3R brewery is owned and operated by The Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians, who debuted their first location on the Rincon Band of Luiseño Indians Reservation in Valley Center. The OB location is the first outpost not on tribal land.

According to a press release, the new San Diego tasting room will “pay homage to the heritage of the Native Americans while engraining itself in the Ocean Beach community.” On the design front, one of the focal points is a large mural created by Indigenous artist Joseph Hopkins.

3R Brewery’s offerings include brews like Oasis Blonde Ale, Chief IPA, Rez Dog Hefeweizen and Red Rattler Amber Ale. The tasting room is still waiting on its food service license, but plans to enlist the talents of chef Ron Oliver, formerly the chef de cuisine of The Marine Room. Oliver’s menu will honor tribal food and incorporate many Indigenous American ingredients.
