San Diego's Little Miss Brewing To Close All Nine Locations After Nearly A Decade In Business

After nearly a decade of expansion across San Diego County, Little Miss Brewing will close all of its nine locations following one final day of service on Friday, March 14. The decision marks the end of an ambitious journey that saw the Logan Heights-based brewery grow into the county's most widespread craft beer operation.

Founded in 2016 by Greg and Jade Malkin, Little Miss Brewing launched in an industrial section of Miramar, with a theme inspired by the U.S. and its World War II allies. Over the years, the company aggressively expanded into numerous neighborhoods, opening tasting rooms in areas where craft beer options were limited. Among its milestones, Little Miss established the first-ever local beer venue in Lakeside, demonstrating a willingness to venture beyond San Diego’s more traditional craft beer hubs.

At its peak, Little Miss operated 10 locations, more than any other independent brewery in the county. However, despite this growth, the challenges facing the craft beer industry proved insurmountable. Following attempts to raise funds, ownership has made the difficult decision to shutter its nine branches. Following the closure, the Malkins will begin liquidating assets, including brewing equipment at their Logan Heights headquarters and fixtures at their various taprooms.

Little Miss Brewing's locations include its headquarters in Logan Heights, as well as taprooms in Chula Vista’s Eastlake neighborhood, downtown San Diego’s East Village, Escondido, Kearny Mesa, La Mesa, Lakeside, Normal Heights, Poway, and a bar inside Balboa Park’s San Diego History Center.
