Local joint. I live nearby, and used to come to Double Peak located in this building all the time before they closed down. I was pretty sad about that, but Michi has been an excellent addition to the local beer scene too. I enjoyed their IPA. My neighbor did as well (we are both IPA fans). In fact, he prefers Michi beers to Double Peak. They have a back room which is great for hanging out, with plenty of space to bring snacks and games for kids. I saw that they recently built an outdoor deck so we'll have to come back to check that out. read more

Island inspired brews, brah. Michi slings boozy suds in a warehouse in San Elijo Hills and does so with an island motif. They had 9 beers, one seltzer and an N/A hop water when I visited. I tried the porter, DIPA and the seltzer. Although the DIPA was the best brew of the bunch, it was a warm day and the fruit punch seltzer was perfect. Service was friendly, the place was chill, clean and roomy. I'd go back. read more

In what may seem like a smaller space upon first glance, you'll come to feel at home with plenty of seating throughout and refreshing drinks on tap that's sure to make you stay longer than intended. As soon as you walk in, you're greeted with the bar top and a good list of beers inspired by the islands of Hawaii. I ordered two beer flights as it was my first time visiting, and was able to try 8 different beers with the help of my gf. However, the one that stood out to me the most was the pineapple hefe that I'll have to return soon for a full pour. The staff was also really cool, even offering some refrigerated chocolate covered strawberries from an event the day before (Don't mind if I do). Despite there being other breweries in the area, Michi Brew is unique in its tropical-inspired selection of beers with a familiar, laid back spirit that is reminiscent of Hawaii. read more

Loved everything about Michi Brew. Cool, relaxing Island vide. Cute decor, not hokey at all. Great brews. Nice merchandise. We bought a couple of shirts and tiki glasses. The owner was super nice. Michi Brew was reminiscent of Ola Brewery on the Big Island, which is stop one of by all time fave breweries in Hawaii. Definitely will be back when back in town. read more

I don't think I have ever been to a tiki-themed brewery before but I love all things tiki so we're off to a good start.. Double Peak Brewery (RIP) used to be at this location but Michi has done an outstanding job of making it look and feel festive and tiki-themed. They have also made it much more spacious. I first went with the Cenote Mexican lager. It was decent and definitely had the characteristics of the style but it wasn't my favorite Mexican-style beer ever. I also tried the Oatmeal Stout. This one was much more flavorful and was, frankly, delicious. Mine was served ice cold and the flavor got better and better as it warmed up a little. The workers here are very friendly and the place is bright and cheery. They also have interesting food trucks or vendors all the time. There is plenty of parking in the lot or on the street nearby. This place is a very welcome addition to the neighborhood. read more

Great little brewery that is off the beaten path, they have a cool tropical theme going on and good beers on tap. I tried their Mythosaur fruited ale, it was pretty strong, crisp and very good. Their oatmeal stout is another good one to try out, it's very refreshing. It was very busy when we stopped in, but we still found parking, the service was good and prompt. They don't sell food, but they have food trucks. They have a great atmosphere and awesome beer, I will come back here. read more

Happy Grand Opening! Cheers to a complimentary taco for Grand Opening! Service at the bar is friendly & efficient. Looking like a good turnout here already. Starting off with an Xtra Pale Ale, which is excellent. More to post as it goes... The theme is tiki, which their logo emodies brilliantly. In addition to an L-shaped bar, there's a nook seating area & the Ohana Room, with nice tiki touches throughout. Pups in & out, so dog friendly. For Grand Opening, there were 5 beers on tap. Naturally, I tried them all. & all of it was outstanding for style. The initial offerings being: Xtra Pale Ale, Rice Lager, Mexican Lager, Hazy & West Coast IPA's. Happy Grand Opening Michi Brew Co. Cheers to many more beers here. read more

What a fantastic addition to the San Elijo/San Marcos craft beer scene! Michi Brew Co. is brand new, but they're already knocking it out of the park. I had the chance to try a wide range of beers -- from the crisp and refreshing Mungo Extra Pale Ale, to the incredibly smooth Akita Rice Lager (and I'm not usually a lager fan, so that says something), to the crushable Canote Mexican Lager, and of course, the bold and juicy Memphre Double Hazy, which easily takes the crown as my personal favorite. If you're into IPAs, don't miss the Chelan West Coast IPA either -- classic, clean, and packed with flavor. The space itself has a very cool vibe. There's a nice bar, a few different rooms to hang out in, and plenty of seating options that make it easy to settle in for a while. Bonus points for the huge parking lot -- always appreciated! What really stood out, though, was the amazing hospitality from the owners (thanks Ryan!!!). You can tell right away how passionate they are -- not just about their beer, but about creating a welcoming space for the community. They're friendly, down-to-earth, and clearly take a ton of pride in both the craft beer scene and being part of the local neighborhood. That energy really shines through and makes the whole experience even better. Overall, Michi Brew Co. already feels like a local gem. Great beers, great people, great atmosphere -- I highly recommend stopping by and working your way down the tap list. This place is going to become a favorite fast. read more

I will start off by saying, the customer service, vibe, and beer are all top notch. I love the island vibe and the style of beers. We pretty much tried most of the beers. I liked Akita, the hoppier than usual rice lager a lot. The owner was busy the day we went as he was taking orders, as well as cleaning and clearing tables, but had time to always answer questions. For a great little spot with great beer served by great people, this is the place. read more

Hawaiian themed brewery! Michi Brew is a small brewery located in an industrial business park. The owner is the brew master and front of the house and very friendly. The menu focuses on different fruit flavors into DDH west Coast IPA, Lagers and Ales. Beers are tasty, light in flavor and lacking some rich flavors. This brewery is dog friendly however their seating is limited and the second room is dark needing more light. read more

We were referred to this newest north coastal brewery by a popular local brewery. He said we wouldn't be disappointed. "He was right". Most new brewery's take a year or so to make more than one great brew. Not here. We tried 3 ales and a West Coast Pilsner. All exceptional. Our ( beer snobs) party of 4 all agreed the XPA was one of the best in town. The West Coast Pilsner was equally impressive. Both of these low ABV beers are worthy of a medal. Then there's Michi's IPA. At under 7.0 ABV it too is better than many IPA's in SD. Lastly the Tropical Hazy. Here again all agreed it's unique and tasty . This island influenced " Pineapple" hazy is the perfect brew to sip when here . ( We will be back to try the "Coconut" Porter). Highly recommend this brewery. Exceptional brews by a talented brewer. 5 stars ! read more

Tropical Vibes, Thoughtful Brewing, and a One-of-a-Kind Rice Lager at Michi Brew Co. Michi Brew Co. is easily one of the most unique and welcoming breweries in Southern California. This husband-and-wife-owned gem brings tropical inspiration to every detail--from their island-style decor to their incredibly clean, flavorful beer.

Excellent spot. Great beer across the board and the owner, Scott, is in here grinding every day brewing new beers and serving people all night. New beers on the menu almost every week.

This is hands down the most innovative new brewery in San Diego county. Tropical inspired ales and lagers is something San Diego County has been desperately in need of. Each beer showcases such great attention to quality and flavor to make each beer shine. So grateful to find such a gem in the craft beer world of North County San Diego. The service is top notch with extensive knowledge of each beer style. The owner loves to engage his customers and share his passion for the craft. The decor and ambiance takes you away to a tropical paradise for those that need an aloha vibe. I will be back and look forward to the future success of this great new brewery. read more
