Thorn Brewing North Park

The location at 3176 Thorn Street was, up until early 2012, a local outlet called Home Brews and Gardens. The shop was loved by local patrons but owner Dennis O’Connor realized that he liked making beer a lot more than he did selling supplies to do so. He teamed up with avid home brewers and fellow San Diego natives Dan Carrico and Eric O’Connor to start the project that would transform the former, local, home brew shop into Thorn Street Brewery. The renovated space has been transformed into a beautiful tasting room with a 7 barrel brew house in a large, open, naturally lit, back room. Local designer, Pat Wilkening (Red Craft Custom Design), has been instrumental in the creative development of the property and has created something truly unique in the neighborhood. It is our sincere hope that our hard work will result in a place where you can truly feel cozy and welcome.
