San Pedro Brewing Co

What San Pedro Brewing Co does

San Pedro Brewing Company is a single-unit independent brewpub founded in November 1999 by James Brown at 331 West 6th Street in San Pedro, California (Barton Hill neighborhood). The company operates an on-premises craft brewing operation producing ales and lagers including IPAs, amber ale, blond ale, stouts, pilsners, and wheat beers, with signature offerings such as the Longshoreman Pilsner, Bruin Blonde, Harbor Hefeweizen, Battleship IPA, and Shanghai Red. Brewmaster Jason Welkes produces hand-crafted, award-winning beers on-site. The company complements its beer program with a full food menu (sandwiches, seafood, BBQ, creative pastas, salads, kids menu) at price points ranging from $5.25 to $27, plus a curated cocktail, wine, and spirits list.

The business generates revenue from multiple streams: dine-in restaurant service, online ordering for takeout via the SpotHopper platform, off-premise catering for private events, and private dining/group event hosting for up to 80 guests. A daily Happy Hour program and a year-round events calendar tied to national food and drink celebrations (National IPA Day, Whiskey Sour Day, Taco Day) drive repeat traffic. The company is founder-owned and operated with a 7-person team, no external investors, no parent company, and no reported expansion beyond its single San Pedro location. Customer segments include local San Pedro residents, craft beer enthusiasts, sports bar patrons, and private event hosts in the Barton Hill area. The company serves the Los Angeles, California market exclusively.
