Coronado Brewing Co

Came out here with some friends while in town. Plenty of seats along the bar or tables. Plenty of beer options to choose from and if you aren’t sure then the friendly/​helpful bar tenders will be more then happy to help. Besides the bar you’ll have a view of the production line and packaging areas. Depending on when you are here it can be a little bit loud but that wont hinder your conversation at any of the tables or bar areas.
I went during happy hour and the prices were great. I paid for one round of 4 beers for about $ 18. I like lighter beers with citrus flavors. I like and recommend the Orange Avenue Wit. The beer was pretty tasty, refreshing, and flavorful. My friends tend to like darker, heavier or IPA style beers. They liked and recommend the Idiot IPA and Ilander IPA. There are plenty of options to take beer home whether you want beer off tap in various sizes or bottled beer.

One of the least tasty breweries in San Diego. Quality control seems to be lacking, one day a beer will be awesome, the next month taste like feet.
Be prepared for hipster bearded dick head bartenders.

Really fun place to check out! I love that they have the canning operations right next to the tasting room and bar area. They have a great selection of beers and a nice gift shop. I ending buying a t-​shirt that was really soft and great quality. Good times had for all!

This venue is super cool. It’s a lot better than ballast points but their beer is not as good. For some reason I’m not a big fan of Coronado brews but when in Rome.

Living in Linda Vista, I was elated when this Coronado Brewing Co tasting room opened up. In conjunction with the nearby Ballast Point Brew Mart, this area is quickly rising up as a great craft beer area with easy access from the trolley. What I love about this place, is the tasting room is huge and you can always find a wide variety of Coronado Brewing Co experimental beers on their menu to try. In addition to their mainline offerings, this is perfect for the craft beer adventurouist. With a variety of pales, IPA and porters, there is something for everyone to try, though stay away from the German Chocolate Cake, which taste more like rubbing alcohol. As this tasting room is huge and tucked away, you never have to worry about finding a spot, and as they are dog friendly, you can even bring your pet along for the ride. They often host a number of well organized events with food trucks. Most recently, I attended the 19^th Anniversary release party, where you got a pour and a pint for $ 10. They brought in a local band to keep the energy high while the taps were flowing. Overall, check out this location the next time you are in the mood for a good beer.

Great place to chill out with family, friends,… And dogs. Crashed a company party here. It’s a super spacious place with different seating areas and good beers, Mainly IPAs, but the selection varies. The ABV % and IBU for each beer is displayed on a screen. And if you can’t make up your mind, you can order a flight set to sample ‘em.
Theres several different areas to hang out: the bar, tables near the bar, an uncovered area in front of the bar, and to the right of the bar is a large, semi-​separate area with benches and wooden barrels where I saw a little kid running around with other dogs. And because it’s not separated by doors, you got a good flow going. There are three bartenders behind the counter to take care of your beer needs. Free drinking water from a water cooler in front of the bar.
Not sure what the rules are, but the dogs are all on a leash and super tame. Some were tied up also. Super chill and house trained. Very big space for them to avoid each other so in case they’re not sociable with certain dogs. None shat on the floor.
If hungry, pizza can be ordered, personal
Pan size for prices that range but average around 11 – 12 bucks… A bit pricey in my opinion but I heard it was pretty good?
Small parking garage to the side of the building.
Great big space to drink good beer with friends and Fun to dog watch. I’ll be back…

Coronado brewing is raw and I love that about it. There isn’t a special room blocked off for tastings. There isn’t granite everywhere and there are only a few bartenders. You’re smack in the middle of the brewery. Tanks, boxes and barrels surround ¾ of the room while you’re sitting in a roped off area. But choice wise? There’s over twenty different beers. Most of them R&D. In addition it’s dog friendly and they offer flights of five different beers for $ 9.
So how’s the beer? Pretty solid! Mermaid Red is one of my favorite reds and it’s a staple of theirs being distributed across all of San Diego. As for their R&D beers, there’s always something new and interesting. I loved their double IPA which I found more balanced then most regular IPA’s while their Red IPA had quite a lot of flavor. The German Chocolate Cake stout was a rare miss, tasting more like syrup than beer, but I appreciated the effort. If you’re hungry after all the tastings they also have food trucks on most days.
Coronado Brewing is one of those rare midsize breweries that still charges reasonably but is able to offer a lot in a comfortable atmosphere. Definitely a great place for craft beer fans to check out!

Was not impressed.
Parking lot is small and tight. Look for the parking sign, if you pass it you have u turn back.
Small bar area. No food or snacks. Dog friendly.
Special Flight was $ 9
Jarrylo Pint — $ 5
Beer was decent but I expected it to taste better.

A hyper-​popular, higher quality beer tasting room with excellent décor and excellent food truck symbiosis
Tons of house beers on tap in this massive open tasting room inside the production brewery, which was immaculately clean and organized. Larger than normal tasters all put in organized taster trays with labeling you do yourself. Fill out a card with your beer selection and it is served in that order so you can’t mix it up. I don’t understand why more places don’t use this simple solution. Dogs allowed, kids allowed. Very loud, but very fun. Would return. Beware, it is located down a semi-​sketchy industrial zone.

Can I give more than 5 stars? What an awesome experience! Johnna was amazing. Amazing. Totally made my first trip to CB unforgettable. She went above and beyond with the tasters, and recommendations… and didn’t make fun of me when I asked for a 2L growler of the Berry instead of the Session. Thanks for making me feel more manly!

Cool place… nice selección ;)
We will be back… try the side board (new beer selections).

This is quite a nice brewery and quite the busy one on a Friday evening. I stopped in tried the Coronado Golden Pilsener for $ 5 a pint. The beers was light in body and had slightly sour, lemony, and bitter after taste, but was refreshing throughout with some hop and bread flavor. For pils, it had a little bit of blonde in her. The pilsner was a great way to start the evening. In addition the the pilsener, they have a great selection of other craft beers and when you walk in, the list is on a board, to your left.
This location has a large tasting are via a standard bar, tall bat tables, and sort of a lounge situated directly behind the bar accessed by an open door. I ordered my craft beer at the bar, and the female bar keep who took my order and brought me my beer was friendly enough. That is to say, she could of been a little friendlier.
They offer a rotating food vendors inside, which great for when you get the munchies or you can order food delivered by local businesses. The evening I was there, in addition to Cheesy Amigos, they also had Krave there giving out free samples of a variety of beef jerky. The place is dog friendly and happy hour runs from 1 pm to 6 pm Monday through Friday.

I must say that all of the beers that I tasted were phenomenal. I have tried a lot of beer and at this tasting room, there was no exception, I tried 15 different beers with their flights. Every beer I tried had the flavor it was going for without being too overpowering. I think I have a new favorite brewery in San Diego now.

Came for a food truck tasting — I love that the food trucks go to the breweries!!!
The place is big, with the barrels and large sliver beer thingys, and lively! I didn’t have a beer (not really a beer drinker), but I would definately show up here with friends.
Parking is limited, but not crazy, and they have food trucks on the regular! Stop by!

My boyfriend and I drove down to Coronado Brewery in the Mission Valley area to check it out. We always buy the Red Head Ale and so we thought it would be fun to check out the brewery itself.
It is right off of the freeway in a small industrial area. Parking in the street and lot is available close by.
The building is a giant warehouse. Walking inside their is the tanks to the right and tasting area to the left. We visited mid-​day so it was a mellow crowd, however I imagine they get pretty busy on the weekends.
Coronado offers their top sellers and many seasonal brews. I had my favorite Red Ale and my boyfriend had a red seasonal session ale that was also great.
Great beer, great hang out. Will definitly be going back when down in the area.

One of my top 3 favorite San Diego Breweries!
Cool brewery in Linda Vista

When it is busy, not a lot of seating available

Berry The Hatchet — Refreshing, delicious, & sweet! A must try!
Lime Lite (Citrus Ale) — Absolutely refreshing, delicious, & a perfect mix of citrus! A must try!
Orange Avenue Wit (Witbier) — My all-​time favorite & available at many restaurants/​bars throughout San Diego! So refreshing & delicious, I could drink 10!

Bring a few friends when you come here– you’ll want to try every single beer! And indeed that’s what we did. There’s something like 20 beers on tap at hand. And there is a fridge section for take-​home goodies. Standouts include Berry the Hatchet (cloudy, fruity, drinkable) and Hibiscus IPA (tea-​like, tart and hoppy). It’s odd because I don’t normally like overly fruity flavors, but it works for once. I also enjoyed the stoopid stout, bridge stout, and fire starter. The tasting room itself is roomy and clean.

Consistently fun and great beer selections. You can pick up good conversations with some decent people here and few of them are locals.
The service is great… And there can be plenty of absolutely adorable and friendly dogs. I LOVE the fact that this is walking distance to our home.
We checked quite a few brewery tasting rooms and this one so far WINS!

Finally FINALLY got a chance to visit this brewery. Located in a kind of awkward place near mission beach, and across from an interesting christmas decoration store, you walk in and are transformed to a high ceiling, opened space warehouse dedicated to Beer. Their open space layout allows for tons of seating, along the bar, tables, even in a back room. Adjacent to the seating area is where all the magic takes place and you can almost go right up to the conveyor belt where they bottle the beer. Pretty neat!
They have maybe 20 or so beers on tap, most that you can’t find in a normal bar. We got a taster set of 5 for a little under 10 $. Each beer that we tasted had a really distinct taste, and subtle bitterness to them. The IPAs were the best for me, not too bitter, full-​bodied, and gave your tongue a little kick.

I love this little brewery… probably shouldn’t use the world little as it is pretty big. You have a cool view of how the whole beer brewing world works. Not only can you see it but the people working are always friendly and answer questions that you have.

The beers there are always cold and tasty. I usually stick to the type of beer I drink so everything I have tasted has been super good. My go to is of course the orange wit. Always refreshing and light when you want a good beer.

I’ve been for just one special release. The Barrel aged stupid stout and oh my was it tasty. The release went very smoothly and I danced out with my two bottles quite content. The brewery is dog friendly and has occasional food trucks with tasty food. I believe the line up is on the website.
