Description
We started out in 1996 as a small group of San Diego home brewers who simply wanted to make a better beer. In our exploration, we became obsessed with ingredients—tinkering, testing and tasting to find the perfect balance of taste and aroma. That adventurous spirit leads to award-winning beers in classic and unique styles while challenging our own tastes and expanding yours.
We’re proud of our San Diego hometown, our employees, our beers, and our fans. We think of our employees as family, and you, our fans, as extended family. You’ll see us use #BPPROUD as a badge of pride and a way to further connect with our beer loving community.

Bottle from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Fruity juicy aroma with lots of tropical fruits, grapefruit, orange, mango, passion fruit, and a soft malty & piney backbone. Flavour is mildly sweet with a bitter finish. Body is medium. Another wonderful Sculpin variety. *** Re-rate, as Ballast Point Hazy Sculpin. Nicely tropical but piney as well, with grapefruit, mango, orange, pale malt. Bittersweetish.

Can from Joe's Wine and Liquor, Memphis. Piney and fruity hops with citrus, sweetish orange, pine resin, tropical fruits, grapefruit, malt, some caramel, and a light floral touch. Flavour is above moderate sweet with a bitter finish. Body is above medium. Wonderful IIPA from Ballast, the way I like it: In your face resinous and tropical fruits with a firm bittersweet flavour. True San Diego quality.
