Modern Times

Our core line-up focuses (non-monogamously) on aroma-driven, complex, flavorful, sessionish beers. We often brew hybrid styles, combining the features we like from established categories to create new, Island-Of-Doctor-Moreau-style mash-ups. We have an outrageously tasty stable of year-round offerings, monthly special releases, and rotating seasonal beers, as well as tons of special release and one-off batches, from hazy IPAs, to barrel-aged sours, to decadent imperial stouts.

Recent additions to our growing portfolio of beverage-magic include an entire warehouse--appropriately dubbed the Fortress of Raditude--dedicated to barrel-aging & special project beers, as well as fully operational brewing battle-stations in DTLA and Portland.

MODERN TIMES IS...
…an intrepid cadre of brewers, coffee roasters, and culinary wizards that began as a 30bbl production brewery and tasting room in the Point Loma neighborhood of San Diego. Modern Times is named after a beautifully crazy utopian community founded in 1850, and many of our beers are named after real utopian experiments or mythological utopias.
