Abnormal Beer Co. is a craft brewery based in Rancho Bernardo, a neighborhood in San Diego, California. The brewery is closely tied to The Cork & Craft, a restaurant in the same location, for which Abnormal serves as the house brewery — a relationship that has shaped its identity as a food-forward brewing operation from the start. San Diego has long been celebrated as one of America's premier craft beer cities, and Abnormal carved out its own niche within that competitive landscape by deliberately stepping away from convention. True to its name, Abnormal Beer Co. resists the dominance of the hop-forward West Coast IPA that San Diego is famous for, instead building a portfolio centered on approachable, full-flavored beers designed to pair well with food. The brewery explores a wide range of styles, from bold Imperial Stouts brewed with ingredients like cacao nibs, lactose, espresso, vanilla, coconut, and maple syrup, to creative seasonal lines such as its playful "Pie Day" series featuring beers like Blackberry pie-inspired ales. This adventurous, ingredient-driven approach has become a defining signature of the brand. Abnormal Beer Co. has earned recognition on the national stage, including a Bronze medal at the prestigious 2024 World Beer Cup for its beer Eddie's Redux. The brewery has also grown its footprint beyond San Diego, with ties to a broader portfolio of craft brands in the region. It remains a standout example of San Diego's vibrant and ever-evolving craft beer scene.
