50 Best Craft Breweries near Cardiff

“The beer! The best around by far“

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

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

“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.“

“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!“

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

“Cody is the man. Great place for families and a cute date, all around good vibes. The beer is fantastic. Seating areas clean and organized. They also have board games in a a/c area with a TV and darts. You have to try the cucumber jade 10/10“

“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. 💥“

“Love this spot. Definitely has its own thing going on. Koo’s creations are so good, easy drinking, don’t make you feel bloated and are not sugar heavy. His beer reminds of how San Diego used to be early 2000’s, cleans and simple but good. Japanese dark lager is definitely a favorites amongst a lot of people.

Also Wed-Sat there are popups there serving all kinds of food!“

“Outstanding in every way!“

“Chill spot. Very awesome and respectful bartender. I had a fly in my beer and she was able to replace it which I was beyond grateful about. I think this location is suited towards certain individuals but they do definitely have quality product. Any golf bros in the area, this is your spot.“

“Awesome experience. Owner was extremely kind and helpful. We found the brand at a local sandwich shop and loved it so much to look into coming here. It was amazing!! Exceeded expectations. Great setting and unique way to try an amazing drink. Extremely fair priced and amazing atmosphere. Would recommend everyone to come here!“

“Fantastic product! The drinks are all tasty! Wonderful substitute for beer. Excellent customer service. We had a drink explode during shipping and customer service handled it immediately. We have had a subscription for multiple years and will definitely renew.“

“I work somewhat local, and I always wanted to try this place. They seem like a “tucked away” brewery. I think too many people neglected this underdog of a brewery. They have a clean establishment and it’s pretty simple too!

The bartender Ryan was incredibly knowledge and personable. He did a great job informing me on your product and making me feel valued as a customer.

The interior was a bit bear and underwhelming, but it was simple and clean. It was really empty on a Saturday afternoonish time, and there was only one patron. I felt bad for the food vendor, but it didn’t seem that inviting either. Atleast the UPS guy gave him business.

Location is a bit random imo (probably the biggest killer of foot traffic for them) but I think they have a great facility and parking lot.

I think I might have heard of this organization thru a guest tap somewhere… or else I wouldn’t have cared to come out of my way and check y’all out.

I had the fest bier. It was a good beer. I think they have good variety but I wasn’t able to try a couple and get a good feeling of the overall beers. Great spot but a lil tough for me to come back since it’s not as convenient.

Gl and cheers“

“So fun! I loved this medieval-themed bar - John was my favorite bar maiden! There were lots of games to choose from, and they had a yummy selection of meads and ciders. I definitely recommend checking out AZ Trivia on Thursdays too! 🍻🏰“

“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.“

“The best kept secret in North County, I’ll say it! Absolutely love the team here & this brewery is rad for so many reasons. The menu of drinks had great beer, seltzers, and NA options (which feels nice when bringing friends!). Their space is also huge; so many different parts of the brewery that you can hangout at and doesn’t feel like you’re on top of one another.“

“I'm a volunteer for Rescue Fenix/ Rescate Fenix AC and you recently hosted an adoption/ 10 yr anniversary for our organization. Your kindness is greatly appreciated and this isn't your first either. I can't wait for the next one. Volunteering is hard work and your beers aren't just refreshing, they're absolutely delicious.
Blessings to you, those of you that work there and dog lovers everywhere. ❤🐾🤎“

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

“Great flavors, something for everyone“

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

“I am Mexican , I usually go to TJ for tacos , but here these tacos are the best in this side of the border , the adobada has their piece of pineapple 😱“

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

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

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“Edit, post-move to Keystone:
Equally nice to have The Lost Abbey in their own space in Vista again. Plenty of space to stretch out. The beer is as good as ever, with plenty on the menu. The pinball games are a nice and affordable addition for entertainment. BYO food most days.

Original review:
Great to have a Lost Abbey off the 78 again! Always a treat to have their top tier Belgians on tap. Even saw Cuvee de Tomme and Duck Duck Gose there. They also have newer IPA options. Shared space with the original building owners, Mother Earth with their classic and experimental American styles. Beers average $8. NA drinks in cans. Minimal snacks. No frills, one stop brewery.“

“Definitely a hidden gem. I went and saw stand up comedy there tonight and the staff was great. I will be coming back. Chill vibe.“

“Such a nice, big space in a great location. The bartender was super sweet to my boys and gave them a doggy biscuit and they have multiple water bowls. It is dog friendly inside and out, but with a pretty day we sat outside. 9 more dogs ended up coming while we sipped our drink, all were happy and welcomed. Nice, crisp beer“

“Fantastic product! The drinks are all tasty! Wonderful substitute for beer. Excellent customer service. We had a drink explode during shipping and customer service handled it immediately. We have had a subscription for multiple years and will definitely renew.“

“Mission Brewing at Sky Deck was our first brewery stop during a visit to San Diego. Located on the upper level of the Sky Deck food hall at Del Mar Highlands Town Center, it offers a relaxed setting with nice views of the surrounding area.

I ordered a sampler featuring Old Mission Lager, Everyday California, Pipe Dreams, and Dark Seas. All four were enjoyable, but the Old Mission Lager was my favorite that day because of its crisp, refreshing flavor. My companions enjoyed their selections as well.

Overall, we had a very pleasant experience with friendly service, good beer, and a comfortable atmosphere. If you're already visiting Sky Deck, it's a nice place to relax with a beer and enjoy the view.“

“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!“

“I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.“

“I hosted my promotion party at AleSmith Brewing, and it was an incredible experience from beginning to end. Erin was an absolute joy to work with — friendly, organized, and truly committed to making the event seamless. She made the planning process easy and ensured everything ran smoothly the day of.

The space was perfect for a celebration: beautiful, spacious, and welcoming. My guests loved the atmosphere, the outstanding beers, and the attentive service from the entire team.

AleSmith helped make a very meaningful milestone even more special. I couldn’t recommend them more highly.“

“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.“

“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 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!“

“One of our favorite spots in Carlsbad! The atmosphere is always so good, the beer selection is amazing, the food hits every time, and the staff truly makes this place what it is.

Steel and Cass are THE BEST. We specifically love coming in for San Diego Sundays because they make it such a fun time every single time. Such a great spot to come watch a game. The service is always incredible, they are so welcoming, so attentive, and they bring the best energy. They are a huge reason we keep coming back.

The beer selection is insane too. Tons of cans and bottles to choose from, so many great IPAs, and always something new to try. And do not sleep on the food. The burgers are all so good, the black truffle burrata is unreal, and the Getting Figgy With It pizza with prosciutto added, per Steel’s recommendation, is a MUST.

Perfect for lunch, beers with friends, date night, or just hanging out for a few hours. Great food, great drinks, great vibes, and even better people. Steel and Cass deserve all the hype. We love this place!“

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

“🙂👍 Matt does a great job!“

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

“If you are in the fashion district of Solana Beach or going to a concert at the Belly Up and are looking for great little Sushi place, go to Kai Ola Sushi! My wife and I were looking for a place to get some food prior to a concert at the Belly Up and came upon this great little restaurant. The vibe and atmosphere is very cool, the Sushi was delicious, and the service was great! The Sushi chef was very personable and friendly and even educated us on some of the Sushi rolls he was preparing, while we sat and ate at the Sushi bar.“

“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!“

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

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

“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“

“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:)“

“The food here is always good. I don't think anything on the menu has ever disappointed. Beer is also good, Karl Strauss makes a good brew. The mac n' cheese is always surprisingly good, as are their burgers. The atmosphere of the old sushi place makes for a calming meal, and the koi pond is always fun to check out while walking in.

Also I'm often amazed at how long this place has been here. I'm pretty sure I came often in the 1900s...“

“The service, food and beer were OUTSTANDING! The server was knowledgeable and had ready recommendation, going so far as to bring us samples of ideal beer pairings with the food that we had ordered. Great experience and we will be returning!“
