Ballast Point Brewing Company Long Beach Brewery Review - 011

The boys are tackling a pillar of the west coast craft beer industry, and, arguably, the craft beer industry as a whole: Ballast Point. They take in some libations and guzzle down some grub at their new waterfront Long Beach location, taking in the beautiful view of the majestic Pacific Ocean...who’s imagery and wildlife are the very inspiration for Ballast Point’s nautical branding. Sold to Constellation Brands for 1 Billion dollars in 2015, is the now nationwide giant simply a “sell-out?” Or have they continued their commitment to experimentation and quality post corporate buy-out? Let’s dive into the likes of Sculpin IPA, Victory at Sea Stout, Fathom IPA, Grunion Pale Ale, and some experimental selections from the R&D section of their menu.
