Port Brewing Company

We opened our doors in 2006, but our story begins much farther back...
In 1997, when Tomme Arthur was hired by Vince and Gina Vince Marsaglia to brew at Pizza Port in Solana Beach, California, he released Dubbel Overhead Abbey Ale, the first Belgian-style beer ever brewed at Pizza Port.
A series of Overhead Ales was developed, and many other Belgian inspired beers soon followed. Tomme gained a reputation in the brewing industry and with consumers for his interpretation of classic Belgian Style beers as well as a cult like following for some of the most imaginative free spirited beers brewed in America. The emergence of the burgeoning San Diego Breweries along with an American Craft Brewing scene spearheaded by breweries like Dogfish Head, Russian River, Southampton Public House, Avery, Allagash and Pizza Port helped foster a movement towards small scale single batch unique beers.
