"The Art of Beer," a curated craft-beer and visual-art showcase, will debut at Ballast Point Little Italy on Saturday, March 14, bringing together 10 hand-selected San Diego breweries for an afternoon focused on beer, craftsmanship and culture. Designed as an intentional alternative to large-scale beer festivals, "The Art of Beer" highlights not only what’s in the glass, but also the design, storytelling and people behind each brew. The event blends limited-release tastings, label-art presentations, and direct access to brewers in a more intimate, art-forward setting. Participating breweries include: 3 Punk Ales Brewing Co., Coronado Brewing Company, Fall Brewing Company, Harland Brewing, Pizza Port, Societe Brewing Company, Stone Brewing and more. Tickets are $30-off for a limited time, which means General Admission tickets are $29 (vs. $59), and VIP tickets are $99 (vs. $129) for early purchasers. BONUS: VIP tickets include a $100 post-event self-guided tasting tour of all 10 participating breweries. Ballast Point on Instagram
