You will pay handsomely, I should say. It is a liquor store that knows what to get. It has been known for many years now by hopheads and general beer loving folk. I've had several conversations with strangers that bring this place up! When you can't find it, most of the time it's here. No online menu or ways to search, just bring you butt in and see. Walk in to the beer cooler and check out the goods, and then open the wallet.. I've been coming for years, pre-Yelp and smartphones. Nothing has changed, just now even more beer to choose from! And when I can't find it anywhere, I'll at least try here. One thing that'll turn you off in addition to the higher prices is the fact that there is a 4% surcharge on card purchases. They'll try to trick you also and say, "Pay cash and you will get a 4% discount" . I walk out still feeling sorta ripped off..

Everything is so clean but it has a very good rustic and real feel to it. The drinks here are my favorite because to be honest, I'm a sours beer kind of guy and they have a whole building dedicated to it. The amount of variety when it comes to sours is great a prices are fair. Flavors pop but theirs also a good enough selection if you want a more chill sour that won't punch you in the face. The other building (not sure which is considered the main ones) has a large selection of your typical IPAs, lagers, you name it. The flavors are good and they seems to have some deals going on from time to time for cans to take home which I can appreciate. They also have a few board games to keep you entertained and seem to consistently have some options fora food vendor as well as many times having live music. Definitely worth the visit on a day you see them having one of these vendors or live bands you may be interested in. The people here seem to be very friendly with their regulars and greet you as if you're a friend. I think this bodes well with breweries considering you're usually here to have a good time and chill. I wouldn't say it feels like the reason I'd come back at all but no complaints here. Just didn't feel like out of this world service by any means.

There are rotating food trucks that come through and the outdoor patio is a great place for families with young children as well as a space to gather and listen to live music. They also have a whole cider house with sours and such so it's an awesome way to spend an afternoon in sunny La Mesa. You really can't go wrong with any of their beers, they're ice cold and the pricing is very reasonable and there's a huge variety. The day we visited, we also took advantage of the burgers from the food truck and they were very good!

It was enjoyable and we would definitely be back to try their other specials. Our waitress Kainew was amazing. Sorry if I butchered your name. I also wasn't aware they had a special of $3 draft beers today! So our IPAs were only $3 each! Can't beat that. For restaurant week review we got the oysters, shrimp, and red chili flatbread for appetizers. Oysters were on the small side and only had toppings for tacos which consisted of only onions and cilantro. The shrimp was good but a little salty. The flat bread was surprisingly good and came whole for restaurant week. For entrees we got the skirt steak and salmon. The steak was actually pretty good and the little bit of broccolini and carrot that came with it paired with the sauce was pretty good. They never asked for a steak temperature so I assumed it was all premade and ready to be warmed up and served. Honestly it was medium and really good and tender! My salmon came with potatoes and my husband loved it. For dessert they let us know they ran out of crème brûlée but we got cheesecake and tiramisu and they were all delicious. Definitely going back as a regular!
