Local Business · San Diego County
Prohibition Brewing Company in Vista is closing after 15 years, joining recent shutdowns of Mission Brewing's East Village tasting room (August) and Ballast Point's Miramar restaurant. Sapporo is selling the Stone Brewing brand to Firestone Walker and Duvel Moortgat, closing Stone's flagship World Bistro & Gardens in Escondido where a revised WARN notice lists 272 layoffs. Officials in Escondido are working with the San Diego North Economic Development Council to find a new tenant for the site and provide job-training support. The closures reflect a broader trend: California craft breweries fell 5% from 987 to 939 between 2023 and 2025, while new brewery openings have dropped sharply amid rising costs and shifting consumer habits.
