Pizza Port Brewing Variety Pack
The Pizza Port Brewing Variety Pack is a 12-pack of 16oz cans from one of California's defining brewpub breweries — born in Solana Beach in 1987 and brewing its own beer since 1992. Pizza Port packs are built around the brewery's hop-forward California core, the IPA-led line-up that made its brewpubs a pilgrimage for San Diego beer drinkers. It is available to order online at Del Mesa Liquor.

From a Solana Beach Pizza Joint to a California Icon
Pizza Port started as a pizza restaurant in Solana Beach in 1987; when the Marsaglia siblings began pouring their own house-brewed beer in 1992, the brewpub model that would spread across San Diego County was born. The flagship Swami's IPA — named for the Encinitas surf break — became a West Coast IPA benchmark, and the production brewery in Carlsbad now cans the core range for packs like this one. Find more California cans in our craft beer and beer collections, or on the Pizza Port Brewing vendor page.
Tasting Notes
Character: Expect the brewery's signature balance — hop-forward ales with clear citrus and pine West Coast character, anchored by the crisp, balanced finish Pizza Port's IPAs are known for. The pack format is the point: a brewery tour in a box, ranging across strengths and hop profiles can to can.
How to Enjoy
Keep the pack cold and work from the lightest can to the strongest; these are 16oz pours, made for sharing a few styles across a pizza night or a beach afternoon.
