The company’s first brewery restaurant, Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, located on Columbia Street in downtown San Diego, opened in 1989. It was the first new brewery of any type to open in San Diego in more than fifty years.

The company's first distributing brewery began producing beer in late 1991. Karl Strauss Brewery Gardens in the Sorrento Mesa opened the same year.

In 1996, the company opened Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant in La Jolla. That same year, the company’s distributing brewery operations were moved into a 22,000-square-foot home office and brewing building in Pacific Beach. In 1999, the company installed new brewery equipment at its microbrewery, which more than tripled the brewing capacity. In addition, the company opened a new brewery restaurant in Carlsbad, California, and under a licensing agreement with Host Marriott opened a Karl Strauss Handcrafted Beers Bar at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX).

In August 2000, the company opened Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant, Universal Citywalk in Los Angeles. The most recently opened Karl Strauss Brewery Restaurant was established in 2002 in Costa Mesa, California.

Besides being available at its own restaurants, the company’s beers are available on tap at many Southern California restaurants and bars, as well as being available in bottles at retail stores. Two big annual events held at the microbrewery include the Beach to Brewery Beer & Music Fest in May and its Karlfest in October.
