“Recently moved to the area and decided to stop in on New Years Eve for an early dinner. The place wasn't too busy, but still had a great vibe. We were greeted by Jade, who was super friendly and explained each of the flavors of the Hard Kombuchas and even let us try a few! I had the Key Lime Pie. Their sushi menu is extensive, and has the basic sushi rolls and also specialities. Jade also knew a lot about the menu and the rolls, and recommended the moonlight roll and the grandview. We also got other items on the menu. Overall, we highly enjoyed the place and are happy we have a taproom/sushi in our new home!!“
“In from out of town and this was our first stop, after many hours in the car. This place was on our radar coming into town and it was really busy (told us it was good) midday on a Saturday. Considering the crowd the service was pretty fast. Pizza was really good and we wanted to go back but never was able to get back. Had out two dogs and they were welcomed on their front patio area under the tent… even brought water for them.Pepperoni pizza was loved by our kids. Parents had the margarita pizza and a few hazy ipa beers, and loved them all. Dogs had scraps and crumbs they snarfed under the picnic tables, and they seemed pleased as well.“
“Visiting from Chicago and I’m a huge beer fan, especially hazy IPAs. Pure project has mastered the murky IPA. I was impressed with not only the beer but how knowledgeable the staff were. Bill served me and had spot on recommendations for what I was looking for. I could tell he was very passionate about the beer and the scene. Overall superb experience. It’s a must stop when visiting San Diego.“
“Would highly recommend to anyone looking for a low sugared, 5% alcoholic content beverage. Kove has a good number of choices, various samples and flavors to try (nice of the staff, who were friendly and welcoming). The entire place has a great atmosphere, indoor seating as well as outdoor setup. Kome on by to try the best yerba mate I have ever had.“
“I have had many great experiences here. I usually sit up at the bar and the staff are all super knowledgeable and friendly. One thing to note is that it can get really crowded on days that are sunny/summer days when the beach is crowded. This goes for all of downtown Encinitas. Lots of people bring their dogs as well so that is a huge plus“
“These NA beers are great! I stopped drinking alcohol a year ago and this has been my go-to beer. I most recently tried the Soul Sour, which was tart and refreshing. They craft it annually for Black History Month. I also tried the Lite, which was delicious and only 25 calories! I highly recommend.“
“The craft beers are delicious . The atmosphere is amazing. Great place to sit and drink chat with people or view Walkers by on Coast Highway. They also have art for sale by local artists. Siobhan was our sommelier. She was friendly and knowledgeable. I will be sure to stop by there every time I go through Encinitas.“

“This place is heaven. They have so many different meads to try and knowledgeable staff. The meads range from very sweet like lemonade to something more like a beer. The Lemon Cello is my personal favorite with its sweet and delicious flavor. The flight samplers are a good value for the quantity of drinks they give you. They don't serve any food but they are in a square with some other businesses that do serve food. Its a really great space to relax and enjoy with friends.“
“A tucked away (almost hidden), very casual bar with a laid-back atmosphere and good variety of beers. The decor is military themed. There is a handful of small tables, a couple of couches, a pool table, a dartboard, and a variety of games for entertainment.The beer selections change often, but you are sure to find something you like. Prices are competitive for a variety of sizes, and small tasters are at no charge. Saturday night bartender has a great personality! She was friendly and helpful about the beer offerings.Highly recommend you give them a visit. They may easily become a favorite brewery stop.“
“Great staff! Spacious & clean throughout! The establishment hosts several EVENTS ON SITE, from COMIC / ANIME MINI CONVERSATIONS to PRO WRESTLING IN their main hall in the rear of the building. They don't serve food, but they have a selection of FOOD TRUCKS parked near the front entrance & they happily let you sit indoors or outdoors to enjoy your food! MASSIVE PARKING LOT!“
“Stopped by because I saw the roll-up door was open. Usually they're closed when I've been in the area. I was blown away by the owner's sweet hospitality, welcoming me in even though he wasn't technically open and was preparing a delivery to a local high-end restaurant. (BTW, his ginger beer is sold at Seaside Market!) He told me a little about his story, how he got started and offered me a few samples to try, beginning with the award-winning flavor that had yuzu, mint, and something else. It was yummy! Looked like there were around 8-10 flavors on tap including a POG, matcha and ube. How fun is that! If you stop in on a typical day, there is some seating, merch to purchase and various flavors of ginger beer on tap to try. And the best part is you can take some for the road. I wasn't a fan of the ube flavored ginger beer but go try it and decide for yourself. There's gotta be some fans otherwise it wouldn't be featured.“
“Fun brewery in Miramar, on Production Ave just to the north of Miramar Road. Large warehouse type building with large beer vats, barrels, tables, and an outdoor "garden" patio. They have a great variety of beers/lagers/ales/cider and sodas. They don't serve food but they have a revolving set of food trucks so there is usually good food to go with the beer. Friendly staff and fun place to hang out with friends. Parking does get tight when they have events, but most of the nearby businesses are deserted to you can still find parking. Lots of noise from Miramar airbase with F-18c/d frequently taking off and landing. No issue with the USMC, but it does make it hard to have conversations or hold a more formal event.“

“Pretty cool venue!! Attended a work holiday party and had this brewery reserved for our department! Protector Brewery is one of many breweries in Miramar! There were outdoor/indoor seating and parking onsite or on the street. I'm not much of a beer drinker, but they had a decent selection on the menu board from IPAs to even fruity beers. I also hear they are all organic and gluten-free! I loved knowing that the brewery is owned by a Navy veteran and it's perfect for our company party since we work with veterans. The interior is welcoming, laid back, warm, and dim. It's a perfect spot for a small group or a date. The staff was also friendly and upbeat. They were approachable and seemed to enjoy being there. They had a taco truck with amazing Mexican dishes and even vegan options! I think the food trucks vary on the day. They also had fun games (i.e., dart board, kegs) and karaoke if that's your jam. It's super chill, intimate, and small. I need to go back and actually try their beer. LOL Overall, it was the perfect spot for a holiday party!“
“What a gem! We absolutely loved this place—the decor, the attentive service, and especially their beer options! I particularly appreciated their selection of lighter, less-hoppy beers. It's refreshing to find a place in the city that offers decent options on lagers and pilsners, in addition to the usual IPAs. I especially enjoyed the 'Oh Yeah!'We'll definitely be coming back for more!“
“A (literally) hidden gem. The restaurant rests beside a small pond, found only by following a trail from the parking lot. Sitting outside under a cozy heat lamp, my husband enjoyed trying several beers while I had a POG seltzer. The service was fantastic, and the food was the best we'd had in a long time. I thoroughly enjoyed the locally crafted sausages and the baked mac n cheese. I learned that the sauces and dressings are made in house. My husband had the ahi nachos - chips and sauces also made in house. We'll be coming back!“
“Good assortment of different beers, they’ve come a long way in their brewing, much more refined than initially…Liquid Jam, if left to warm up a little, gets a very floral taste… same happens to the ther of their beers, once they are not as cold, taste much better.As all breweries, the beers are served colder than they should…“
“Without a doubt. Burgeon Brewery production of the best beers anywhere. The large list of Burgeon IPAs is second to none. Then there's the Pales ales. Incredible. Pilsner popularity are on the rise and leading the pack again is Burgeon. To be fair there is a plethora of amazing brewery's in SD . Particularly north county coast. But the comparison of any to Burgeon isn't even close. If your thinking of visiting a few breweries while in SDs north county coast I would highly recommend you try them 1st. If you start at Burgeon the others won't be as impressive. 2 other very important aspects of this brewery are the people who work here. Very knowledgeable and strive to take care of anyone who walks in the door. See it every time we go. And the food trucks. If Burgeon has them , expect some of the best in town serving you.“
“Cool off-the-beaten-path place (Melrose and Diamond St in San Marcos) with fantastic micro-brews. Frank (owner) is a meister at brewing and it shows - creative and classic flavors abound. The porters, malts and IPAs all deserve a try - and don't miss the hazy and the tripel!! He even does "spa water (seltzer) which is fantastic. Beer tenders are friendly and helpful and well informed - check the calendar on the website for weekly food vendors and activities - lots of walk and bike groups meet here during the week for exercise and libations afterwards!“
“Stopped by to check out the brewery and the selections. I will have to say it is all good. Tried several of the beers and seltzers and all were worthy of taking home for further enjoyment. Nice bartenders and staff. Food is very good as other reviewers have stated. When you get the chance or time, definitely a place to check out!“
“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.“
“Division 23, a chill spot in Miramar, is a delightful hole in the wall, akin to stumbling upon a geospot. Though initially hidden in the back, where the garage meets the corner, ample parking eases any confusion. The IPAs are a hit, offering a cool sip for beer lovers. Opting for a recommended mixed drink, blending syrups with their seltzer, adds a delightful twist to the experience. The friendly and prompt service from the server enhances the laid-back vibe. Engaging in games like shuffleboard, karaoke, and even a hydration station adds to the cool, relaxed atmosphere. Division 23 is undoubtedly a top pick for those seeking a chill brewery experience with great drinks and a side of fun.“
“Came to Del Mar for a nice afternoon visit with the kids. Was worried about food being too upscale. Wanted a nice beer and tried WestBrew. What an excellent choice. I had the WestBrew burger with a side salad, and it was the best food I’ve had since being in California all week. Wife had the club and loved it. They have kids menus, crayons, and kids cups. Had the seal cove and was very surprised by its delicious taste. Great choice of IPAs. Super simple little spot and would def. Recommend to anyone who comes to Del Mar for a lunch spot.Kid-friendliness: Kid menu, crayons, kids cups“
“Rouleur Brewing Company offers an exceptional range of craft beers. Each brew I tried was a delightful experience, boasting unique, rich flavors and perfect balance. Whether you're a beer aficionado or just enjoy a casual pint, their selections cater to all tastes. Highly recommend for anyone seeking top-quality beer!“
“Staff at this location goes above and beyond! The bartenders here always have a great attitude and provide excellent customer service! I normally frequent Scripps Harland location but the mood and the staff here at One Paseo really exceed. Thank you for providing amazing beer food and customer service to everyone who visits.“
“OMG, the beer here is fantastic. It's different, fruity, almost like a juice bar, with a kick. I tried the 'Green Jello Smoothie Ale'. Totally delicious. One is not enough. I am prefer a blonde or stout ale and stay away from the fruity beers, but wow, this one was good. The service is very good, the server was more than happy to tell us about their beers. The place was much like you would expect at a place that was in its infancy, bare bones but not too bad. I have been to worse. It was wrestling night and there was a ring outside & some amateur wrestlers, fun stuff. When friends come into town, I'll take them there.“
“Such a great high energy Brewery in Del Mar right by the horse-track. Beer is phenomenal, food is great (good amount of options) and atmosphere is electric! We even got a rainbow to enjoy during our meal! One thing, this place is popular, parking can be a pain, but there is a pay lot right next door. Pricey, $8 for two hours.“

“On our North Park to Escondido trip with the crew, our third stop was at New English Brewing. They offer a wide variety of beers to sample in a spacious and inviting atmosphere. So far, every beer we've tried has been poured perfectly into their glasses and tasted fantastic. If you're in the area, be sure to stop by and check them out.“
“The "OG" Culture Brewery is kinda a hidden gem. It has the great vibe of a local, neighborhood brewery with friendly staff and not a pretentious feeling like some craft breweries unfortunately have. The layout is very nice with a front seating area and a "backyard" with upgraded seating facing the coast. There are some great options from IPA's, Pale Ales, Hazy IPA's, stouts, and even "seltzies". Come on a Wednesday night and it's musical bingo. Also a food truck may show up but check ahead.“
