Burgeon Beer Company Brewery • $$
6350 Yarrow Dr STE C, Carlsbad

“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.“

Modern Times Far West Lounge Brewery • $$
470 S Coast Hwy 101, Encinitas - 8.38 miles

“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.“

Artifex on Freeman Brewery •
1940 S Freeman St Ste 102, Oceanside - 1.19 miles

“WE LOVE THIS PLACE!!! We visited Artifex either the first or second week it opened, and we've been back nearly every weekend. Just a great atmosphere. Everyone is super cool, from the staff right down to the patrons. My last birthday was celebrated at Artifex and they were super accommodating. There are three eateries within walking distance. One is a pizza place literally next door. The pizza is great, and they will deliver while you chat it up and enjoy a pint. I really can't say enough good things about this brewery - but I'll try if anyone asks. Artifex Oceanside is great!!“

“I love mead. I’ve tried nearly everything I can get my hands on, including shipping things from half a world away. I first tried Golden Coast Mead today at the Poway farmers market and they are truly making something special. The booth was worked by a wonderful woman named Jessica who gave me a $5 tasting flight and let me in on a delicious little secret regarding sweet and sour. I purchased bottles of Wildflower Sweet, Wildflower Sour, and Triple Chili. Highly recommend. Stop by if you want to find out about the secret for yourself!“
