Karl Strauss might be San Diego's most under appreciated brewery. If you want to try the best of what they have to offer, stop... by this location and check out some of their barrel aged or delicious sour beers. I especially recommend the special events heldhere. The Changing of the Barrels Anniversary party is something I look forward to every year Read more

Good beer, good people, squirreled away in a small industrial area. Took the tour and sampled some beers, the Mosaic Session IPA... and Big Barrel DIPA were two that stood out to me. No food on-site and no food trucks present while we were there, but we wereable to get a pizza delivered so we could hang out a little longer and enjoy another beer or two before heading out. Woulddefinitely go back. Read more

This brewery is pretty chill. It's in a somewhat odd location at the end of a road but that just gives it a certain "coolness"... factor I suppose. Their beers are good and they have indoor and outdoor seating as well as some games outside so you can enjoythem with your friends. Read more
