Viejas Casino & Resort, San Diego’s premier luxury gaming resort, and Mission Brewery announced today the launch of ‘Viejas Golden Blonde,’ an American blonde ale. The light brew with subtle citrusy character is available at both Viejas Casino & Resort and Mission Brewery while supplies last. Within Viejas, guests can enjoy the beer at either of the two pools, inside the casino and at the many restaurants.
The businesses collaborated to bring the new ‘Viejas Golden Blonde’ to the local market, producing a beer that is meant to be enjoyed in the golden California sun. The brew combines citrus flavors with a hoppy punch to emulate free-spirited, yet fiery San Diego.
“When we decided to create a beer for the property, we knew Mission Brewery was the right partner,” said David Duran, Vice President of Food and Beverage at Viejas Casino & Resort. “Mission Brewery is one of the most well-known breweries in Southern California and has a knack for creating beers that are not only flavorful but unique. Once we described what we were looking for, Mission Brewery executed it flawlessly. We cannot wait for our guests, both locally and nationally, to try the new Viejas Golden Blonde.”
Located east of San Diego, Viejas Casino & Resort is recognized as a Forbes Travel Guide 4 Star and AAA Four Diamond Resort that features world-class gaming, a variety of restaurants and over 230 luxury rooms, including a lush, spacious pool and lounge area. The highly-anticipated adult-only tower, Willows Hotel & Spa is now open and offers an additional 159 VIP suites, luxury spa facilities, signature restaurants, including Locale Kitchen & Lounge and Ginger Noodle Bar, plus an expanded gaming space.

With over 25,000 total sq. feet and featuring a 2,500-square-foot tasting room, the brewery is known for its historic awe and award-winning beers.
