Great beer. If you are looking for barrel aged sours and stouts this is your place.

Tony Aloy

Great place for a wide variety of IPA and sours... The peach sour was really good.

Amazing spot to grab a delicious beer. Lost Abbey has been around for a long time, and for good reason. This location is very close to the ocean and one of the best places to enjoy a sunset and feel the ocean breeze.

The atmosphere at The Confessional is fun and old world. The indoor setting is clad in wood and faux tree trunks. There is a huge bar, tons of booths, and tables to sit at. Indoor and outdoor seating available. On a nice day, they open the big roll-up door in the front. The staff is super welcoming and helpful. Its a great spot for parties of all sizes.

They have someone the most unique styles of beer you can get anywhere. They make something to cater to every palate. They are one if the few breweries that really offer some exceptional dark and strong beers year around. Their takes on sours are also exceptional.

Cold bottled and canned beer available to go. Parking can be tight, and it's time limited.

Incredible little pub with some of the best beer in San Diego!!!! You can also get food next door at the pizza joint, East Coast, which is great. One of my favorite places, cannot recommend enough.

Very polite service. I went for their more mild beers, like the blonde ale. The tea sparkling beverage was good too.
