Our Story
East Village Brewing is solely owned by Aaron Justus and Brandon Green, friends who have been brewing professionally for 15 years. They met while working the packaging line at Ballast Point, where they both got to experience the extreme growth of a beer brand that was eventually distributed across the United States and several countries abroad.
They decided to break away and open a neighborhood brewery that makes small batch beers with a focus on high-quality wholesome ingredients. Aaron and Brandon are also outdoor enthusiasts who enjoy hiking local trails and all the wonderful state and national parks here in California. It's the driving force for our focus on sustainability within the brewery.

We believe in the old adage “you are what you eat”. Beer is food, so it is imperative that we only source the highest quality, most wholesome ingredients, using organic whenever possible. We will not use artificial flavors, extracts or any other heavily processed foods, animal-based products, or GMO. Nor will we use any ingredient that has a name we cannot pronounce. You can rest assured that we did our due diligence vetting each ingredient. Sit back, relax, and sip with confidence!

All actions within the brewery and tasting room will prioritize our impact on the environment. Initial focus will be on minimizing our carbon footprint and will branch out as we explore new ideas and technologies. Our goal is to be one of the industry leaders in sustainable breweries.

We enjoy good beer with good company. It’s these moments with family and friends that enrich our lives. We look forward to integrating ourselves into downtown San Diego, developing strong relationships and assisting in the continued growth of the East Village neighborhood and downtown San Diego. It’s through these strong connections with the community that we will find opportunities to give back. Similarly, we look forward to inspiring, and being inspired, by the brewing community which we love.
