Mike Hess Brewing is one of the premier craft breweries of San Diego. We set out with a mission to bring people together over great beer around great causes and were early on in the craft beer revolution. We were the region’s 33rd brewery—in fact, there were only 1,700 breweries in the entire USA back in 2010. We’ve enjoyed rewarding success as we’ve built our fan base and our team.  In addition to brewing and selling great beer at our 5 locations and throughout California and Arizona, we now are selling hand sanitizer.  An important part of who we are as a brewery is about how we give back to our community.  For example, in 2019, we raised over $100,000 for Pediatric Cancer.  We've raised money for many great causes!
