Hannegan’s House Beer Co & Creamery Brewery • $$
1535 Tidelands Ave. ste c, National City

“This is such a great little place. If you want to come somewhere that there's no judgment, good beer, good people, this is your spot. It's out of the way which has its pluses and minuses. 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.“

Deft Brewing Brewery • $$
5328 Banks St A, San Diego - 8.32 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 staff were awesome—friendly, attentive, and made sure everyone had a blast!

The space is fun, laid-back, and perfect for medium to large groups. We’ll definitely be back for future gatherings—these guys know how to throw a good time!“

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.“

“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!“

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 Coco Ono a Pina colada hazy IPA. Also an awesome choice tith the pineapple nicely complementing the hops and the coconut being present but not overwhelming. Definitely stop by and have a taste“

Hodad’s Brewing Company *Closed to Public* Brewery •
9726 Aero Dr B, San Diego - 9.12 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.“

Boochcraft Brewery Brewery •

“I couldn’t review them through their site and I live in Dallas so have never been to the brewery in CA, but I will say this is the best alcohol infused kombucha I’ve ever had. As an avid kombucha drinker I was so pleased to find this in Whole Foods. The flavors are crisp and everything is organic and high quality. You can taste the love and care they put into their product. You still get all the benefits of kombucha but you get a nice buzz and the relaxation of an alcoholic drink. It’s def my new drink and am swearing off wine and regular beer for this product. Try it if you like kombucha and booze and you’ll be hooked.“

They have a patio off the sidewalk, which is nice if it's not too hot. Bring your sunscreen! :) Their staff is friendly and helpful deciding which beer you should try. My go-to is "Let's Go" IPA.
