About US

We are committed to brewing high-quality & innovative beer.

Thorn Brewing Co. began in North Park, San Diego where neighborhood folks pride themselves on walking or riding their bikes to get locally produced food, growing their own fruits and vegetables and, of course, brewing their own beer. In 2017, we opened Thorn Barrio Logan, in the historic neighborhood, filled with art, culture and amazing people. This location boasts a 30-barrel brewhouse, canning line, and tasting room from where we have been able to grow our distribution throughout Southern California as well as internationally. Recently we had to move production to contract brewing due to the building that our Barrio Logan location was at being sold but you will be able to continue to get Thorn beer throughout San Diego.

Independence in craft beer is incredibly important to us as a brewery as well as to the craft beer community as a whole. This tight-knit, craft community was founded on the principles of quality vs. quantity, passion vs. profit, and being a positive impact on the neighborhoods where we live and work.
