Jorge was amazing!!! He was so friendly and welcoming when we got here. The drink menu is great . Loves the atmosphere and vibe
So good to have finally tried Mission Brewery and can remove it off of my "to try" list. For this brewery Steve and I had their Blonde , named Mission Blonde. This wasn't a bad blonde but it wasn't exactly the best one I have come across either. It kind of had an odd aftertaste which I am not sure if it was purposeful for the recipe but it wasn't bad regardless. Flavor features to look for with this are clean, sweet and dry. The beer is very smooth in body and is light. And as the summer heat is here it's a decent beer to have while enjoying the sun.
We were visiting San Diego and could not be happier we stumbled upon this Brewery! From the outside it doesn't seem like much, but inside it's clean and welcoming. The beers we tried were all good! I loved the foggy shores! It's crazy because it smells like Banana. My friends really liked the lavender lemonade hard seltzer, and the pineapple under the sea IPA. Most importantly, I can't say enough about the AMAZING about Jorge and Irving and the service we received!!! They were absolutely amazing!!! Because of them this will definitely be a spot I recommend to everyone in San Diego.
Pretty cool brewery within walking distance of Petco Park, I had a 4 beer flight that was only $8 (super rare price for a flight now a day) ended up leaving with a 6-pack of their Shipwrecked dipa thanks to their pint and 6 pack deal. They've got good prices and solid beers. Their to go beers came in handy since we had to settle for the expensive $50 tailgate parking lot across the street before the Padres game. They don't have food here so if you're going to be in the area for an extended amount of town make sure to grab something to eat before or after you visit. 14th street is a little sketchy with a few homeless camps near the area but during the daytime it wasn't too bad so this brewery is totally worth checking out.
We attended a comedy show here the other night and had an enjoyable time. We arrived early, ordered a couple beers at the bar and sort of congregated by the stairs until someone came and checked for tickets about 15 minutes before the opening act. There isn't a bar in the loft upstairs but you can bring your beers up there. Though the evening was fairly cool, it was still stuffy upstairs. I would think during the hotter months it's unbearable. The beers were good though. I tried a Paloma hard seltzer and also the Pacific Passage Japanese-style lager. The lager was pleasant and light; perfect if you don't want that bloated feeling after a couple pints. I appreciate that they preserved the old factory vibe of the historic building and it seemed to be a well-liked spot in the neighborhood.
It's been awhile since we've been at Mission Brewery but after a fun Comic Con event here we were pulled back for their Pineapple IIPA. I really like the broad selection at Mission, and the addition of pinball and video games, as well as a ping pong table, makes it a cool environment. They have added several industrial fans which keeps the air flow and temperature really pleasant. No fault of Mission, but the streets of downtown have become increasingly filthy and the drawback of having to hopscotch over trash, urine and other crap is an unfortunate deterrent to heading here.
I visited the location in downtown on July 4th weekend. It was super chill, not crowded at all Saturday in the late afternoon. We tried the blonde ale and the Cocomos. I love the name reminds me of house music :). My favorite WAS the Cocomos. It is sour and has a coconut after taste, it sounds weird but it was refreshing and addictive. Service was great, very helpful staff. Although not very busy you can see staff is happy to be there at such a cool spot. Restroom is through a long pathway, left, right, left, right for womens hehe. The place itself is huge in an industrial setting. They have "mission" emblems throughout the brewery, very nice ambiance and decor. They have 2 huge round tables you can sit at in the first floor, they are lifted and lit by the ceiling window above. They also have an upstairs area and a game room to the left when you enter. They offer merchandise too. They have another location by the airport too which looks huge and could be the first location. I really liked this one in downtown due to the location. We will be back soon! Thanks again!
Swung by here this past weekend for a drink. My friends and I enjoyed the seltzers; We even got a four pack to go Very clean brewery and friendly staff! They had a pop up vendor in their back patio (@lucymaeskitchen) who had amazing food! It was their first time there so you have to follow their social media for future pop ups. Thoroughly enjoyed everything we ordered: Maryland crabcakes, Tameka wings and mac and cheese. Definitely would come back in future to hangout and drink
The outside of this place may not look like a good example of "Americas greatest city" but once one walks through the doors the decor is nothing less than exquisite! One can enjoy the brilliance of the stars as you sip your alcoholic beverage or simply capture a memorable picture with friends. Irving takes care of you and Adam keeps you entertained, go grab a cold one today!
Make sure you guys get my homie Jorge! This dude doesn't let your glass get empty and had world class customer service!
There are so many movies that come to mind that when you think of breweries the Canadian Movie strange brew that was a hockey movie and yes it was one of the funniest movies there was out in the cinemas and yes beer has been one of the most widely used drinks during the many events from Baseball to Hockey to Football. When I was taking a walk down the East Village area there are so many buildings that have great history to them, and the many areas of East Village has had the years of the war that had many changes over the years that you can still find many buildings standing today. There was one building that I have seen many times that when I would come to the library to do research and get reviews posted online. Many of the buildings that you may find have been old drug stores and one have been storage buildings there was one that was the old Wonder Bread factory that was located in the East Village area of San Diego. Taking a closer look at the building there was a large silo container that was on top that gave the gave the indication there was storage containers inside and there would tanker trucks that were loading up. When I had gotten closer there was more of a restaurant look to it and to see the Wonder Bread name that was still up after the many years and the age of the building still in great condition. The sign at the front of the building that had got my eye that it was a brewery it had the look and the feel of a brewery that would be from the 60s and the 70s that didn't have the conveyors and the bottling machines. I decided to walk to a look inside and have a good beer in the afternoon there was a small crowd that was enjoying the ball game just looking about see the many areas large seating areas that were the bottom of the silos and looking up see the top floor and the large opening at the top. I took a look at the many beers this told me they made the beer fresh and the grades of what they have told me they have a good line up and the lineup looks pretty good. I had ordered a cold IPA that had a good hard but smooth flavor that had the taste of orange to it and the aroma gave a good clear scent of it. The location in the midst of East Village and the location shows that was a building that was of the early earl 1900s and the walls of the building showed the long bolts that were used to help keep the walls steady during an earthquake. I was able to see there back area that had many of the large containers that were making beer and the aging process that was going on with the products that takes a while for beer. The many things that the Mission Brewery has the History it has the great feel of when beer was made and the many years that the Wonder bread company that was there. To be able to see what the inside of brewery is and the many functions of the many stations it gives you the many steps that beer takes to make. As my recommendation that the Mission Brewery is one brewery that shows great history in the product, they make and the many ingredients they use to make the best beer.
I can't believe this was my first time here! Located in East Village, Mission Brewery is housed in a historic building that used to be a Wonder Bread factory. The original brick along with high ceilings, and exposed beams, add to overall the experience. The beertender, Irving, was friendly and super helpful! He let me try their seltzer and hop water which I had never had before. I ended up going with their tasty blonde which was the perfect combination of lightness and refreshingness. They had live music upstairs and I got to meet some great people. I'll definitely be back soon! read more

My husband would disagree with this rating, but that's okay. We walked over to Mission to escape Comic Con, and to plan the rest of our day over some beer. The walk between the Trolley Station and the brewery is a bit sketch to be sure, but it was the middle of the day and there were a ton of people around. Still, I felt much better about location once we got closer to Petco. At any rate, the brewery was fairly empty when we arrived. I mean, it was just after 12 pm on a Friday, after all. As is my MO, I went with the flight, which in their case is four tasters. The Grapefruit Radler was super crisp and tart, with a clean, refreshing finish. It definitely hit the spot on a hot and steamy summer day. The Summer Crusher was my least favorite brew; it was tagged as a "cream ale", but lacked in the sweet, creamy, flavorful areas. The Hefeweizen was a nice chaser to the Summer Crusher, with crisp clean notes and a strong banana finish. My final taster was the Friar's Gold (highly recommended by a nice stranger at the bar) - it tasted almost...beefy? It had a smoky odor with a hearty mouthfeel. I wanted more citrus than meat, unfortunately. My chosen pint for the day was the Grapefruit Radler. It was a nice sipping brew that helped take the edge off the stress of the Con and the heat of the day. I did love the space of the brewery itself. It's nice and open, with lots of exposed brick. We actually did briefly pop into the brewery a few years ago, also during Comic Con, when they had an offsite event going on. We didn't stay, and we didn't partake in the beer, so I'm glad we came to try it this time. My husband definitely enjoyed the beer experience much more than I did, but I worry in that his favorite beer that day was a seasonal, meaning they probably don't have it on tap anymore. Will he still like the brewery and their offerings if that beer is gone? Only time will tell. Oh - and if you have to use the restroom, bring your walking shoes and your hard hat. And maybe some breadcrumbs to leave a trail back to the bar area. It's tucked way far back into the building, and you go through some spots that you probably shouldn't have to walk through. But, the restroom was clean and smelled nice, which is always a bonus. read more
Mission Brewery is located in the old Wonderbread factory. You wouldn't think much of it while passing by, but as soon as you walk in you know you're home. It's pet friendly and you can bring outside food. A brewery is truly good when you get two flights of beers and every single one you try is delicious. I've never been more satisfied with such a large selection than here. Aunt Cali's BP was hands down my favorite. Looking at my past reviews and pictures, I guess you can say I have a type haha. read more

Good beer, Irving is the man!! Took care of us answered all our questions suggested some beers, chill atmosphere read more
This place is awesome! Great service, great atmosphere, and great beer! If you're visiting or live in San Diego this should be on your list. I love the fact that the brewers are engaging and have great personalities, which makes sense why the beer is so great! There is a long bar with fine choices of brews on the board. Get a pint or a flight. Dog Friendly even on the bar stool. Play shuffleboard on an amazing table in the middle of all the action. Take time to enjoy the aroma of hops and malt and watch the brewers at work, its fascinating! Food trucks have great food, check times and days for those. The bathrooms are past the bar to the left, right into the back where brewing is taking place. Cheers to a fine fun brewery! read more

Mission Brewery is located in what appears to be an old Wonder Bread factory. The brewery has an old world Spanish galleon theme going on, and it's really cool. I didn't get a good shot of the bar, but the wood it's built with is finished to look like it came from one of those old ships. They also sell kegs, growlers and crowlers, but they keep with the ship theme and call their crowlers "cannons." On my maiden voyage to the Mission Brewery, I ordered a flight of four - four ounce pours for $7.50. On my sample board were the following beers: - "Mission Hefeweizen" - Hefs are usually one of my go-to beers, but this one just didn't do it for me. It was too light tasting I guess. - "This Must be a Saison" - I try saisons on occasion, but they're not on my usual rotation. However, this one was quite tasty. It was a saison with sauvignon blanc mixed in and it had a light, crisp, fruity smell and taste to it. It wasn't on the menu board, but the tapmaster told me about it and talked me into it. - "Mission Amber" - this was probably my favorite - good and malty. - "D'Gnarly India Pale Kolsch" - I like a good kolsch, but not India Pale Ales. So when I saw India Pale in the name of this beer, I almost didn't order it. But I had never heard of an IPK before, so I figured what the hell, let me try it out. I wasn't disappointed. It wasn't nearly as hoppy as a straight forward IPA, so I survived it. It was a crisp kolsch with light fruit flavors to it - very light. I don't like fruity beers, but the taste of it in this one was perfect, and I would try it again. All in all, this is a cool brewery, with awesome staff, service, and beer! They also have a nice shuffleboard table, some pinball machines, a really long bar and plenty of table seating. You can also bring your own food or have it delivered here. Five stars to this brewery! read more

Visited Mission Brewery just because I saw it on the maps and it looked close by. The inside is huge and has a lot of space for large groups! Ordered a flight, which was super cheap at ~$8, and the beers were good! The bartender was super helpful when ordering as well. As other people have noted, this brewery is in more of the sketch neighborhood which is surrounded by homeless people so you tend to fell a bit unsafe when walking outside. read more
3.5 stars... Came here a year ago and used a Groupon for a tasting...I've been hooked since! Dark seas is their imperial stout, and it does not disappoint! My night ended with one of these, but very happily began with a seasonal coconut brown. Dark, cool, mildly coconut infused but nothing is overpowering in this one, smoove drinkin! Ambiance is industrial barn, prices are in line with surroundings, and staff was courteous and available. My fav "little" brewery in SD...this joint makes the list! read more

How did the Australian Shepard taste?
Hi Colin, I am not sure what you are referring to as we have no beer named Australian Shepard.... ?
Is there a food truck every night and what time usually?
Not every night. Usually Weekends and the hours vary. If you follow their IG or FB they are pretty good about posting when they have one there.
