Helix Brewing Co. Brewery • $$
8101 Commercial St, La Mesa

“LOVE this brewery! My husband & I wanted to have a spot to gather all of our out-of-town friends and family the night before our wedding and we knew we wanted Helix! Communicating with them was so easy - they made sure we had info about the food truck, parking, and everything else we would want. The most incredible part? They didn't even charge us extra to swarm the brewery with our ~90 guests.

Besides having the best, most chill vibe with delicious beers... they're just cool, down-to-earth people. We love you, Helix!“

Juneshine Brewery • $$

I live in Oregon and recently visited the tasting room while in San Diego- it’s beautiful and a fun vibe with great people! Definitely recommend, especially if you’re into kombucha! If kombucha isn’t your thing, pick up a case of their canned cocktails at the liquor or grocery store - you won’t be disappointed! Really clean ingredients and they are so good!“

Prestons’ Ginger Beer Brewery •
8680 Miralani Dr UNIT 126, San Diego - 11.1 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.“

It's truly a microbrewery almost a nano brewery. My favorites are the Irish Red and the Irish Stout. There is occasionally a pale or a blonde that can't be passed up.“

“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.“

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!“

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!“

Hodad’s Brewing Company *Closed to Public* Brewery •
9726 Aero Dr B, San Diego - 6.31 miles

“Run by the best people, with the best beer, serving the best burgers.This micro-brewery is top notch by every standard and, to get it this right on their first try is more than amazing.I got a private tour and it blew my hops off. And boy do they take it seriously, though the half pipe, rec room, and living room style lounge would beg to differ.The beer reflects the same fun yet dynamic nature that the crew characterizes as San Diego Sty-LEE. Business in the front and party in the rear. Not to mention, the array of flavor profiles they serve (on their first set of brews) will tickle almost anyone's palate that enjoys a frosty beverage while soaking in the sun.I am a fan and will definitely continue to buy beer from Hodad's. Now, let's get a petition going to have them start bottling and then distributing so I can get one anywhere.“

There is always a variety of beer consistently on tap. It's a great brewery if you have a large party too, much better accommodations than other breweries in the area. Almost every time, there seems to be some sort of food truck or pop up to grab a bite to eat.“
