Welcome to District Southern California

Founded more than 70 years ago, MBAA Southern California provides education, camaraderie, and support for our dynamic brewing community. We are home to a diverse and inclusive array of breweries, stretching from our sunny southernmost border to the beautiful Central Coast, from the Pacific Ocean to the majestic mountains and deserts, and including our friends in Nevada and Arizona.

We typically hold meetings twice a year. Each meeting includes technical presentations, a continental breakfast, and plenty of time to socialize. With members ranging from the largest breweries on the planet to the smallest nano operations, we work together to constantly improve our beers, processes, and relationships.
