Karl Strauss Is the Official Beer of Carlsbad ArtWalk This Saturday
September 18, 2026
Carlsbad has always been part of our coastline story, and there's nowhere we'd rather spend a Saturday and Sunday than surrounded by local artists, live music, and the community that makes this stretch of San Diego North County special. Come stroll the flower fields, browse the booths, and grab a pour from our tent while you're at it.
We're bringing two of our own to the ArtWalk this Saturday:
Tower X IPA — West Coast IPA, 7.3% ABV Reminiscent of days of yore. Piney, resiny aromas up front, followed by a wave of fruity, citrusy hop flavor. Named for our roots at Lifeguard Tower 10 in Mission Beach, where it all started back in '89 — X marks the spot.
Karlitos — Mexican-Style Lager, 4.4% ABV Cerveza Superior. Crisp, clean, and refreshing, brewed with the same craftsmanship you've trusted for decades. Light, easy, and perfect for a sunny afternoon among the art booths.
One bold and hoppy, one crisp and easygoing — there's a pour for every kind of ArtWalk afternoon.
Look for the Karl Strauss tent along Armada Drive this Saturday and Sunday. Whether you're there for the art, the music, or just the vibe, we'll have a cold one waiting.
Here's the best part — our Carlsbad brewpub is just steps away on the very same street. All weekend long, before or after you walk the ArtWalk, swing by 5801 Armada Dr. for a full pour, a bite to eat, and a seat off your feet. Same great beer, full menu, and a little more room to relax.
Make a day of it: art in the morning, a proper sit-down pint in the afternoon.
See you at the ArtWalk — and just down the street at the brewpub.
First to the party. Brewed to last.
