Deft Brewing Brewery • $$
5328 Banks St A, San Diego - 6.32 miles

“Interesting concept for a brewery, focusing on European styles and unique takes on some traditional ones. Owner and head brewer is clearly passionate and was chatting it up with some friends over a few beers. If I was a local I’d swing through regularly. Pretty cool location inside a “Biergarten” with a winery and meadery as well as a pizza shop. Bartender didn’t know a whole lot about the beers but she was nice enough. I came for the cask but was told it’s only a Monday thing, which is an odd day for it. Will come back to try it one day, hopefully, bc you really don’t find it outside of the UK.“

“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.“

Prestons’ Ginger Beer Brewery •
8680 Miralani Dr UNIT 126, San Diego - 8.94 miles

“Really good non-alcoholic ginger beer! There was a surprising variety of flavors available. What was nice is some were spicier than others, so if you're into really spicy ginger you can get the original or matcha flavors, or for something more mild go for the POG for instance. They had some delicious meat pies available as well for a bite to eat. All their flavors are available to go on cans, the owner sealed some right in front of us. This was a really cool option in this complex, something delicious but not intoxicating.“

The Church by The Lost Abbey Brewery •

“Stopped by this beautiful Brewery/Bar after eating at the Doggos Gus next door. This bar is convenient located and you can order from Doggos from inside the bar with a tablet - how cool is that!

The atmosphere is very unconventional since it looks like the inside of the church but very cool - even has the church pews for seating.
There is a large communal table in the middle with booths on the sides. There’s a bar counter and a large selection of beers to choose from!

I had the Shoreveza Mexican Lager and the Every Everything West Coast IPA. Both great selections a easy drinks. Will definitely be back to try more!“

Dog-friendly patio and usually has a food truck. We went home a 4-pack to go!“

We highly, highly recommend Knotty Brewing for an event. The staff was *extremely* kind and attentive, the space was perfect in size and decor, the food and beverage selection was great! We made use of the outdoor TVs for sports, the cornhole section, and the private bar made it very easy to order.

Many thanks to the team at Knotty Brewing!“

“Absolutely Outstanding Experience at Harland Brewing & URBN Pizza! I recently hosted a birthday party for about 60 people at the Harland Brewing outdoor patio, and I can't say enough great things about the experience. The entire Harland staff went above and beyond—they moved and added tables, provided extra plates, turned on the outdoor heaters, and made sure all my guests were comfortable and well taken care of. Their service was fast, friendly, and incredibly thoughtful throughout the evening.

We also ordered pizza and salad from URBN next door, which was a huge hit. The food was delicious, came out quickly, and paired perfectly with Harland’s excellent selection of beers.

I would highly recommend Harland Brewing and URBN Pizza for any event or gathering. Fantastic staff, great atmosphere, and top-notch hospitality.“

Great beer tho. (Sorry but next time, tips will be $0 -- this is BS, not to mention fraud)“
