34 Best Craft Breweries near Del Mar

“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“

“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 brewery is hands down one of the best spots in San Diego! The beer is absolutely delicious--some of the best I've had in the area. The staff is always so friendly and welcoming, and the owner goes out of their way to make you feel at home, which really adds a personal touch. I love the fun rotation of food trucks, so there's always something new and tasty to pair with the brews. Between the games, activities, and overall good vibes, it's the perfect place to hang out with friends or just relax. Highly recommend checking it out!“

“A refreshing quality Hard Yerba Mate made to taste in a nice garden atmosphere! The staff is superb and knows their Mate!“

“Love me some Run Wild!!! You made living alcohol free so easy and enjoyable!!! Cannot tell the difference, WOW! Oh, and I can get it at my local grocery store! Love it!😋🍻“

“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.“

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

“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. 💥“

“Battleground Brown is outstanding!!!“

“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!!“

“The beer! The best around by far“

“After playing pickleball for a few hours we were ready for a drink. It was a little late and these guys were open a little later so we went here. They have a great menu, I had the 3 Citrus Gose, which won gold at the Great American Beer Festival, and it definitely deserved it! He went for the Blackberry Hibiscus Sour and that was also phenomenal. They have food out back so we had a pepperoni pizza and it was just a great way to end the evening. Larry was lots of fun to talk to, from beer to baseball to music he has stories. Definitely a great place to hang out if you're in the area!“

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

“Singularly the best brewery in San Diego
Been going there for 10+ years

The owners are are family to me & my husband, have been awesome friends for a decade.

The beertenders are fun, educated about the beers & are all family to me

The beer is some of the best i’ve had in my life, my desert-island beer lives on the board, Drink this or the Bees Die

Being gluten-free makes the beer healthier for me, less pain in my joints, no bloating, & tastes amazing.

Overall 100/10 for me, now & forever“

“Eddy's an awesome bartender!“

“Great flavors, something for everyone“

“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!“

“Hands down my favorite craft beer and brewery in San Diego. AleSmith is not far from the extremely crowded Ballast Point brewery and is superior in every way, from the beer to the service. And not nearly as crowded. If you can visit only one brewery in San Diego, make it this one.“

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

“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.“

“Fantastic experience here. Respectful, friendly, and outgoing service. Good beer selection. IPAs on one half of the menu, everything else on the other side. If you're sticking with the non-IPA side, the kolsch, blonde, Belgian golden, and their stouts are all great. The Debutante amber all was a highlight. Vibe good here, too. It's a large, destination brewery, with lots of available seating inside and out. A handful of bar stools, too.“

“If you are looking for a dog friendly taproom with amazing beer, amazing staff and amazing food then you can stop here because you’ve found it. Been going here for years and would recommend it to anyone and everyone.“

“So I was not convinced this was an actual place upon first look at the reviews, but indeed it is and a nice place at that. It's small but cozy, with parking nearby. Located in the UCSD grad housing, you're guaranteed interesting people and the bartender is a lively welcoming person. Well curated selection of beverages and trivia on Wednesdays.“

“Delicious beer, I really enjoyed the browns.“

“Local Roots Solana Beach: clean, modern, and friendlier than a dog at a barbecue! Work or play, have it your way with rotating kombucha and chef's sushi menu. Wifi, TVs and indoor outdoor space make it ideal for people watching or mingling. Just a heads up, it's a bit pricer with fewer options than nearby spots like Station Sushi, but hey, quality ain't cheap! ?? ??

Also agree with other reviewers, James is a cool guy. ?“

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

“The restaurant is semi self serve when it comes to ordering. But it makes for a quick in and out kind of atmosphere. You check in at the bar and sit wherever you want. You order everything on line and they bring it to you at your table. The food and beer were excellent as always. It's clean and you can hear your friends/family during the meal. We love this place and are sad to see it leave this location.“

“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!“

“Darin was great! Thank you, our dinner was delicious“

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

“Seating next to the koi pond was the best. Appetizer never showed up. I knew that was happening when the table next to us, who ordered well after we did got our appetizer and we didn't. Thankful it was not on our bill. Mistakes happen.“

“me encanta la atención al cliente y la convivencia“

“Loved this spot! I did not expect them to have vegan options but they were able to do any pizza with vegan cheese and the staff helped me find a delicious option (the laguna) with lots of veggies! The pizza was delicious and I loved the crust! Staff was very friendly and helpful and in general it was a great vibe inside and out“

“enjoyed my visit... staff was friendly and nice atmosphere 👌“
