Well, people, the day is finally (almost) here! Beer lovers rejoice as we have a set day for the official opening of Ballast Point Brewery: Wednesday, January 16, 2019! Disneyland’s first-ever brewery will see a soft opening this week before the grand opening next Wednesday. The brewpub will then be open daily from 10:00 am -midnight.
The new space boasts a beautiful 4,000 sq. ft. glass-enclosed bar and restaurant in addition to a 3,000 sq. ft. outdoor beer garden featuring cabana-style seating and a family-friendly atmosphere—perfect for guests of all ages to enjoy. The main taproom offers seating for 220, along with several semi-private and private spaces, perfect for group events of any size.
To keep with the atmosphere of Disneyland, it will be a family-friendly environment, complete with a full children’s menu that includes crispy chicken tenders, corn tortilla quesadillas, and grilled cheese.
Guests 21 and over can enjoy a variety of beer options flowing from 100 taps including more than 50 offerings from Ballast Point Brewing Co. The Downtown Disney location will also have some limited edition R&D brews just for Disneyland. Hooray!
“Ballast Point is born and raised in Southern California, so we’re particularly excited to strengthen our relationship with the local Anaheim community and beyond this, the many guests who visit Disneyland each year,” said Ben Dollard, president of Ballast Point. “This new location also gives our passionate brewing and culinary teams the perfect place to test new and inventive offerings, as we welcome longtime Ballast Point fans and introduce new guests to our brand.”

An Update on the New Downtown Disney District Ballast Point Brewery at Disneyland Resort
I never understood why Disney doesn’t have it’s own brewery specifically for it’s parks or partner with breweries in CA and FL to produce beer found only in Disney parks.
Do we know if they will accept Annual Passholder discount yet or no?
Not confirmed but most everywhere else seems to in downtown Disney so here’s hoping.
