Located in a small industrial space in Miramar, Hess Brewing is a new Nano-Brewery start-up that got my attention with all the internet buzz. It is a little hard to find in the midst of other small industrial related business but worth the search for a good brew with a small, everything open feeling. A plus is the 2 owners (both named Michael) are very open and friendly which is a nice change in today's world.
Walking in through the industrial style roll-up door you have the brewing area right in front of you. The main office is on the left and the brewery/tap area is in the back. All the equipment is in the open for the guest to see. The beers were fantastic, plain and simple. I would recommend the IPA or the Stout if you like strong well made brews
I'm really interested in checking this place out. When your business model is basically "living the dream on your own terms" I think your success is probably guaranteed (perhaps depending on your definition of success). I'd like to sit down and ask the two owners a litany of questions. More than anything else, I suppose I admire the balls that must be required to be so enterprising. Here's the link to the write-up they garnered from San Diego City Beat:
