Wow! We came here ( surprised my husband for our anniversary and flew 400 miles JUST to come here) to have their Red Trolley Ale on tap (my husband's favorite beer) . All their beers are great! What I did not expect was how AMAZING their food is! Wow! Asada fries were scrumptious. The Mac and Cheese options were fabulous. This is WAY more than just a brewery! This was a great treat for us!

We shared a really good hamburger. We both had the Boat Shoes Hazy IPA at 7.2%. The combo was perfect. This was our first brewery of this 2 day trip to San Diego. It did not disappoint.

I know they are known for their Mac n chz but if you like zucchini, you have to order it. Crisp, flavorful, Delicious. Of course the beer was on point too ;) I was killing some time waiting on someone to get to town so I was dining alone and the service was perfect. They would check on me, but not be overbearing. They even brought a different beer sample for me to try. Great food, amazing service! 👍

The food truck burger could be one of the best burgers I’ve had. Max and cheese pretty darn good and the beers hit the spot.

This place is amazing! Great beer selection, food is delicious, atmosphere is relaxed. If I lived in SD, I would be here all the time! No pictures before - pics after are proof of how delicious it was!

Seared ahi salad was delicious! One of the better ahi salads I've had. Very filling. I also tried the beer pretzels... the cheese was delicious. Relaxing atmosphere. Great place to meet friends.

Brussel sprouts and boneless wings were super good! They have 5 and 6 beer flights. Place was a bit more lit up inside than I would expect for a place like this.

Delicious beer, great food. The waitress we had was awesome. You have to order on their app but it’s pretty easy. We hit this a couple times on our visit to SD

Great food!!! The beyond burger was cooked to perfection! Literally just because it’s fake meat so many places cook it to death. They really brought a solid Bürger and fries. The beer is good and the service was quick and personable. Will be back, perfect after work spot
