41 Best Craft Breweries near Encinitas

“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.“

“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.“

“I am Mexican , I usually go to TJ for tacos , but here these tacos are the best in this side of the border , the adobada has their piece of pineapple 😱“

“Outstanding in every way!“

“Chill spot. Very awesome and respectful bartender. I had a fly in my beer and she was able to replace it which I was beyond grateful about. I think this location is suited towards certain individuals but they do definitely have quality product. Any golf bros in the area, this is your spot.“

“Definitely a hidden gem. I went and saw stand up comedy there tonight and the staff was great. I will be coming back. Chill vibe.“

“We love this place. It has a great selection of mead and cider and the atmosphere is enchanting, incredible actually. They have entertainment and trivia nights and you could spend hours there. They also have non-alcoholic on tap. The owner is a dog-lover and offers doggie treats with permission from the parents. We especially love coming when a certain guest artist is performing, and upon our third visit, we noticed a reserved sign on a table at which we usually like to sit. Little did we know that the table was reserved for us..🥹 You have to check this place out. You’ll truly feel welcome and loved.🥰“

“The beer! The best around by far“

“Best open mike in town. Great lighting stage and sound. 🎶🎸 And a warm welcoming family vibe!“

“Love the atmosphere and the Foundation mead.“

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“Very chill spot with extremely friendly service and quality brews. They have indoor and outdoor seating, some fun games including card games you can use, huge jenga, and a few other ways to spend your time. They often have food vendors serving up freshly-prepared food out back, and do a fun trivia on Wednesdays. Nice variety of beers on tap, though my one wish is that they'd try a bigger IPA/DIPA. Apparently the owner and brewer disagree with this philosophy in this neighborhood, but we'll agree to disagree. I'll keep coming back; it's a great place to close out a workday on my laptop or expose my shameful lack of trivia knowledge.“

“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.“

“I found out about this place when I was searching for a brewery i never been too before and it was a great fine this my second time here and the beer are so good hugh fan of the mix berry seltzer and white sage beer recommended for everybody too come by friendly staff and a cozy a
Place close to palomar college.“

“always a great time, Wednesday trivia nights are brilliant“

“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!!“

“Good beer , great pizza, good vibe been coming here for years“

“Great beer. The Loma Alta is a great Mexican Lager. They have great service very friendly. I highly recommend you check this place out. We need to support this local establishment.“

“Went for some beer and food with my husband. The beer was from Barrel and Stave and was great tasting. Had a burger from Baby’s and those were both good too! Definitely coming back“

“I was greeted pleasantly at the wait to be seated area and was allowed to pick from 2 different tables. I picked a table that I could watch Messi in the world cup and also watch the planes land at Palomar airport. My drink order was taken immediately and not long after she put my food order in. I ordered a burger and Parmesan fries. I would have liked some free bread or snacks to eat while waiting for my burger. I was by myself and happy to see they allow dogs. I had a very good girl sitting at the next table over. Carlsbad Brewing Company has a very large selection of IPAs and beers of all kinds. The server helped me choose. She picked a good one. When my burger arrived it was the tallest burger I had ever seen. I had to smush it down a little to fit it in my mouth. Even with that I was making a mess. But it was one of the best burgers I've ever had so it was worth the mess. Even though I couldn't finish the burger I ordered the ice cream Sunday and it was also delicious. 10/10 would come again. Highly recommend.“

“I was apprehensive about trying this place, I thought it was just all Mexican beer. However you do not need to put any kind of citrus in this beer to make it taste good. It's actually good beer. The interior vibe is very nice and I thoroughly enjoy the most wanted IPA. I'm a fan. I'll be here a couple times a week at least.“

“Great environment and great beer!“

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

“Had a great dinner, our server Greg was amazing! Will definitely be back“

“If you are in the fashion district of Solana Beach or going to a concert at the Belly Up and are looking for great little Sushi place, go to Kai Ola Sushi! My wife and I were looking for a place to get some food prior to a concert at the Belly Up and came upon this great little restaurant. The vibe and atmosphere is very cool, the Sushi was delicious, and the service was great! The Sushi chef was very personable and friendly and even educated us on some of the Sushi rolls he was preparing, while we sat and ate at the Sushi bar.“

“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“

“I had an issue recently and contacted LRK. I wasn’t expecting what they gave me to correct the issue. OMG! I have been a LRK customer for almost a year now and I will continue! Great product and a beautiful company that believes in quality and taking care of their customers!! Please don’t change as you all get bigger at Local Roots!! Love you all!“

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

“🙂👍 Matt does a great job!“

“The ambiance is unbeatable: the fish pond, the outdoor patio, the relaxed atmosphere. The food is exquisite, and the beer selection is extensive. We come here regularly. I’ve ordered the Wagyu Royale burger several times; it’s rich in flavor and always perfectly done. This time I tried the gluten‑sensitive Mediterranean hummus (I’m not gluten intolerant). It came topped with chimichurri, fresh parsley, olives, roasted red peppers, and sundried tomatoes. The flavors were vibrant, and the chickpeas tasted wonderfully homemade.“

“Response to Billy Bob, I’ve never seen a grown man cry over a processing fee. And brush up on your Vocabulary big man, in your nonsensical fit of anger you said it’s about the “ righteousness” , when I think you meant principle. Me and the guy standing behind you laughed in confusion for a good 5 minutes after you walked out. Thanks for that:)“

“The service was exceptional Most of the food was delicious. The online menu lists things no longer available. The southwest Philly was lacking onions peppers and mushrooms like the menu claimed. I'm not sure if the waitress delivered a special order to the wrong table . The sauce on it was good ,but meat and sauce isn't what I ordered..and the bun enclosed the meat completely. However everything else ordered was perfect and delicious. Over 4.00 for one soda seemed high.“

“Great pizza! Amazing servers!“

“me encanta la atención al cliente y la convivencia“

“One of the best breweries in California. So many great choices for beer and way more variety and creativity than most breweries. They are known for much more than just IPAs and always seem to have something interesting and different on tap.
And then…the pizza. Pizza Port has a reputation for a reason. The crust, sauce, and cheese are excellent, and they are very generous with toppings. Everything tastes fresh and done right. Highly recommend coming for the pizza or beer or even better, both!“
