Black Plague Brewing – The Dark Age Misfits of Craft Beer

Located in Oceanside, CA, Black Plague Brewing is an award-winning craft beer brewery that transcends interpretation, leaving you with a mystical experience using a mix of sorcery, medieval incantations, sacred rituals of dry-hopping, and modern brewing techniques. It is their undying passion to create delightfully crushable beers (ales, lagers, pilsners, stouts, barrel-aged beers, and more) and an eternally epic tasting room experience for the local community – kid and dog friendly as long as both are on-leash.

Black Plague Brewing represents the misfits, renegades, underdogs, rebels, rule-breakers, nonconformists, hustlers, D-I-Yers, and all those who strive to be better, stand out from the crowd, and follow their true passion.

We talk with founders Jordan Hoffet and Jared Doss and head brewer Aeryk Heeg about the unique ethos and culture of their brewery, the inspiration behind the plague doctor imagery and taste their proudest creations, including an IPA borne from a collaboration with Tony Hawk.
