“The beer! The best around by far“

“What a great experience.. great beer and an awesome place.. for sure will be backs and will bring friends with me.. cheers 🍻“

“great customer service and and good Knowledge of all the beers“

“Exceptional beers! With a wide variety of styles. Their west coast IPA and saison are my favorite. The staffs are very friendly. Stepped in 30 mins before the closing time but still got great service. Highly recommend!“

“Awesome selection of delicious beers! The absolute best non- alcoholic company!!“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“Great beer and dog friendly. Outdoor seating on highway 101.“

“This place has great beer, golf, and dogs. What more could you ask for? I've been a member for the last year and everyone I bring loves the place. The staff is always really friendly and inviting, they have a good group of regulars, and they have a simulator league that's fun and filled with lots of good folks“

“This place was awesome! We drove from Kansas City to check this place out and we were not disappointed. Absolutely fantastic beer and staff!“

“Shh! Don’t tell anybody but Fall Brewing continues to be a top 3 brewer in SD. I’ve never tried a beer they make I didn’t like. 💥“

“We love this place. It has a great selection of mead and cider and the atmosphere is enchanting, incredible actually. They have entertainment and trivia nights and you could spend hours there. They also have non-alcoholic on tap. The owner is a dog-lover and offers doggie treats with permission from the parents. We especially love coming when a certain guest artist is performing, and upon our third visit, we noticed a reserved sign on a table at which we usually like to sit. Little did we know that the table was reserved for us..🥹 You have to check this place out. You’ll truly feel welcome and loved.🥰“

“Birria Tacos are fantastic! Location fresh & lively and beers plentiful and delicious.“

“There’s no ginger beer like Preston’s. The quality is absolutely unmatched, he’s truly a master of his craft! They offer a variety of unique flavors, and every one of them is delicious. If you’re a fan of ginger, this is definitely a spot you’ll want to check out!!“

“Love the atmosphere and the Foundation mead.“

“Outstanding in every way!“

“Fantastic Brews and BBQ – A Must-Visit in Carlsbad

Burgeon Brewery has set the bar high for craft beer in Carlsbad. We stopped by on a recommendation and were blown away by their IPA selection. The DDH Juice Press was so good we brought cans home! Other standouts in our flight included Turtle Power, Treevana, and Cloud Chaser—all bursting with flavor.

The brewery’s relaxed atmosphere paired with BBQ from the Thumbs Up Food Truck made our visit memorable. The brisket with spicy sauce was smoky perfection and matched the beers beautifully. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a true gem.“

“After playing pickleball for a few hours we were ready for a drink. It was a little late and these guys were open a little later so we went here. They have a great menu, I had the 3 Citrus Gose, which won gold at the Great American Beer Festival, and it definitely deserved it! He went for the Blackberry Hibiscus Sour and that was also phenomenal. They have food out back so we had a pepperoni pizza and it was just a great way to end the evening. Larry was lots of fun to talk to, from beer to baseball to music he has stories. Definitely a great place to hang out if you're in the area!“

“Singularly the best brewery in San Diego
Been going there for 10+ years

The owners are are family to me & my husband, have been awesome friends for a decade.

The beertenders are fun, educated about the beers & are all family to me

The beer is some of the best i’ve had in my life, my desert-island beer lives on the board, Drink this or the Bees Die

Being gluten-free makes the beer healthier for me, less pain in my joints, no bloating, & tastes amazing.

Overall 100/10 for me, now & forever“

“Don’t forget also a great compliment to the beer selection here is the amazing wood fire pizza with @pizzatrolley“

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“always a great time, Wednesday trivia nights are brilliant“

“Blue Fire has excellent beer! I've been frequenting this place for years and I always had good beer. I have been brewing my own beer for over 15 years and I can tell you this place does it well! From IPAs to lagers, they are always on style and delicious. They usually have good food vendors and keep the schedule up-to-date on Instagram. Check it out!“

“Hands down my favorite craft beer and brewery in San Diego. AleSmith is not far from the extremely crowded Ballast Point brewery and is superior in every way, from the beer to the service. And not nearly as crowded. If you can visit only one brewery in San Diego, make it this one.“

“Best open mike in town. Great lighting stage and sound. 🎶🎸 And a warm welcoming family vibe!“

“Another amazing events in the books for VBC. Thank you so much to the team at Protector for supporting the Veteran community and hosting our 9th Anniversary event. The team professionally planned and executed our event for 200 plus guests without a hitch! We look forward to continuing our relationship with your brand and planning future events!“

“Great flavors, something for everyone“

“A Wonderful place for ice COLD BEER and yummy food...🔥😋🔥“

“Just had the most fantastic lunch. Caesar salad was amazing, fish and chips were the best I’ve ever seen, I understand the pizza had a little too much red pepper sprinkled on, but all of it was just delicious. They’re not open for a Sunday brunch, but we wish they were.“

“Absolutely incredible location in Leucadia with a chill atmosphere and welcoming tap room.First-time caller, so I went with a flight, obvs., of both West Coast as well as Double IPA's.Good but not great (hence the four stars), but gawddamn, Leucadia FTW, as this spot definitely wins for Location, Location, Location.Paz.“

“I was apprehensive about trying this place, I thought it was just all Mexican beer. However you do not need to put any kind of citrus in this beer to make it taste good. It's actually good beer. The interior vibe is very nice and I thoroughly enjoy the most wanted IPA. I'm a fan. I'll be here a couple times a week at least.“

“Are beer tender and host Simba was unbelievably fantastic! He shared some very interesting Brew and we had a great time visiting with him. If you'd like to try something different and have a good time definitely go to Creative Creature Brewing.“

“Had a great dinner, our server Greg was amazing! Will definitely be back“

“I had an issue recently and contacted LRK. I wasn’t expecting what they gave me to correct the issue. OMG! I have been a LRK customer for almost a year now and I will continue! Great product and a beautiful company that believes in quality and taking care of their customers!! Please don’t change as you all get bigger at Local Roots!! Love you all!“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“🙂👍 Matt does a great job!“

“Great place to meet friends and drink beer. The best of times.“

“The restaurant is semi self serve when it comes to ordering. But it makes for a quick in and out kind of atmosphere. You check in at the bar and sit wherever you want. You order everything on line and they bring it to you at your table. The food and beer were excellent as always. It's clean and you can hear your friends/family during the meal. We love this place and are sad to see it leave this location.“

“We absolutely love working with Blackbird Sip & Co at our office. Their coffee is consistently delicious and a favorite among our team! Beyond the amazing coffee, their customer service is truly exceptional. They always deliver on time, bring such positive energy, and make us feel like a priority. They even remember me by name and are genuinely happy to hear from us when we call.
It’s rare to find a vendor that combines quality products with such warm, reliable service. We’re so grateful to have them as a partner. Highly recommend!“

“Good beer + big-screen TVs to watch sports + enjoyable, casual atmosphere = relaxation & fun“

“Response to Billy Bob, I’ve never seen a grown man cry over a processing fee. And brush up on your Vocabulary big man, in your nonsensical fit of anger you said it’s about the “ righteousness” , when I think you meant principle. Me and the guy standing behind you laughed in confusion for a good 5 minutes after you walked out. Thanks for that:)“

“Seating next to the koi pond was the best. Appetizer never showed up. I knew that was happening when the table next to us, who ordered well after we did got our appetizer and we didn't. Thankful it was not on our bill. Mistakes happen.“

“After a long rainy day of parenting at Legoland we found ourselves at the brewery. I'm so glad we had Luna as our waitress because she provided some of the best service I have ever had at any other restaurant. As an out of towner we will be back for some good food, good beer, and hopefully some of the best service from Luna.“

“Great pizza! Amazing servers!“

“me encanta la atención al cliente y la convivencia“

“Loved this spot! I did not expect them to have vegan options but they were able to do any pizza with vegan cheese and the staff helped me find a delicious option (the laguna) with lots of veggies! The pizza was delicious and I loved the crust! Staff was very friendly and helpful and in general it was a great vibe inside and out“

“enjoyed my visit... staff was friendly and nice atmosphere 👌“
