HopSaint Brewing Company

What HopSaint Brewing Company does

HopSaint Brewing Company is an independent craft brewery and brewpub operator founded in 2014 in Torrance, California, serving the South Bay community of Los Angeles. The company operates two differentiated physical venues within the same sub-market: The Pub (5160 W. 190th St), a brewpub with a full kitchen serving farm-to-table Southern-inspired BBQ from a 3-way wood-fired oven alongside in-house brewed beer, and The Ditch (1954 Del Amo Blvd), a taproom with rotating food trucks and outdoor patio. Production runs on a 10bbl brewhouse, yielding a rotating portfolio that spans lagers, pilsners, kolsch, IPAs, porters, stouts, brown ales, and fruited wheats; the program has produced a 2017 Great American Beer Festival silver medal and two 2019 Los Angeles International Beer Competition gold medals.

The business model is direct-to-consumer and entirely on-premise-led. The company is Brewers Association Certified Independent and reports no funding rounds, parent company, or wholesale distribution. Revenue is generated through on-premise food and beverage sales at both locations, takeout and delivery (HopSaint GO) ordered by phone, off-site catering with on-site smoking of meats and 24-48 hour notice, and physical gift cards. Beer pricing is per-pour (4oz at $3.00 up to flagship serving sizes at $8.50), and catering is quote-based. The customer base is segmented as the local South Bay community (primary) and catering customers (secondary), with marketing conducted through organic Instagram and Facebook, a Constant Contact email list, and Untappd for beer discoverability.

Headcount is reported at 1-10 employees, led by Head Chef Carlos Ocampo and brewers who represent the brand at regional events such as the LA Brewers Independent Beer Fest. In 2025 HopSaint has released four collaboration beers with peer craft breweries (Pfeiffer Brewing, Third Window Brewing, Eureka Brewing, 14 Cannons) and maintains a wholesale inquiry channel ([email protected]), signaling exploratory off-premise intent that is not yet reflected in disclosed revenue.
