7 Best Craft Breweries near Valley Center

“BEST kept secret of this casino!!! Been here multiple times and so disappointed not many people know of this brewery. Its across from the hotel unfortunately they are unable to advertise in the casino. They have karaoke Thursday and Sunday . Different events like UFC as well as food trucks on fri and sat. Looks like they have live bands sometimes . We enjoyed the karaoke host was awesome seems like lots of locals with some great voices. Beer prices for a pint $8 they also have 4 packs to go for $20 and swag for sale. Ambiance is casual and low key. They sell snacks like chips n nuts. Three large size tvs for sports and one HUGE one playing sports. Nice open patio with some games like corn hole. Definitely a place to hang have a few great tasting beers and some fun!“

“One of the best breweries in Escondido, it's small but has a great vibe and more importantly, great beers! Join the mug club and you get great pours for a good price. Some favorites are the tropic thunder and the fog of war, but everything is tasty!“

“We've stopped in here a few times now as a mid week hang out spot. Good alcoholic and non alcoholic kombucha options. Lots of little stashed away spots to sit, a neat ambiance. A little fun, a little cheesy, definitely commits to the theme. Personally we avoid live music nights, it's kind of all you can hear since the place is one big hallway. Cool place to add to the limited rotation of options on Grand.“

“Awesome small independent brewery in Escondido CA. It's definitely an unpretentious location that I love. I consider myself a IPA enthusiast and the Backyard Brewery's West coast IPA is one of my all time favorites. The owner, brewmaster is the bartender and is super friendly and can explain the ingredients of every beer on tap. They also have a store on site that supplies home brewing equipment.I live in Cleveland OH and spend a lot of time in North County. This was a great find and I'll definitely be visiting again soon.“

“This place has grown so much! I remember when it first opened and getting off the ground. Now. you drive by and it's packed. There is a different food truck there almost everyday. They stick to making great beer and allow the food trucks to deliver great food. Customer service is great! Dog friendly as the feed store is right next door. Love the pilsner!“

“I'll be brief because I'm gonna run over there to get a beer. The couple that own jacked up and are the Brewers onsite really have grown in their number of beers. When they first opened. I was there and I thought the beer was a little green. I had the West Coast IPA, I decided to return in the last few months and was very surprised at the number of beers, added plus food items. Their customerCustomer Service is on top. I think this time of inflation we're wanting greater customer service. I'm talking to friends that are spending obviously a lot more money and businesses have to extend more cost to survive. How we can get through this is customer service and being kind to each other. These are difficult economic times where customer service, smile or a short chat makes it all worthwhile to go out to eat or have a beer or a wine whatever. They have a lot of interesting guitars on the wall. You could even take it down to strum it a bit. Sometimes there is the drum set on the stage. I've been tempted. I played the drums as a kid, but not anytime recent so I'm not ready to make a fool of myself, but it's there. They have live events, live music it's happening place. Again it's a friendly and welcoming place. This families is doing a great job on the brewery. Jeep pals, American legion riders, or Harley let's meet up? It's spring for beer!“

“Much different experience then the last review i wrote for Stone. Dogs are not only welcome but employees were incredibly welcoming. The beer at Stone tends to be on the happy side, however there a couple of options - including an Alt style beer which was delicious. The food is good, I went the fish tacos but wish I had gotten a mix of three different tacos.“
