50 Best Craft Breweries near Chula Vista

Boochcraft Brewery • $
684 Anita St F, Chula Vista

“Boochcraft has been my favorite beverage since 2021 starting with orange pomegranate. That flavor stayed my fav but there is not a Booch that I don’t like. It is the BEST hard kombucha. The ingredients are clean, the flavor is spot on, the ABV is 7%, and the carbonation is sharp. None of the other hard kombuchas on the market come close. Unfortunately it’s no longer sold in Dallas, TX. And my heart has been broken! There is no comparison. Please come back!“

“I'm a newbie when it comes to brewing beer. I found Home Brew Mart while investigating the brewing scene. I'm so glad I found them. 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 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.“

“Came here to meet a group of friends to watch the Iran vs Egypt soccer game and Padres vs Dodgers game. The upstairs was closed, but the downstairs was packed with people both inside and outside.

The bartender was great. The beer selection was solid, and I really enjoyed their hazy IPAs.

We also tried their bbq pizza, and it was a standout. The crust was super crispy, and the flavor overall was really good.

Overall, this is a lively spot that’s perfect for watching a game. Tons of TVs throughout, great beer, and excellent pizza. It’s got a fun, social vibe and is an easy place to hang out with friends for a game or a casual night out.“

Hopnonymous Brewing - Normal Heights Brewery •

“Really good brewery, if not the best in SD. This is their second location. Expending while the entire industry is struggling is a testament to how good their beers are. Ordered a flight of 6 beers for $17. Not a single bad beer. They make a wide variety of styles, but the hazies and sours were the standouts for us. Great service. Friendly and knowledgeable. They have no problem letting you sample anything. Medium sized brewery with indoor and outdoor seating, but no AC inside. There are board games and TVs. No kitchen, but they allow outside food. Highly recommend“

Protector Brewery Hide Site Brewery •
901 Bayfront Ct Ste 102, San Diego - 7.36 miles

“The young lady that helped me today was beyond helpful. I think she was more than helpful and did above and beyond. I think the brewery was nice but I didn’t think it was the most convenient or practical. Considering it’s attached to the Intercontinental facing the harbor, there is slim to none parking. The area is pretty crowded too. During the day, the shaded areas were taken so it was hot outside. I think it is nice to be able to grab a couple beers and take a walk along the harbor… but other then that not for me personally. Much much better than the Miramar location.“
