Juneshine Brewery • $$
10051 Old Grove Rd, San Diego - 5.04 miles

“I am obsessed with Juneshine! I love the hard kombucha but I’m an even bigger fan of the canned cocktails. 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!“

Hopnonymous Brewing Company Brewery • $$
7705 Convoy Ct, San Diego - 10.12 miles

“Was there for a pint with my wife while in town. We used to live here before the full explosion of breweries happened. We just happened to be a few blocks away and I couldn't not stop in. Living currently in the Seattle we get a boon of fresh hop beers, so I was excited to try theirs. I wasn't disappointed and even took a crowler for the hotel. My wife is more of a new drinker when she has a beer, but I have her drinking a jazzy pale or IPA when we are out and she was super happy with the Slammin SD hazy ipa. Would definitely go back, but so many other spots to check out while we're in town.“

Prestons’ Ginger Beer Brewery •
8680 Miralani Dr UNIT 126, San Diego - 6.22 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.“

Ballast Point Brewing Miramar Brewery • $$
9045 Carroll Way, San Diego - 7.58 miles

“I've drank and eaten here many times throughout the years, why have I not written about Ballast Point yet? Like every respectable San Diego micro-brewery, Ballast Point has a vast variety of beers from light to dark, all delicious in their own way.

But what makes Ballast Point way better than the rest, is the fact that they serve really good food here, very reasonable prices. The complete opposite of high priced small portioned foods from a food truck.
$18 Fish and Chips...big fresh beer battered fish..better than most!
$20 Brazino, pan seared to perfection, the sauces is amazing! This could easily be a $30-50 entree at another restaurant. Wife was very happy!
Pizzas and Brussel Spouts are good too.

If you and your pals are talking about hitting up a brewery, and you want good beer and REAL food, Ballast Point is your friend!“

BNS Brewing and Distillery Bar • $
10960 Wheatlands Ave, Santee - 9.42 miles

“I had the pleasure of visiting BNS Brewing and Distillery in Santee, California, and it was an experience worth talking about. The brewery exudes a welcoming atmosphere with its rustic yet laid-back charm, making it the perfect spot for both regulars and newcomers. On this visit, I was there to watch my friend compete in a lively cornhole tournament, which was one of the highlights of the night. The event was impressively organized, with smooth registration, clearly designated playing areas, and a schedule that kept everything running seamlessly. It was fantastic to see a mix of serious competitors and casual players enjoying themselves and interacting in friendly competition.

The crowd added to the experience with their energy—cheering, laughing, and sharing moments that brought everyone together. Whether you were there to play or just watch, like I was, the enthusiasm was infectious. The staff at BNS played a big part in creating such an enjoyable atmosphere, always attentive and ensuring everyone had a great time.

Beyond the event, BNS Brewery’s craft beers and distilled beverages were exceptional. With a diverse range of flavors to choose from, there’s truly something for everyone. For anyone looking for a place that blends community spirit, good drinks, and quality entertainment, BNS Brewing and Distillery is a must-visit. I highly recommend it!
Shout out to AJ Bell and Emilio!“
