25 Best Craft Breweries near Oceanside

“Sweet little local brewery with excellent product. Great outdoor space. The guys behind the counter are brewers, owners or both, so an informed choice of brew is easy. Wine tasting & food on weekends.“

“Best beer and food in Escondido! A great place to meet with friends!“

“I love mead. I’ve tried nearly everything I can get my hands on, including shipping things from half a world away. I first tried Golden Coast Mead today at the Poway farmers market and they are truly making something special. The booth was worked by a wonderful woman named Jessica who gave me a $5 tasting flight and let me in on a delicious little secret regarding sweet and sour. I purchased bottles of Wildflower Sweet, Wildflower Sour, and Triple Chili. Highly recommend. Stop by if you want to find out about the secret for yourself!“

“Fantastic Brews and BBQ – A Must-Visit in Carlsbad

Burgeon Brewery has set the bar high for craft beer in Carlsbad. We stopped by on a recommendation and were blown away by their IPA selection. The DDH Juice Press was so good we brought cans home! Other standouts in our flight included Turtle Power, Treevana, and Cloud Chaser—all bursting with flavor.

The brewery’s relaxed atmosphere paired with BBQ from the Thumbs Up Food Truck made our visit memorable. The brisket with spicy sauce was smoky perfection and matched the beers beautifully. Whether you're a local or just passing through, this place is a true gem.“

“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.“

“This is litterally a hidden Gem, with Cornhole on Thursday Nights and Barbecue to accompany a great selection of beers. I am a sucker for a good Red. If you have been here before, come again and check it out again. If you have never been here come out on Thurday nights, watch some Football, practice your short game or hit the golf simulators or better yet play some Cornhole with North County Cornhole. No experience necessary, just bring yourself and a friend if you'd like. NCC will take care of the rest.“

“Great selection of beer styles“

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

“This place is wonderful. I attended an event here last weekend and enjoyed the friendly and welcoming service and relaxed atmosphere. The drinks were great. Highly recommend!“

“I have been sporadically visiting this place since it opened. In fact, I would drive by every so often while it was under construction to see if it was open. I really enjoy their beer and staff. When they opened another spot in downtown Vista, I visited there often. When friends come into town, I make it a pint to take them there.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Had an amazing experience at Backstreet Brewer thanks to Kevin! He was absolutely awesome — friendly, attentive, and genuinely passionate about his craft. He made some of the best drinks I’ve ever had, perfectly tailored to our preferences. The atmosphere was great, but Kevin really made it special with his top-notch service and positive energy. Highly recommend this place and definitely ask for Kevin if you want a fantastic bar experience. Will be coming back for sure!“

“Outstanding bar and grill!!“

“After a long rainy day of parenting at Legoland we found ourselves at the brewery. I'm so glad we had Luna as our waitress because she provided some of the best service I have ever had at any other restaurant. As an out of towner we will be back for some good food, good beer, and hopefully some of the best service from Luna.“

“Interesting in the least on a Friday“

“Great pizza! Amazing servers!“
