About
Modern Times is a 30bbl 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 (see “Modern Times was..” for the full explanation), and (almost) all of our beers are named after real utopian experiments or mythological utopias.

Tap at Marciero. PAstel yellow, almost anyhow, with a low head. Meaty fruits in the nose, yeast, honey malt, lemon, funk minerals. Biscuits. Decent, but comes off either as too American for a saison, or more like a tripel. Heavy yeast and malts.

Tap at Marciero. Fruity nose, lightly earthy, caramel and some butterscotch, but light. Lovely malt, biscuit, a touch of caramel and toffee, orange, lemon, mango from the hops. Yes, if you called it an IPA, no one would argue, but that amber ale character still comes through. Good stuff.

22 oz bottle poured into a Spiegelau tulip. Nice clear golden yellow with just over a finger of off-white head. Decent lacing. Aromas of citrus, tropical fruit, floral notes. Tastes of tropical fruit, citrus, caramel, sweet malt, floral hops. Medium body with a dry finish. Malty and slightly juicy mouthfeel. Medium-low carbonation. Very nice.

Can. Hazy gold with a large white head. Floral and spicy aroma with light dough, lemon pudding, pepper, cloves. Light bodied, moderate carbonation. Sweet with some stone and tropical fruit (or bubblegum), a wheaty tanginess, spicy at the moderately bitter finish. Refreshing, but wanted a drier finish.
