“Great beer selection, friendly staff, and a really unique atmosphere. One of the coolest features of Brewjeria is the underground venue downstairs, which hosts live music and comedy events. The only suggestion I would make is to promote the basement stage more clearly inside the venue. As a first-time visitor, it would be easy to miss that there is a separate underground space with its own bar and events. A little more signage could help more people discover it. Overall, a great spot on Third Avenue and definitely worth checking out“

Deft Brewing Brewery •
5328 Banks St A, San Diego - 10.88 miles

“I've had a lot of favorite breweries over the years but this one is probably my current one. The beers are frankly unbearable. They have many German and European beers, and what they have rotatates. But they're always sure to have some from every part of the beer spectrum - light to dark, hoppy to good. The beer tastes the best in the city.

They don't serve food, but they share a courtyard with a couple spots that do. Food is closed 1 day/week. The other days, there is always something going on - live music, trivia, canasta - it's a lively and great place. Highly recommend checking it out! (On a day that the other Business (food) are open.

Street parking is ample if you're willing to walk ~1
5 minutes.“

“The team who works here is amazing. The beer has depth and character and the Hazy's.... OMG! Top notch! It is a San Diego must see/taste brewery. One thing that stands out as well is that the have sours but not traditional ones. They are not sour at all, more like a fruit drink. I can now bring my non beer loving friends with me and enjoy. There are two other breweries attached to this one as well. Three breweries who all have specialties so whatever type of beer you like you will find it it.“

I started by taking a beginner brewing class that taught me all the basics I needed to start brewing. I have now brewed several batches of beer using their recipes posted online. The guys are duper knowledgeable and have helped me successfully brewing my own beer. If I have questions, they have answers. If you are looking to start home brewing or just need a local source of ingredients and knowledge, you should consider Home Brew Mart. I'm definitely glad I did!“

The Coco Ono a Pina colada hazy IPA. Also an awesome choice tith the pineapple nicely complementing the hops and the coconut being present but not overwhelming. Definitely stop by and have a taste“

“We used to live around the corner but moved away many years ago. It was great to revisit KSBC and enjoy it just as much as we did last time.

Excellent service (and beer advice) from Taylor and it was also wonderful to chat with Bonnie.

If you get a chance to meet her, be sure to ask about the history of the place, and also “the photo” :-)

Food was terrific, and it was good to see they still cater well for vegetarians.

We often travel through San Diego on our travels, and try to stop here when we can. We haven’t been disappointed yet.

Thanks Taylor & Bonnie for the friendly welcome, great food & beer, plus the added bonus of some interesting conversation.

We look forward to our next visit.“
