"Pioneering San Diego brewery Ballast Point might have big Bay Area aspirations. The brewery, which famously sold to mega beverage corporation Constellation Brands for $1 billion in 2015, has filed for a beer manufacture license at 705 16th Street in Mission Bay. A 6,300-square-foot restaurant showcasing San Diego-style food like Baja-style fish tacos will be part of the new venue. Ballast Point is best known for its flagship IPA, Sculpin, and variations on it. News of its growth is in keeping with Ballast Point’s aggressive expansion tactics, including opening at Disneyland’s “Downtown Disney” area." - Caleb Pershan
