Smash burger was to die for. Super friendly staff. Will definitely be back! Sooooo flavorful. The cucumber salad is also a tasty side if you aren’t feeling fries!!!
Awesome brewery with n downtown San Clemente. Nice outdoor patio. You go in and order the brew that you like, they pour it for you and that’s pretty much it. They have a food menu which we didn’t try. I tried a couple of IPAs including their Gimme. Theybweee both leggit. Really enjoyed our time time there.
Best brewery food I’ve ever had. Korean Ruben sandwich is a culinary masterpiece, whatever the sauce that’s on the sandwich is insane I get it every time we stop in for beers. Birria tacos are great, the bowl is fantastic, everything on the menu is seriously good. Give it a try next time you’re on Del Mar 🍻
This was a fantastic urban brewery and tasting too to come across. Everything about this spot is top notch. The bear is great, the staff was so nice, the atmosphere was excellent. It's a great place to hang out for a beer. They also offer other drinks and alcohol for the non beer drinkers. There is plenty of indoor and outdoor seating for the size of this place. The tap list is really big too. Something for every beer palate. There is free street parking, but it can be time constrained. Sometimes you might have to walk a bit if it's busy. It's a great place to stop to warm up on a cold day or get out of the sun on a hot day. If your hungry for more than the snacks that they offer there is also several restaurants in the vacinity. It's almost easy to miss bc there is not a big sign on the outside of the building. This brewery has a second location where the ber is made, but highly recommend stopping by here for the fun and cozy atmosphere.
This is definitely a gem of san clemente. The staff is very friendly and welcoming. The selection of drinks is great. I had the peel top extra pale ale and it was exceptional. A shout out to my buddy George who cooks there. I had the al pastor tacos and they were absolutely phenomenal. Such amazing flavor. I will for sure be going here couple times a week from now on.
