Rysing is an unfiltered Black Rye IPA. It brings spicy rye, Sabro and Chinook hops, and a roasty backbone, and it pours almost black. 6.8% ABV.

East To West is the cult-favorite IPA, a trans-Pacific collab loaded with Citra, Galaxy and Nelson, plus a hit of lemon zest. 7.5% ABV.

Pick a side, or get one of each. Pouring now in Little Italy.

Jim Stroesser helped bring Converse back from bankruptcy and turned the Chuck Taylor into a must-have again. Then he and his partner Jen went grassroots and built Cali Strong. It started with black t-shirts in military stores and one rule: “We have to stand for something good.”

Jim joins us on the latest Dedicated to the Craft to talk turnarounds, bold moves, and why the best brand stories start at the grassroots.
