San Diego Brewing Company

Very old school and classic pub with lots of light wood. Service was decent and a large selection of beers. Cheap flights and unfortunately nothing to exciting for beer.

'80s throwback brewpub in a stripmall location. Service was very friendly and efficient, generous with samples. They had food but we had already eaten. Beers were fine but not exciting. Worth a stop if you're in the area.

Located in a mall area. Feels more like a cheap restaurant than a brewpub. Loads of beers, but their own beers are not very competetive. One of the places I can skip on my next visit.

We visited this brewery in 2007, was amongst the first breweries in town. Their beers are ok, however not as good as the ones from their early peers. We liked the stout most. Not so much beer atmosphere, you do not feel any beer passion, more a commercial set up.

Visited once with womencantsail, after the Veritas 007 release.

This isn’t a bad place to hang out but their beers aren’t very inspiring. Actually that isn’t entirely true. Some of the house beers were good but there is one glaring blemish on their record, and that is Love Potion Number 9. What an awful beer. Never again. Service was pretty good and there is plenty of parking in the large strip mall parking lot. We didn’t eat but the food looked fine. We were just in a hurry to get to some more breweries before meeting up for the bottle share.

Stopped by a few weeks ago for lunch. The food overall was pretty good with good service. They have a good selection of guest beers but I tried some of there house beers. I felt they were good. The ratings for them on this site was average but the stout and ales I tried were tasty.

Sort of a sports bar vibe to this place. It was pretty empty when I came in, but that was good as we were in a bit of a hurry. Quite a few house beers on tap, but only a couple were really any good.

Brewpub that feels like a chain family restaurant that happens to have a pretty good guest tap selection. House beers tend to be buttery and not worth it in the local market. They’re still kickin’ though, so something is going right.

A very good place to go-50 taps, a couple casks and VERY tasty food (pork quesadilla was amazing!). have about 9 of their own beers and the rest are local or regional favorates. The watress i had was hot and very friendly. a very cool place!
