32 Best Craft Breweries near Solana Beach

“Great staff and great beer. Stepped in while waiting for my friends train and ended up staying a while just got the atmosphere. I will for sure swing by again before the horse races. By the way Mikey the dog is the little fluffy white homeie“

“If you are in the fashion district of Solana Beach or going to a concert at the Belly Up and are looking for great little Sushi place, go to Kai Ola Sushi! My wife and I were looking for a place to get some food prior to a concert at the Belly Up and came upon this great little restaurant. The vibe and atmosphere is very cool, the Sushi was delicious, and the service was great! The Sushi chef was very personable and friendly and even educated us on some of the Sushi rolls he was preparing, while we sat and ate at the Sushi bar.“

“We came here on a Sunday after a family wedding the night before. 17 out of town family members from 4 states. It was fantastic! The staff was great and the relaxed atmosphere was was exactly what we needed. Aaron at the taps made sure the cold beer was flowing while the kitchen cooked up some amazing pizza! Thank you to everyone at Pizza Port Solana Beach!“

“Exceptional beers! With a wide variety of styles. Their west coast IPA and saison are my favorite. The staffs are very friendly. Stepped in 30 mins before the closing time but still got great service. Highly recommend!“

“The top sections on the menu are 100% plant based, and the second half has meat options. It sounds like they used to be fully vegan, so it’s disappointing they added meat to the menu. I enjoyed the Munchwrap and the smash burger was pretty good. Next time I hope to try the flatbread—they currently have one plant based flatbread on the menu.“

“Shh! Don’t tell anybody but Fall Brewing continues to be a top 3 brewer in SD. I’ve never tried a beer they make I didn’t like. 💥“

“Outstanding in every way!“

“Awesome selection of delicious beers! The absolute best non- alcoholic company!!“

“The beer! The best around by far“

“Awesome experience. Owner was extremely kind and helpful. We found the brand at a local sandwich shop and loved it so much to look into coming here. It was amazing!! Exceeded expectations. Great setting and unique way to try an amazing drink. Extremely fair priced and amazing atmosphere. Would recommend everyone to come here!“

“Don’t forget also a great compliment to the beer selection here is the amazing wood fire pizza with @pizzatrolley“

“I love this location. Been a handful of times. My first visit, was the first real time I have been introduced to Gluten Free beer. I have family friend who I believe is a “Celiac” and this brewery is one of the few that he can enjoy. I visited the Encinitas location, staff and vibe was off the day I went but here it’s always fun. Beer has gotten a little stale for me considering they always have the same product. So my only critique would be is experiment with more beers haha.“

“There’s no ginger beer like Preston’s. The quality is absolutely unmatched, he’s truly a master of his craft! They offer a variety of unique flavors, and every one of them is delicious. If you’re a fan of ginger, this is definitely a spot you’ll want to check out!!“

“Great beer and dog friendly. Outdoor seating on highway 101.“

“I thought it was enjoyable. Not only the beer, but the brewery itself was unique. They did have a food vendor in the front, but I did not eat. They have mostly indoor, and a couple picnic tables outside which. It’s hard to compare this location with the other burgeon locations because they are all so different. Wish they would offer a Happy Hour or a featured/discounted beer like how Harland and Pizzaport does.“

“It's not often I get back home to Poway, but when I do I make sure that AleSmith Brewing Company is on my list of places to visit. Easy to get to off Miramar Road coming from the north or south. We visited a Wednesday to start off our little beer crawl, as we had a family member from Maryland visiting.

It was quiet and not crowded as we arrived with a taco truck out front and smell of wort in the air. We opened a tab and ordered our beers, taking a set at one of the high chaired tables, looking back toward the brewery. AleSmith does good beer from the Speedway Stout series to the Tony Gwynn, .394 Pale Ale, they know their brewing.

We checked out the merch on hand from hats to shirts and glasses/mugs to golf coolers. AleSmith doing beer right in San Diego. We didn't go back for a second round knowing we were going to have a more beer to sample from other San Diego favorites. But if you want a good time, good beer, AleSmith is the place to go.“

“Great flavors, something for everyone“

“Another amazing events in the books for VBC. Thank you so much to the team at Protector for supporting the Veteran community and hosting our 9th Anniversary event. The team professionally planned and executed our event for 200 plus guests without a hitch! We look forward to continuing our relationship with your brand and planning future events!“

“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.“

“What a great end to the day! Meatball app to start. Could have used a straw to get the rest of the sauce it was so good. Kid got cheese pizza, girl got beautiful burger and I got delicious fish tacos. So many more items to try I hope I can go back. This beer menu is huge. My go to is strawberry blonde when I can find it. But kudos to a brewery that does sours too. I need a second maybe third trip to this brewery.“

“So I was not convinced this was an actual place upon first look at the reviews, but indeed it is and a nice place at that. It's small but cozy, with parking nearby. Located in the UCSD grad housing, you're guaranteed interesting people and the bartender is a lively welcoming person. Well curated selection of beverages and trivia on Wednesdays.“

“A Wonderful place for ice COLD BEER and yummy food...🔥😋🔥“

“Had a great dinner, our server Greg was amazing! Will definitely be back“

“We absolutely love working with Blackbird Sip & Co at our office. Their coffee is consistently delicious and a favorite among our team! Beyond the amazing coffee, their customer service is truly exceptional. They always deliver on time, bring such positive energy, and make us feel like a priority. They even remember me by name and are genuinely happy to hear from us when we call.
It’s rare to find a vendor that combines quality products with such warm, reliable service. We’re so grateful to have them as a partner. Highly recommend!“

“I kept wondering if Mrs Craig Vanessa was really an expert trader like they say, that she is not a scammer like the others, then I contacted her and I was shocked and amazed that with just $1,500 I invested, Mrs. Craig Vanessa helped me managed my account and after 7 Days of trading, I made my first withdrawal of $16,700. I'm here to testify the good work of her after she made a good profit for me in my investment. She's reachable via WhatsApp with the number on her Facebook: Mrs Craig Vanessa“

“The ambiance is unbeatable: the fish pond, the outdoor patio, the relaxed atmosphere. The food is exquisite, and the beer selection is extensive. We come here regularly. I’ve ordered the Wagyu Royale burger several times; it’s rich in flavor and always perfectly done. This time I tried the gluten‑sensitive Mediterranean hummus (I’m not gluten intolerant). It came topped with chimichurri, fresh parsley, olives, roasted red peppers, and sundried tomatoes. The flavors were vibrant, and the chickpeas tasted wonderfully homemade.“

“Good beer + big-screen TVs to watch sports + enjoyable, casual atmosphere = relaxation & fun“

“Darin was great! Thank you, our dinner was delicious“

“Great place to meet friends and drink beer. The best of times.“

“Karl Strauss Brewing Company is a great place to enjoy craft beer and a delicious meal. The beer selection has something for every taste, the food is fresh and flavorful, and the atmosphere is relaxed and welcoming. Friendly service and a fun vibe make it an easy spot to recommend in San Diego.“
