Barley & Sword Brewing Company

places/ChIJbwQ95v1V2YARMc31qtyueuY/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnb2IzU2h3RRAB

Unique and interesting concept with a medieval theme within a collective of other breweries sharing a common outdoor seating area with a few food options. Came for the cask ale and would return for the great lager options. In a sea of breweries focusing on hoppy beers, this is the kind of brewery that needs to survive the industry correction. Visited on a knight fight night so the crowd was a good mix of folks. Owner was making the rounds, great guy. Can’t recommend this place enough!

This place is awesome! I was in SD touring breweries for 3 days, sampling about 90 different beers, and this place was my favorite. All the beers are great (as is the can art) and all have a story. Brewer/owner Mike was a wealth of knowledge, and the thought and attention to detail in each of his beers is amazing. I, as a novice home brewer, was inspired by this establishment and all of its offerings! Well done, and have a great 2nd anniversary blast! Wish I could be there.

This place is amazing. If you like real ale (cask), it is a must try. Every beer on the menu is delicious. If your idea of adventurous beer tasting is the day you switched from Bud to Michelob, you might be a little intimidated, but don’t be. The staff is super helpful and will find a beer for you.

Best brewery in town. Every beer is unique and such good quality. Not to mention the owner and everyone who works here is so great! They hold a lot of events in the community and are a big supporter of other local businesses. Definitely a great place to give your business.

Sunny Grove Brewing Company

places/ChIJQVHtfgBX2YAR3iPnxkgkY7Q/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnNktpMmlBRRAB

Wonderful family owned/operated brewery! The atmosphere feels clean and fresh - not trying too hard (like many other breweries out there), but still very comfortable and inviting. Service is always great and the owner Scott is awesome. They have food trucks/stands multiple times a week with amazing tacos and pizza. Lots of seating both inside and outdoors, family friendly, and of course the beer is delicious. A great addition to the neighborhood!

First time visiting and we're so glad we did!

Large, long countertop bar offers upfront seating and there are quite a few table and chairs setups to accommodate both large and small groups indoors. Outdoor area was hosting a special event and was spacious as well.

Tessa made recommendations and took care of us while we were there. Between the two of us, we enjoyed a West Coast IPA (Vibe Check), DDHIPA (Double Trouble), Irish Red (Delaney's), Helles Bock (Bavarian Blitz), and Vienna Lager (Alpenglow). Each one was delicious and flavorful. Hard to pick a favorite!

TVs had the Padres game on for us to watch while we were there.

There are a wide variety of board games and puzzles to play plus some non-alcoholic beverages and snacks to choose from.

Kid and dog friendly. Spacious restrooms.

Overall nice environment to hang out with friends, unwind from the day, or go for a date.

Rarely do you find yourself in Santee unless you’re driving through or you live nearby, but had this on my list so we stopped for a pint. Not far from the highway and located in the classic California scene…an industrial business park. Clean and open space, standard for modern breweries. Owner and brewer is a great guy who is passionate about his operation and beers. Plenty of lagers and European styles, which these days is awesome as it seems every new brewery focused on hoppy beers. Food trucks and some good tunes out on the patio are an added bonus. Just wish this place was closer to civilization. Worth the trek? Maybe. Worth a stop if you’re in the area? Absolutely.

Blackbeard's Crafts

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTUNnbG83ZzNBRRAB

There are many beer establishments out there. So how does one stand out? Does it have a wide variety? Is it catering to beer people? Is it having a unified theme? Really there are many different things that make a good beer store and thankfully Blackbeard's has all these and a lot more. Highly encourage you to swing by and see what you can find. It's worth the visit,

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/Ci9DQUlRQUNvZENodHljRjlvT2w5emNWZ3RkRmxxVDNjM2JHMU9hbFo0ZUdVeFFXYxAB

I’m sure the beer is great but the person working in their store denying me any help when I got locked out of my car when I simply asked to use a a rack from their shelf to open my door and I would return it instantly. His attitude towards me about it saying that his boss wasn’t there and there’s nothing he could do just seems like absolute BS very terrible customer service as I was definitely going to buy some beer.  Any way.  Zero stars for being kind or supportive to one of the locals.

Even if it wasn’t pirate themed it would get 5 stars. Always have a variety of fun alcohols stocked and each member of the staff I have encountered has been kind and patient. Patient because most times when I am checking out I see another thing I want. Never felt rushed either.

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURBbU5IQU9BEAE

Great place to shop for wine and liquor.  They have an eclectic inventory of Japanese sake as well as tasty beers.  The decoration is also very fun.

places/ChIJizEkU3G7woARbItwaxgvKv0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJaTlpN1RBEAE

Been to many beer stores across the country but this one is probably the most legit. Which speaks volumes to whoever does the buying because beer only takes up half the store and the place is smaller than a corner market. Tallboys, single cans, intriguing bottles, mead, kombucha, cider...it's all there. Just don't come looking for typical domestic bs and you won't be disappointed. Literally every other store can satisfy that need. Come to this place for an experience. No two visits will be the same.

This place is a wonderful compliment to the entire BLVD MRKT concept. All good food needs great drinks, right?

They have an expansive variety of beers on tap. Whenever you visit, there is always something new to try. The samples are helpful, but the expert help is the best. In my experience, I have always been able to get answers to my questions and great descriptions of their offerings. A stop here will definitely put a smile of satisfaction on your face.

Such a cool hangout place for beers and food

They always have cool events such as tap takeovers and wine Wednesdays I usually find out by following their instagram

Cheers!🍻

I got the Mexican Lollipop because I love Mexican candy 😅. I got it with the rim and while it was tasty, I didn't know the rim was extra and it was pretty expensive for the amount of alcohol there was.

Service was great. The staff members were really nice and took the time to go through the different beers they had.

There are some tables inside but a lot more outside because it's located inside the Blvd Market, which I really like. There's street parking around the market.

Audiograph is a hidden little oasis downtown where you can get a cold beer from a friendly face.  You'll never have to wait long to be served and you won't have to fight anyone for a table or a seat.  They have special events some evenings (speed dating, stand up comedy, etc) but otherwise the environment is simultaneously relaxed and vibrant.  They have a decent variety of beers and they're all good.  Check out the seltzers if you want something a little lighter.  They don't serve food but they have never minded when I've brought in takeout from other local businesses or food trucks.

Special shout out to Christina and Dom, some of our favorite servers.

Don't miss Audiograph if you're downtown!

This brewery is very family-friendly, offers great parking, and has friendly staff, making it a welcoming place to appreciate these well-crafted beers. I enjoyed a classic German-style pilsner called LARS, which features a crisp malt profile and a balanced bitterness. I also tried LA Riders, a West Coast IPA with vibrant citrus and tropical fruit aromas!!

We are biased (we’re visiting from Athens, GA) but we love the Creature LA taproom! I’ve been here for trivia and to simply enjoy the patio on a nice day — the vibes are comfortable, just like in Athens. We love it and would recommend to others looking for a great place to hang and drink good beer.

For sure five stars. From Athens, GA, Creature Comforts values quality ingredients and good customer service. A standout in LA, where the opposite is generally true. CC pours 5oz drafts, too, which is awesome. I tried the Classic City, Goed and Bobo, and Winter Trees. All excellent. Recommended. Worth the mission compared to most LA breweries. GO!

I love that they always seem to have something on tap with New Zealand hops or a tasty San Diego IPA.

Tucked away between two buildings like a hidden gem, this brewery is seriously one of a kind. The vibe is super chill, with a cool, almost secret-alley feel that makes you feel like you're in on something special. You can really taste the difference in their beers—fresh ingredients make all the difference, and they clearly care about quality. It’s the kind of place you randomly stumble upon and then can’t stop telling your friends about. Highly recommend grabbing a flight and just soaking it all in. 🍻

Pure Project never disappoints! We absolutely love the welcoming outdoor space—it’s the perfect spot to relax and enjoy a flight. Their beer selection is incredible, offering something for every palate, from murky IPAs and bold Imperial stouts to refreshing hard seltzers and smoothie beers. We always opt for a five-taster flight, and it’s such a treat to discover new favorites with each visit.

Beyond the great beer, we truly appreciate their commitment to sustainability. Pure Project sets the gold standard for how a globally conscious business should operate. Plus, their dog-friendly atmosphere is a huge bonus! Our pup never wants to be left behind when we go out, and this is the perfect spot to bring her along.

Cheers to great beer, great values, and a place our little family—including the four-legged member—can enjoy!

I was in town visiting and my friend suggested this spot. There are a lot of tables and chairs and enjoy the sunshine or sit inside on the soft couch.

We went to the counter and I couldn't make up my mind what I wanted to drink so we tasted a few beers and they offer 2 different wines. I was not a fan of the wines so I opted foe the beers. I had the Lotus Sunset and my friends ordered their drinks. Another friend ordered the flight.

Overall, a great spot to hangout at with my OG Yelp Elites of SD.

Pure Project has consistently excellent beer and a great atmosphere. It's really hard to beat as a go-to spot to grab a beer and relax. This location has tons of outdoor seating where you can enjoy the great San Diego weather. It can get a bit cold at night.  There is a covered patio and a decent amount of indoor seating, too. The space is large enough to accommodate all sizes of parties. It's a pet friendly establishment.

Parking can be a bit challenging to find, but that's true if everywhere in North Park. Almost all parking will be street parking somewhere near by.

Fall Brewing’s new HQ, production facility and taproom in the former Saint Archer brewery location is a great evolution.  It has a very tropical ambiance and during nice weather, has huge roll-up doors open to let the sea breeze waft through.  Large outdoor Biergarten area in the shade.  The whole place just screams “comfortable” and is a popular location for small groups to socialize.  Great diverse food in the vicinity and since there typically is no on-site food, BYO is welcome and commonplace.  One fun fact that sets it apart from other establishments is that the restrooms are spotless and incredibly decorated with examples of some of the most inspired commercial art ever.  It’s like touring a gallery, but without the stuffy art snobs.

There has been a new pop-up sandwich guy there recently.  He is currently exclusive to Fall Brewing as he is just starting out and building a clientele.  It’s called “Wicked Rare Beefs” (no typo), and he sells the most incredible, tender and delicious roast beef sandwiches I’ve ever had.  He makes everything from scratch - BBQ sauce, rub for the roast, etc.  Sandwiches are made to order and portions are very generous - it’s a meal.
Currently, only Friday nights and he sometimes has a second sandwich offering - Pastrami, French Dip, Philly Cheesesteak.  All with the same quality and care in preparation.

Great beers, reasonable prices, fun staff, incredible ambiance.  Easy access just a block off Miramar Rd. Midway between 15 and 805 freeways in the “Beeramar” microbrewery district, so lots of other places nearby to try out as well.

great menu selection with options for vegan and gluten free. the menu is thought out, flavorful, and overall makes you feel good. great selection of beers and non-alcoholic mocktails and drinks as well. staff is friendly and helpful for finding the right thing for you. some of the drinks are an “acquired taste” as they taste “hoppy” but everything is local and well crafted.

Tirebiter Brewery

I ordered the filet and asked for medium rare. I got what was probably skirt steak cooked to well done. Maybe I should have known for $25? The other food was good, though! Also, the beer was delicious, the atmosphere was laid back, and they played great music. I would come back (and order something else).

places/ChIJaTIQh4HHwoARIneRlUMZUw0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJcmhwZkNPLU1YeEJnEAE

They have really good beers (loved the strawberry tart), good prices, and the employees are very friendly!

Stopped here before a show at BMO Stadium. Parking was easy! The Hana Honey is probably my favorite beer from any brewery, soooooo good!! The Shoyu wings and fried pickles are delicious!! Totally worth coming for food alone but the beer options are also very good. It was empty when I arrived which was surprising after trying the beer and food.

places/ChIJaTIQh4HHwoARIneRlUMZUw0/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNLamJyOUx3EAE

Really glad they're open! Great service and great beers. Out of all of them, their pilsner surprised me the most. Out of all the hazy ipas being produced by everyone, it's really nice to find a fantastic lager that anyone can drink. Don't get me wrong, I love hazys but the fact that this place produces a superb pilsner speaks volumes to their quality! Highly recommend! Take the expo or a bus to get here!

fyi to anybody planning on coming here the beer list is on the smaller side and the beer percentage is also on the lower side. i think the highest percent i saw was a 6% which in no way is a bad thing or a knock to them but we were looking for more options and stronger ones. other than that, the service was great and the waitress was very attentive. i'd visit in the future to try some of the food i saw on the menu which seems like this place is more of a date night so i'd be sure to visit under different circumstances. i'd also note that the restroom was extremely clean. lastly, the beer was good and there was really no complaints about this brewery.

The Church by The Lost Abbey

places/ChIJZSGTMkZT2YARB_Q5rdpwK6c/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VOTFY3X0RNbTlhZVl3EAE

Stopped by this beautiful Brewery/Bar after eating at the Doggos Gus next door. This bar is convenient located and you can order from Doggos from inside the bar with a tablet - how cool is that!

The atmosphere is very unconventional since it looks like the inside of the church but very cool - even has the church pews for seating.
There is a large communal table in the middle with booths on the sides. There’s a bar counter and a large selection of beers to choose from!

I had the Shoreveza Mexican Lager and the Every Everything West Coast IPA. Both great selections a easy drinks. Will definitely be back to try more!

This is a must stop when in San Diego! Mondo (sorry if I misspelled it) was running the tap room and was super friendly and picked out a couple beers based on my preferences.  Chill atmosphere, great setting, and I will definitely be back when I’m in town!

places/ChIJZSGTMkZT2YARB_Q5rdpwK6c/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNQa3BMX0J3EAE

Very cool spot located not too far from the Padres stadium!
Visited on a Wednesday afternoon, parking on street and across the street were both open.
The bartender (I spaced his name) was knowledgeable about the beer and had a very chill presence. Beers were as described and served cold!
Sonoran dog and elote cup were fresh and delicious.
Would recommend if you're in the area and looking for a quick brew and bite.

A unique concept - brewery in the former church! The service and atmosphere is great. There is also a place next door that serves decent food. It is dog friendly and a lot of people bring their pets. However, beer is average at best. I tried their stout and it tasted like a mix of moonshine and beer.

places/ChIJZSGTMkZT2YARB_Q5rdpwK6c/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VQZTE2OEM2OXNlX0FnEAE

An unusual place, but very compatible with the brewery for drinking. Exceptional ontap beer list.

Fall Brewing Company South Park Taproom

places/ChIJuyASihhV2YARyqOOrelGzi8/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnTURJMklEbHN3RRAB

Made this our first visit on a North Park brewery crawl and it was a great way to kick it off. Extremely friendly staff who helped us pick our beers as out of town guests. Nice little patio area to sit in the sun. Lots of locals were making their way in and out while we were there which is always a great sign!

places/ChIJuyASihhV2YARyqOOrelGzi8/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUNhb05lS2xBRRAB

Love this new location! There's a bunch of comfy seating but no standing room. Decor is fun and, as always, beers are fantastic. We had the Golden Rhino IPA, The Vulture red IPA and the All Systems Go lager. They were all amazing!

places/ChIJuyASihhV2YARyqOOrelGzi8/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURxdjgySXp3RRAB

Excellent new craft beer bar in South Park from Fall Brewing. The space is more chill and comfy than Fall’s tasting room on 30th. There are a mix of high-tops and old-skool big vinyl booths. Service is friendly and knowledgeable. Dogs allowed, as long as they’re not overly disruptive or aggressive.

places/ChIJuyASihhV2YARyqOOrelGzi8/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUR6NXMzMkR3EAE

I like their beers so I'm a bit biased. The location is very convenient as it's close to the Grape street dog park. This taproom is dog friendly. They have a patio off the sidewalk, which is nice if it's not too hot. Bring your sunscreen! :) Their staff is friendly and helpful deciding which beer you should try. My go-to is "Let's Go" IPA. I highly recommend this taproom!

Kelly Brewing Company

places/ChIJVVWRxowgjoARz9k0K_uc-24/reviews/ChZDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURUbmNEQVN3EAE

Cool spot hidden right off the main strip. Spacious indoor seating with pool tables and one of those multiple game arcade games that are all the rage now. Flights are about $22 for six 5oz pours. Popcorn machine is first come, first serve, which keeps the kiddos occupied. Outside there is a nice, large area for dining and enjoying live music. They also had a ton of swag to choose from. Weekly beer special was $8 for a four pack(two offerings).  The food truck offered good Philly cheesesteaks. While Kelly’s may have some stiff competition in terms of beer in the area, I don’t think any other brewery can compete with their vibe and atmosphere!

places/ChIJVVWRxowgjoARz9k0K_uc-24/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VKT3JsOWp0bHIzeW1RRRAB

So glad I found this place! Such a NICE interior for a brewery (ROUND tables are so conducive for conversations!). Two pool tables, 4 (I think) TVs above the bar, & free popcorn! We came on a Saturday evening, and a band was playing on the patio. It was pretty popular (lots of people outside.

It's a small property, so can get crowded, but we came early enough that we didn't have any problems.

I also like that it is a microbrewery, and that they actually sell kegs of their own beer to the public. I'll be back!

Excellent Beer and a great food truck! Lots of different options for beer choices, all brewed on site! They had a food truck with delicious food and free popcorn! We will be back again!

Kelly  Brewing Company is a family owned Brewery in Morgan Hill, CA. They have a wide variety of beer & ale. I do have a favorite. Pretty delicious. Something for everyone. Always remember to drink responsibly. The staff is friendly & knowledgeable. Atmosphere is fun & friendly. They do not serve food, so you can bring your own or on holidays or maybe just because there will be a food truck parked at the curb. You can sign up on email to get notice of new beers and events or go on their website or FB or IG. They also have live music on their Patio every Saturday from 5-8pm. There is indoor and outdoor seating with a cool bar long bar inside to sit at as well. Don't forget to check out the pool table. St Patrick's Day was fun with bagpipes playing.

There isn't enough room here to mention all the positives from Kelly Brewing Company. I will start with a small aside... I was walking around town and their patio with blooming daffodils caught my eye. The head brewer and owner was outside. He proceed to talk brewing shop with me, definitely an awesome bro. He invited me back to the brewery for the best beers in town.

🐶  pet friendly.

🍽 food truck parked on the street in front of the brewery. Be aware of what time they stop taking food orders.

⛱️ large courtyard style patio seating. Sidewalk seating right in front of the brewery.

🍺 everything that I tried was absolutely delicious,
Blackberry and Peach were my favorites. The Nitro Stout was a taste sensation delight. They use open fermentation, which is a unique style of brewing.

DTSJ Brewing Co

This place is a total gem! On our visit to Tillamook, we stopped at this tasting room and found it a place to "must visit".
We did not know what to order, so we started a conversation about the offerings with our very informative host. We tasted a couple of their beers, and we were impressed.
It impressed me so much, that I returned to get a few bottles to bring home with me to share with my small  brewery loving friends at home.
We will be back when we come back to Tillamook.

Small brewery, very friendly owners! You walk in tell them your name and when you leave they remember your name! Amazing staff! I believe I was talking to one of the owners Ron, amazing memory, adressing all customers by their name, very friendly guy! Recommend to try different types and flavors of beer!

LOVE the vibe, friendly owners, camaraderie, live dj spinning amazing vinyl, the casual feel and their local handcrafted offerings! Came to meet up with friends and their friends - I'm not a beer drinker and wow this place just turned me on! Lilikoi is my fave and will be back!! Food truck rotations on the weekends.

Wow. After our first visit, we can't wait to return. The beer is EXCELLENT. There is a wide variety and in each beer you can taste the high quality ingredients and care that went into each brewing.
Starting lighter, their Saisons were bright with a variety of flavors and an awesome aftertaste. I'm not an IPA drinker, but our friends were swooning over them as well. And their two stouts were both impressive too: not bitter but clean and fully flavored and down right delicious.
We'll be back for the beer but also to hang out in the awesome location that is inviting and relaxing. Great owners who care about their beer and customers. Go support this brewery!!

Monkish Brewing Co.

places/ChIJD_mtNa1K3YARHX7kr7pPjp0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VKRFlfc0xjcDhiVDlnRRAB

Monkish has delicious beer! First visit here was just what I needed. Staff were welcoming and very knowledgeable. Their service speed was top notch and very attentive. I wish the tap list was a lot bigger, but honestly I attempted to try everything and I failed plus got drunk. Totally worth it, each beer was unique in a phenomenal way. Their inside was wide open and comfy place to chill, but the outside was the best. A random food business was set up outside the patio fence, they had amazing tacos. This is one of my favorite places to chill before hitting up the airport. Overall if you love beer come here you won’t be disappointed!

Some of the best beer in LA (heck, in SoCal)! The prices are a little high, but it’s always worth it. They’ve added some great seating options outside, making this a great place to hang for a bit and enjoy the beer fresh.

places/ChIJD_mtNa1K3YARHX7kr7pPjp0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSURIcy0zdnZ3RRAB

This place is a must visit for anyone that loves hazy juicy IPA’s.  They are now in my all time top 10, maybe even top 5 breweries.  I sampled a couple and brought some others home.  All were highly rated on UNTAPPD and did not disappoint.  The location is easy to get to and they have indoor and outdoor seating areas.  There was also a pizza truck there when I stopped by.

places/ChIJD_mtNa1K3YARHX7kr7pPjp0/reviews/ChdDSUhNMG9nS0VJQ0FnSUN2bHRfMHFRRRAB

My fiancé and I grew up in the area and even though we're living in Santa Monica now we still frequently make the weekend drive for the best hazy IPA's around. This place is relaxed, has great food trucks in rotation (Highlights: Felice Catering Friday Pizza, Xijuana Tacos Dorados, and Alitas Jalisco Wings), and pumps out fresh beer every week. Stop by, have a couple beers on the patio, and bring some home to your family and friends! Shoutout to the friendly beertenders Clint, David, Matt, Selene, Stephanie, and Jose!

A local bar on a street with towing and car businesses. A hidden gem! Beer selection was good, food menu is delicious and a wide variety of pizzas, definitely try the birria pizza, not pictured is the bbq chicken! There’s also a ping pong and darts area in the back. It’s a great place for good beer and pizza!
