Shop Small this Season

Keep OB Weird: Why Small Businesses Make Ocean Beach Special

Ocean Beach isn’t just a beach town—it’s a vibe. It’s a community fueled by the “little guys”: mom-and-pop shops, hand-run businesses, and scrappy entrepreneurs who pour their hearts (and probably way too much caffeine) into making this place what it is.

Today, we celebrate Small Business Saturday, but let’s be honest—every day should be Small Business Day. Without these local gems, Ocean Beach would just be… beach. Don’t get us wrong, the waves are cool, but would OB really be OB without the quirky shops, cozy cafes, and places that somehow make flip-flops acceptable in December? (Spoiler alert: No, it would not.)

Why Shopping Small Matters

When you shop at a small business in Ocean Beach, you’re not just buying a product or service—you’re investing in the community. Every dollar you spend goes directly to the amazing people who live and work here, from the bartender who knows your IPA preferences better than your friends do, to the barista who can predict your mood by your coffee order.

Unlike big corporations, small businesses in OB give back in real ways. They’re the ones sponsoring your kid’s soccer team, hosting local art shows, and throwing epic block parties that make your Instagram followers jealous.

The OB Difference

Small businesses don’t just keep Ocean Beach running—they give it character. Where else can you find:

  • A shop owner who will barter with you over a vintage surfboard while swapping stories about the ’80s?
  • A local brewery that brews beers as funky and vibrant as the community it serves?
  • A boutique that somehow always has the perfect t-shirt for both your weird uncle and your trendy cousin?

These places are more than businesses; they’re gathering spots, conversation starters, and the heartbeat of our quirky little town.

Keep it Local

How You Can Help

Whether you stop by California Wild Ales for a pint, grab breakfast from your favorite corner café, or pick up a gift from a local artisan, you’re making a difference. Your money doesn’t vanish into some corporate black hole—it stays right here, supporting the people who make OB the lively, unique, and slightly weird place we all love.

And hey, if you’re reading this in flip-flops and a hoodie, you’re already living the OB lifestyle. High five.

Shop Small, Stay Local, Keep OB Weird

Small businesses are the soul of Ocean Beach, and we need them as much as they need us. So, let’s celebrate them not just today, but every day. Support local, spread the love, and keep this town the vibrant, welcoming, slightly offbeat paradise it’s always been.

Now, go out there and shop small! And maybe grab a Michelada while you’re at it. We hear California Wild Ales has a killer one—spicy mix optional, charcuterie skewer highly recommended. Cheers!

Celebrating Local Talent

A Tribute to Ocean Beach’s Vibrant Spirit!

Hey there, Wild Ales enthusiasts! Today, we are bursting with excitement and gratitude as we unveil a masterpiece that encapsulates the essence of our beloved California Wild Ales and the lively spirit of our cherished Ocean Beach community.

First and foremost, we must extend a massive shoutout to the incredibly talented local artist Veronica Bunas. Veronica, a regular here at California Wild Ales, has once again dazzled us with her exceptional talent and creativity. But this time, she took it to a whole new level!

Picture this: a stunning oil painting that captures the beauty of our brewery and features our wild creatures in all their glory. In her boundless passion and artistic flair, Veronica crafted a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that has left us speechless.

Her remarkable use of texture and technique sets Veronica’s work apart. With each brushstroke, she brings our little wild creatures to life, their fur and feathers practically leaping off the canvas. From the gentle sway of the palm trees to the frothy cascade of our signature ales, every detail is rendered with precision and care.

As we gaze upon this vibrant work of art, we can’t help but feel a profound sense of gratitude for being part of such a dynamic and inspiring community. Ocean Beach isn’t just a place; it’s a way of life—a kaleidoscope of colors, flavors, and personalities that never cease to amaze us.

Veronica’s painting stands as a symbol of the incredible talent that flourishes within our community. It’s a testament to the beauty that envelops us and the significance of honoring the unique individuals who enrich it. To see more of Veronica’s artwork, visit www.instagram.com/veronicafineart
