Lightning Brewery is Poway’s first and only craft brewery established in 2006. It is famous for its German-style lagers and ales.
In 2018 they decided to reformat into a nano-brewing and to scale down their production from 1,500 bbl to 100 bbl. Lightning today offers constantly rotating artisanal small-batch beers together with their award-winning legacy ales and lagers such as Elemental Pilsner, Black Lightning Porter, Thunderweizen Ale, and Electrostatic Ale.
Lightning’s Old Tempestuous Ale was voted the “best beer in California in 2012” at the California State Fair. They offer their beers at the popular tasting room and biergarten next to the production facility.
