Itza Brewing

Itza Brewing Family owned brewery in San Diego, CA. If you don’t see us here we’re busy brewing & delivering beer, or going down. Itza is an ancient Mayan name.

Must be 21. Itza Brewing makes authentic, adventurous, inspired craft beer. We are located in Ocean Beach, San Diego, CA. We are on a journey to find and create new flavors to make the best craft beer. Our beer making is fueled & inspired by ancient traditions, scientific knowledge, dedication, dreams, an adventurous mind and a palate, and hard work. Itz

a Brewing name comes from our last name: Garcia Itza Niemi. There are only a few families left in the world with the name Itza. It is thought that the word “Itza” comes from Mayan words “itz” (“magic”) and “h(a)” (“water”). And that Itza means “Water Magician.” At Itza Brewing we strive to create magic from water: our craft beer. Our education and primary work is theoretical and intellectual. We missed being creative. Beer making is a science and an art. It combines our education and interests. We also love to photograph and do art. All photos and images at our website and social media is taken or designed by us. We hope you will find your own favorite from our selection of craft beers. Check our website, Twitter and Instagram for more:

Q: Why do we call this lager “Finnish-style”?
A: It has rye in the brew. A rare grain in beers. But in Finland rye has a role similar to rice in Japan or corn in Mexico for example, it is THE grain. In this lager you’ll have a glimpse of it.

SUOMI - a Finnish style lager (4.2% ABV). Cheers 🍻.
