Known for a full range of styles

Modern Times was founded in San Diego by Jacob McKean and brewed its first batch in May 2013 on a 30-barrel system in Point Loma, opening its Lomaland Fermentorium tasting room that summer. The name refers to a utopian community of the 1850s, and most beers are named after real or mythical utopias. Maui Brewing's parent Craft 'Ohana took over the company in 2022; since late 2024 the beer has been contract-brewed at AleSmith in Miramar, while the brand runs its own pubs and a coffee roastery.
