Kilowatt Brewing Turned Two!
While Kilowatt Brewing Company just turned two, they have definitely already had an impact on the way people experience beer. Kilowatt hit the ground running two years ago, and have become the masters of their own domain. Instead of focusing on the styles and flavor combinations that everyone else was already making, they focused on making beers that were outside of the box. To add to the experience, they designed a tasting room and brewery that was as much a treat to your eyes as it was your tastebuds.
As we take a look down memory lane, let’s reminisce about the things that help shape one of San Diego’s most luminous breweries.
From Humble Beer-ginnings
Garage startups are always the first step in a successful company: think Apple, Google, IBM. Kilowatt is no different. Born out of the garage, Kilowatt was meant to be a brewery that was different.
From the start, Kilowatt focused more on unique beers like their Mango Pale Ale or their Coconut Chai Porter. By taking the road less traveled, they quickly gained popularity among San Diegans.
All of the Flights
In 2015, they opened up their first tasting room in Kearny Mesa. This however, was no ordinary tasting room. Have you ever wondered what Alice felt going down the rabbit hole?
Yeah, us too.
They took their namesake to hear, with lighting more akin to a Vegas nightclub. Black lights, LED’s, and funky colors illuminate the room while their beers illuminate the palate. It gives off a vibe similar to something out of the movie TRON and you can feel as if you stepped into the future.
Their innovation didn’t just stop with their tasting room. By continuing to expand and experiment with their beer menu, it was impossible to keep up with the demand; Kilowatt was growing a strong fan base.
No Blown Fuses
While many new breweries tend to crack under the pressure or get distracted by the limelight, Kilowatt has kept its spotlight on one thing: progress. They’ve continued to grow…and grow…and grow. The growth comes along with expansion and the opening of a second Tasting Room in Ocean Beach, this past March. To up the ante, they took their vibe to an entire new level with this new tasting room. Kilowatt OB features: a giant lite bright, a giant jenga, an outdoor patio, a black light room, and a giant black light connect four!
Although they fit the OB vibe and atmosphere perfectly, don’t expect them to stop there. They are going to continue to spotlight local artists, further integrating themselves even more into the community.
An Electric Future
It’s hard to imagine that Kilowatt was still brewing beers in a garage 2 years ago, with a following of almost 3,000 people on Facebook.
Kilowatt also recently announced that they will donate 75% of all sales of their Hoppy Saison on May 12 to the Lupis Foundation. This, coming in the wake of their epic 2nd Anniversary Blacklight Party and an amazing Grand Opening in Ocean Beach, proves that they have their priorities straight. We certainly feel that this microbrewery has a bright future ahead of them!
When asked what’s next for Kilowatt, Rachel Fischer, COO and Co-Founder comments, “We will be giving our Kearny Mesa Tasting Room a refreshed look in the next couple of months. Customers can look forward to new lighting, furnishings, and decor. A local artist will be incorporating some new art work along the walls. Following the Kearny Mesa refresh, our focus will be investing in a larger brew house to more efficiently accommodate our demand. We are so appreciative of the support we have received from the community and look forward to our future growth and continued commitment to provide our customers with unique styled, hand-crafted beer in our one-of-a-kind tasting rooms.”
So here’s to Kilowatt. Happy Birthday to you, our high voltage friend!
