Core offering

North Park Beer Company brews and serves award-winning craft ales and lagers, headlined by its proprietary Hop-Fu! IPA, across three San Diego taprooms (North Park flagship, Bankers Hill, and Crown Point Pizza Shop) that combine on-site draft beer service with food kitchens. The company also sells canned beer (4-pack cases), branded merchandise, and gift cards directly to consumers via its own Shopify e-commerce storefront that ships within California weekly, with limited wholesale distribution through Beergang.

Product overview

North Park Beer Company operates an integrated craft brewery and hospitality platform built around a single brand (K.A. McNair Brewing Company, LLC dba North Park Beer Company) with three physical venues — the flagship North Park Taproom, Bankers Hill Taproom, and Crown Point Pizza Shop — supported by two parallel product lines: a portfolio of canned and draft craft beers (North Parked South TDH Hazy Triple IPA, Holy Sheets! TDH Hazy IPA, Panoramic DDH West Coast IPA, and annual collaborations such as Hops for the Holidays '25 with Green Cheek Beer Co.) and a branded merchandise line (Pink Disciples of Fu! Tshirt, Black + Gold Laser Cut Triangle Patch Hat, Beige Simcoe Slammer Navy + Orange Tshirt, and additional apparel and accessories). The Build Your Bundle program unifies the beer line into a direct-to-consumer California shipping offering, while the three taprooms anchor the on-premise food, beverage, and event experience.
