★ Award winningKnown for a full range of styles

Pizza Port began in March 1987, when siblings Gina and Vince Marsaglia bought a struggling pizza restaurant in Solana Beach, north of San Diego. Vince started home brewing in the storage room, and the first house beers went on tap in 1992. The business grew into a chain of brewpubs along the Southern California coast between San Clemente and the Mexican border, each with its own brewhouse and brewing team. Since 2013 the production brewery at Bressi Ranch in Carlsbad has packaged the core range for retail. The pubs have won more than 90 medals at the Great American Beer Festival.

Their signature has to hold across very different styles — which makes the notes that do recur more telling, not less.

What sets them apart
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with the wider catalogue across breweries making similar styles.

Notably more citrusy than typical.

Across 16 beers in 7 style families, one trait still carries through — a broad range makes a shared signature harder to hold.
