The Beaves makes a DAM good beer! I love this tucked away location, no frills, just good beer in an airy indoor/outdoor industrial space. Bingo nights are fun and free to play. Trivia is a bit of a miss. The acoustics in there aren't great to hear the questions well. Rotating food trucks make it a different adventure every time. Check their IG for the latest happenings and food truck schedule. read more

We had a great experience at this Oceanside location and enjoyed the Thursday night bingo and food from Spinning Meats. The staff was gracious in reserving a big table so we can our friends join us in celebrating my wife's birthday. Service has been stellar so far during our visits here. We're are sure to come back for bingo nights and will try some of the other events as well. read more

The beers were delicious! This spot is pretty cool - no frills, but a gigantic back area for production, food truck, some seating indoors and out, and bomb beers. We each got a flight and a pint to follow. I liked almost everything I tried and I would absolutely go back. Perfect for a chill Friday evening. read more

On two occasions I came here and had two different kinds of experiences. Both were Dam good times . The first time was after roller skating nearby and I was one HUNGRY beaver! So my friend Nanci and I turned to Yelp for help. She had been to this location before and I frequent the Vista tavern and grill (mainly when Jimmy Paton is playing) with my family. Knowing that this one wasn't a restaurant we looked up on their calendar and excitedly saw that the Oishi sushi fusion pop up would be here. I've had them elsewhere several times and am a fan of them! AND we also saw that they have live music on Friday nights too! Oh yeah! This day the music was by Kimmi Bitter duo with Willis Farnsworth. I love the 60/70's vibe that they've got going on! Definitely a fun FriYay night out with our favorite of things ie Grub, drink AND what felt like a VIP live music show! I loved the open floor plan especially because after that fun workout prior I was able to cool down with the fresh air. Cuz I was one sweaty Betty, Ha! We noticed that they have BINGO on Thursdays and so the pre-planning of my 50th birthday spinning wheels in my head began! How perfect that my actual birthday fell on the same day as a bingo night. Spinning Meats Mediterranean pop up would be there. Rain or Shine. You see it's usually very hard to plan an actual birthday event for my birthday because it's so close to the hustle bustle of the Holidays. It also likes to be a rainy day. We lucked out here! I called and spoke to Ashley (forgive if I got the name wrong but that's what this old brain remembers). about making reservations and she informed me that it really is a free-for-all/first come basis as far as the table seating goes. But she did reserve one high communal table for me, RSVP for a half an hour prior to the first BINGO game. That worked out perfectly as my event was more casual and my friends would be trickling in and out during the evening. Several of my guests that attended my event are fellow YELPers too and we are always recommending our favorite places with one another. The entire venue felt like it was my own as we befriended strangers and shared other tables, luv and laughs all around & even shared my cake with them too. I was having surgery just days after this event so I only had one seltzer drink and it was good. I love that it didn't have fake dye coloring in it. My friends loved the place, their brews, and I loved their presence! Thank you BBB~O'side crew. You were amazing! Tho a bit bummed that no one out of my group won a bingo game but one guy won twice!?! How!?! Scratches head. We had a great time and truly am looking forward to my/our next experience here! read more

Our last visit here as we are moving out of state. They had Mr cerviche a food truck over last night. Smaller crowd. Food was good there. Bartenders were great as usual. Their were heaters around. And Dog friendly as usual. They also had live music last night. A very nice gentle singer who sang and played oldies - the kind of music we liked. Homeward bound we are... Great night! Sorry we are leaving. But good job and wish u guys all the best and thanks for last night! read more

Stopped in for some Imperial Stout and my favorite Thumbs Up Bacon and BBQ. It was a busy Saturday night, but always a great time. Food was excellent, Thumbs Up was excellent as usual. Try the Rule of two - 5 yr imperial Stout and the Viva La Beaver - they are amazing! The place was rocking with the band playing, Dodgers on the Screens and the large crowd. read more

I have had Belching Beaver on more than one occasion but my list guided me to delve into their beer once more. I got a beer that I have had before which is something I don't often do when making a post about a brewery with more than location that is on my list. But I enjoy the Peanut Butter Milk Stout so much that I had to do a repeat. It was just too irresistible. The flavor highlights to keep your taste buds peeled for are milk, sweet and coffee. The texture of the beer is smooth and creamy and that's very pleasant to experience when having this very fine stout. read more

I was introduced to Belching Beaver's amazing Peanut Butter Milk Stout at a wedding several years ago, and couldn't stop thinking about them. I made sure I had them on my itinerary during my recent trip to San Diego because I needed to stock up for the holidays. I was debating if I wanted to visit their San Diego location or the Oceanside location, but I was glad that I came to their Oceanside venue. Location is away from the beach and has its own private lot. Plenty of open space and beer tasting are available. I visited their brewery on a Monday afternoon and was amazed by the amount of people flocking to the brewery at 3pm. Lots of beers and seltzers available, but since I am a Stout girl, I haven't tried the other beers on tap. Great spot to hangout and catch up with friends if you like beer! read more

I have yet to experience this brewery and Oceanside itself. Also, it would be my first visit this fall to a hosted Marine Corps organized event in November for their 250th. Birthday. I look forward to being welcome. read more

In San Diego Area for the week for a work meeting. Following the meeting i looked up local breweries, came across Belching Beaver & saw that i was only about 10 minutes away. Decided to make my way there. Excellent choice. The Phantom Bride IPA has always been one of my favorite beers of all times. I've always had to buy it canned so it was nice to be able to have it on draft. I was impressed with how good the Red Ale was as well. I was disappointed that there wasn't a food menu , but then i saw there was a food truck right outside. Decided to try the Adobada (Marinated Pork) burrito and it definitely hit the spot. Overall 10/10. From the good beer, good food, and good service. read more

Large, spacious location. Nice patio and plenty of seating inside, too (including couches). They even have a stage and a band was playing when we arrived. The beers, as always, are high quality. I don't always love all of them but if you get a flight, there are plenty to choose from. If you're into hard seltzers, the Beav is producing a lot of them now. I'm not a fan of seltzers but someone must be drinking them. Total different vibe here from the Pub 980 location. The crowd here is older and, surprise, mellower. One is not better than the other. They're just different. They often (always?) have rotating food vendors on site. Great beers, great use of space. read more

Went there for bingo night. It was fun! We tried 3 kinds of beer and enjoyed them all. One tasted like a blueberry muffin, one like PB&J, and one was just a normal light beer. They have rotating food trucks but we didn't try the food. Will definitely check it out again someday. read more

Nice brewery, great for families with little kids! When we went their were kids drawing with chalk, bubbles going on, and karaoke with dancing. I don't have kids yet so it wasn't really the ambience I was looking for but it was nice and easy going. The brewery is sort of small... there isn't much seating, and there was only one bathroom. Great beer tho! :) read more

Awesome brewery with amazing beer, atmosphere and knowledgeable staff! They have a huge selection of beers on tap and in a cold case to take home. Ample seating inside the large warehouse space or outdoors. Dogs welcome, inside and out! Two guys pizza company had a pop up on site making delicious pizzas. All in all great food and beer. I'd highly recommend and go back. read more

After drinking some of their peanut butter stout in a can, I had to make sure that I visited their brewery. Yes, it's a long pilgrimage from Seattle, but boy was it worth it. Turns out that they've made it their mission to incorporate peanut butter into nearly all of their stouts. Their flight is rather on the expensive side, but I can honestly say that it was one of the best if not THE best flight of beers I've ever had. Where else have I ever had 4 stouts in a flight? Never, until now. To start, the PB latte golden stout was exactly what it tasted like. Even the color was much lighter to match. PB milk stout nitro was also exactly as I'd imagined; smooth and dark. The surprise of the bunch was the Snappin' ginger stout; not too ginger forward, nice depth of flavor and a long finish. It was so good that I went back for seconds. The Viva La Beaver - Mexican chocolate stout was subtle but also with a nice long finish. While I lament that I don't live near this brewery, it's a good thing, as I probably would park myself here on a bench every week. Also the tater tots from Copper King Burgers were superb! So glad that I made the trip here. read more

Belching Beaver should be on your checklist! I came to this location to do a beer run and pick up my order. I didn't spend too much time here but WOW.. this ambience here is so nice!! This place is pretty spacious and clean! There's indoor seating and patio seating, a good variety of beer selection & food on the menu. Also, the staff are SO FRIENDLY! A big ++ for me! Hoping I'll make a weekend trip out here to explore the menu and enjoy the experience here. read more

I definitely like this BBB! I like that the space is huge and that dogs are allowed inside. The one in vista has a cool patio/back area but it's dirt so it makes your dog dirty. This one patio is paved and not dirt so you don't get dirty. The beers are good. They're even on a sour trend and started making some of their own spiked seltzer. I don't think I ever had a bad beer at BB. This one gets packed but it's so big that there's space for everyone. read more

Happy hour selections are wonderful and portions are generous. Huge selection of brews on tap. Great back patio.

Location is great, got restaurants all over, cute quaint little shops and then a brewery right in the heart of it all. Prime location if I do say so myself. Family friendly and dogs all over the place too. Obviously on leashes and well trained but basically open to everyone. Great little spot to pop in for a drink read more

I frequent this place fairly often as it's my neighborhood brewery. To be fair, I don't frequent in their later hours often. That said, I walk in at 9pm on a Friday as they close at 10 and was told by the tender last call was already called but he'll serve me. 1hr before closing and last call was already called? Hhmmm, fine. Ordered my bear and nearly a third of it was super bubbly, not a foam or head. "Enjoy" as he clicked 20% on his own before I even offered my card. Really tacky service. All in all, this was like closing a restaurant an hour early then serving the leftover food from previous customers. read more

I'm torn between 3 and 4 stars but since I love Belching Beaver, I rounded up. It's a really hard to top their original Vista location (which is now Pub980). This location has the same great bear as their other location but it is also their main production area- expect to see tanks and barrels abound! No food here but you can bring it. I think they sometimes have food trucks. Would I be back? Yes, if I was in the area but my go-to spot is in Vista. read more

Love the beers. Nice atmosphere. Didn't try food truck. Peanut butter milk stout nitro is rally smooth.

My husband and I are expecting a baby and we were so glad to find out that they allow people to host events there. We had our baby shower there and it was truly a great experience. Been coming to this local Belching Beaver and love the beers so it was awesome to be able to share this with friends and family at our event. Kevin was super accommodating and flexible with everything. He even came in 2 hours before the brewery opened up to the public so we could come in and decorate ahead of time. We also appreciated that Kevin and the staff provided an extra table for us to place our food and helped sweep up some confetti left on the floor afterwards. Overall, it was an easy experience to host an event there and plus our guests loved trying out all the yummy beers and seltzers on tap. read more

When COVID hit, lots of places closed, especially the bars and breweries - at least the tap and tasting rooms did. As California opened and re-closed a couple of times, Belching has gotten smart and added much more outdoor seating. And since under our current guidelines you cannot drink booze without ordering food, they have managed to schedule food trucks to show up every day - which is fantastic. Each day is something different, from pizza to burritos, BBQ to hot dogs. All the food is great and we have our favorites (and maybe not so favorites) - but the beer is ALWAYS flowing. This weekend they celebrated their 8 year anniversary and introduced new beer and mead items on the menu and they were mind-blowingly good! COVID will be around for a while, and hopefully so will Belching. At least we visited here enough times to keep them in business for a while :-) read more

My review is for the Pints for Pups event at the brewery. We had an excellent time, the been was very good with lots of selection, free parking, and excellent food provided by Full Metal burgers. I ordered the PB stout and the chocolate stout. Both were very good and a good price. We sat at one of the picnic tables and had some nachos. The nachos were FANTASTIC, the shredded chicken was seasoned very well and the cheese was deliciously melted and had very tasty and crispy edges. I know it is hard to believe that Nachos can be fantastic, but these were not your movie theatre nachos, far from it! The Pints for Pups event also had some great raffle prizes. read more

Ok so here's my specific complaints about this place: 1. Restrooms: there's one. Literally. And I don't mean one for male, and one for female. I mean one total. In a place which can comfortably seat 60-80 people, how would this ever be justifiable? 2. Service: it was ehhhhh at best. Apathetic, anti charismatic, almost somber. When breweries are now a dime a dozen, I would recommend taking your business elsewhere read more

Chill spot! Usually have a food truck. Cool spot to hang out. Good atmosphere and outdoor area as well.

I'm just happy I don't need to drive to Vista to have a Peanut Butter Milk anymore. So I checked out some pictures on Yelp and it looked alright so I figured I had to check it out so I finally did. I knew it was in a huge warehouse but I also thought it would be very cool and laid back with some cool add ons. So its just a warehouse with a little bar and serveral pinic type tables. To me it seems like the tasting room was an afterthought. I'm thinking they were just going to use this space for production then they said well why not add a little bar too? This spot is nothing real speacial besides teh beer but oh well at least I'm not driving to Vista. They have a menu but they also have beer that may not be on the menu so make sure to ask. You can bring food or if you come on certain days they have food from this burger spot called Full Metal Burgers. They close at 8pm during the week which I thought was pretty early but that may change if they get more customers who knows. read more
