Abnormal Beer Company

Its flagship Abnormal IPA has won two silver medals at the San Diego International Beer Competition since 2022, a track record that rivals 10 Barrel Brewing Co's single gold medal in the same category. With a taproom occupancy cost of $3,200 per month — 30% lower than downtown equivalents — the brewery stretches its $1.2 million annual revenue further, allowing it to fund a 5-barrel R&D system that releases one new experimental batch every three weeks.
