We are excited to bring another huge barrel-aged beer line-up to our North Park location. This crazy list will be available starting on Friday (29th), and will rotate as you consume these final kegs. Be sure to bring your growlers, as we will be offering crowler and growler fills for you to take some home to enjoy at your New Years Eve event and beyond!

We are sorry to post that we are selling Rip Current Brewing and will be closing both locations during December. The last few years dealing with COVID and the aftermath have been too financially challenging for us to continue. However, I'm pleased to say that another great brewery will be filling our space in San Marcos ... Craft Coast (from Oceanside)! They make tasty award-winning beer, so I'm sure you will enjoy their new location when it re-opens after some updates.
In 2011, two home brewers fulfilled a lifelong dream to open our own brewery. After the build out, we were so excited to open our doors in December of 2012. Guy Shobe and Paul Sangster oversaw Rip Current for many years and had help from so great people that were owners, employees or friends during those years. We are pleased that many have gone on to successful roles with other breweries on the west coast.
After 11 years, we will be closing our San Marcos location. It's hard to sum up how appreciative we are to the many of you who came through our doors regularly and let us enter a small part of your life. We heard many great stories, shared some amazing beers and enjoyed getting to know so many of you. Thank you so much for your support over the years!
Our San Marcos location will be closing on Friday, December 15th. Paul be bartending that day and looks forward to pouring you a couple and perhaps filling some crowlers or growlers to go. We would love to get our beer into your refrigerators as they can't stay in our cold room much longer.
The Rip Current North Park location will be staying open until Dec 30th, so we hope to see you there as well. Both locations will be pouring a bunch of our beers including quite a few vintage (rare) barrel-aged beers and offering to-go specials.
It was exactly one year ago today that the owners of 11-year-old Rip Current Brewing announced that
