“Tasty brew in San Marcos!”

At Rip Current Brewing we are going against the flow in the brewing industry by focusing on robust, flavorful beer styles from around the world. While the tidal wave of beers in the marketplace are lightly bready and largely tasteless lagers, we are creating a rip current by brewing beers that go against the tide engaging your palate with rich malty, big hoppy, sweet fruity and even some barrel-aged and sour style beers. Our goal is to give you the broadest variety of styles at our tasting room and let you tell us what you prefer. At Rip Current, we feel strongly that consumers deserve a wide choice of styles so they can decide what styles best appeal to their palates. Therefore, we will offer bold, uncompromising beers with flavorful expressions of many of the world’s top styles. We don’t plan on brewing just one or two flagship beers. Instead, we are going to focus on variety over volume and look to you, our customers, to tell us with your buying habits what beers and styles you like the most. Fortunately, we are opening with a recipe book containing a broad range of award winning beers, so the following tables summarize some of our initial thoughts for styles for your consideration. Click on the surfboard’s beer category list below to view some of the styles we plan to brew and to see what is currently pouring at the tasting room. Rip Current Brewing is the result of two friends who were avid homebrewers and wanted to reach a broader audience then the guests at our houses. Paul Sangster and Guy Shobe came up with the idea of opening a brewery in August of 2011 and have been focused on opening a brewery producing high quality, flavorful ales and lagers which capture our passion for craft beer.
