Perfectly located across the parking lot from Petco Park, this brewery was hoppin' full of Padres' fans hoping for a sweep against the World Champion San Francisco Giants. Housed in the historic Wonder Bread building, Mission Brewery's open industrial space allowed for beer lovers to enjoy their pint while watching all the action that takes place in the brewery. On this sunny Sunday afternoon game day, there were only two beertenders. This proved to be the only downside to the place. While the beer was tasty, the amount of time we had to wait to get served, by no means the fault of the two hard working ladies there, led us to head into Petco Park early to take in the sights.
Petco Park
For this beer lover, the only thing better than a beerventure is a beerventure with baseball. The smell and feel of a baseball park on a sunny day is truly unlike any other. Upon entering through the gates, we headed to get a beer. Fresh local beer was being served all over the ballpark. Being from Seattle and knowing first hand about the great beer served at Safeco Field, I was in awe of how many different local beers were available. Strategically placed individual brewery kiosks were abundant. If you couldn't find a favorite, all you had to do was head to the Craft Beers of San Diego bottle shop and you had your choice of over 50 beers. Besides being impressed with the selection, the Big Gulp sized craft beers for a reasonable price (under $10) were a welcomed sight on a hot afternoon. Oh, and as for the baseball game, Padres won and swept the series right out from under those Giants.
