Brewed in O.B. Ocean Beach Brewery (4845 Newport Avenue) made its offi - cial debut July 1, aſt er teasing a late 2015 launch on social media last December. T e three-level restaurant sits four doors down from the O.B. Pier and capital- izes on location with panoramic ocean views from its rooftop deck. Permitting issues over the building’s elevator were partly to blame for the place opening at the slow pace locals call O.B. time. And it hasn’t just been the
past seven months — O.B. Brewery’s head brewer has

been eyeing this job since 2010. Owner Mike Tajran purchased the former community services building in late 2009 with plans to convert it to a restaurant. It sits across Newport Avenue from Tajran’s other beer-centric venture — Ocean Beach’s OG craſt -beer destination Newport Pizza & Alehouse — which dates to 1984 and has long lived up to its motto: “No crap on tap.” Brewer Jim Millea (pronounced mill-ay) has
been a regular at Newport Pizza since mov- ing into the neighborhood eight years ago. He remembers fi rst seeing notices for an ABC license at the brewery’s address not long aſt er the sale. “I heard rumors that it was going to be a brewery,” the 15-year homebrewer recalls, which got him thinking. “I always wanted to get into it pro- fessionally and kinda dreamed about actually brewing their beer.” A civil engineer by trade, Millea decided to
make this dream a reality. He spent time shadow- ing his pals at Home Brew Mart, the homebrew- ing supply shop in Linda Vista better known as the birthplace of Ballast Point. When UCSD started off ering a brewing cer-

Ed O’Sullivan, whose family was launching O’Sullivan Bros. Brewing Co. “I got to really learn from those guys,” Mil-
lea says about the brewers he’s worked with since learning about O.B. Brewery from his Newport Pizza barstool six years ago. He admits the business’ slow start has worked to his advantage, giving him time to build his résumé. Now, he points out, “I’ve got a lot of friends and colleagues to pull from, and a network of people who really know what they’re doing.” O.B. Brewery runs 20 taps, mostly guest
