Absolute favorite brewery in San Diego, they always make the best hazy (murky) IPAs as well as some really good and interesting smoothie beers and sours. Like going to this location sometimes since it's smaller and has a more intimate vibe. Staff here is always amazing and fun to chat with
The ratatouille empanada was awesome! And vegan! I had a flight. Every beer was good. The smoothie was REALLY good. The service was awesome and my 20 yr old said she dug the vibes. She had Caprese. Empanada was delicious too. . My daughter drove and I didn't even finish my flight . Great bang for your buck.
We originally stopped by Pure Brewery in San Diego for one thing: the beer. Specifically, Rain -- a crisp, refreshing brew I've enjoyed before from a can, but this was my first time having it fresh on tap at the brewery. And wow, it did not disappoint. Light, super drinkable, and perfect for a warm San Diego afternoon. Ironically, despite the name, it'd be just as perfect on a rainy day. It's one of those beers that just works in any weather. And then came the unexpected highlight: the empanadas. Offered at the bar on behalf of Empanada Kitchen, these were seriously next-level. We tried a few and loved every one: * Sweet Corn & Basil: Total standout. The corn tasted super fresh, like it had just been cut off the cob, and the basil with béchamel brought this rich, savory umami flavor. The crust was golden and perfectly flaky. One isn't enough -- especially with a little hot sauce on the side. * Chicken: Packed with deep flavor from the sofrito (onion, red pepper, tomato, garlic). It tasted like something slow-cooked and homemade, wrapped in a perfect pastry shell. * Ham & Cheese: Classic, juicy, and super satisfying. Think gourmet grilled cheese vibes in empanada form. The ambience at Pure is also worth mentioning. Whether you're inside or outside, it's a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy. The main room is cool and comfortable with air-conditioning, there's a secondary indoor area if you want something quieter, and the outdoor seating is spacious and laid-back -- ideal for soaking up the San Diego sun with a cold beer in hand. We came for the beer and ended up getting a full experience. If you're at Pure and see the empanadas available, grab a few -- you won't regret it.
Headed to Pure to try their Pantera release - an imperial stout with coffee and coconut. DELICIOUS! Tasting room serves hot empanadas so the lovely smell of spicy tastiness was quite the temptation. We had just eaten so maybe next time. Staff was extremely friendly and clearly knew the regulars who came in by name. It's not a large tasting room but several outdoor tables are available as well. Loved their use of a projector and wood panels to make a huge "tv".
While searching for a local stout came across the Chocosarus Rex. Loved the naming convention and knew I had to hit this place up. Been there plenty of times since and have never been disappointed. It's a rather smaller venue - but there are plenty of seats and it's a bit hidden which gives it a special atmosphere. Service has always been top notch, I've had plenty of discussions about Beers on tap - and have found some hidden gems. Most recently being their In for the Night - Brandy Beer. Seriously was one of the best Beers I had this year. There is always plenty of options and I've done a couple of flights - never found a bad Beer. There is generally a food truck available - which you can find out who's there on the website. I've had Tacos and Pretzels and never been disappointed by the food selection.
This was an excellent brewery in a quiet part of town. There are other breweries within walking distance and there is also a food truck to alleviate any cravings. A great place for friends to hang out.
This place has great beer, one of the best in the area. I also enjoyed some of the food trucks they had. However, they just recently changed to only serve empanadas which was very disappointing. I tried a few different ones and they were not good at all. Please bring back food trucks!
Came back on a wed night and it was still pretty busy. Not sure when they added it but they have even more indoor seating now in a small space to the right of the main tasting room. Definitely a nice addition for cooler nights where you don't want to sit outside. We got the super beta ($8.50 for 16oz) and the Chocosaurus ($12.5 for 10oz). The super beta is essentially a hazy IPA. I personally just find theirs pretty middle of the road but still enjoyable. My partner liked the Chocosaurus and it wasn't too sweet. It definitely drinks heavier though and packs a punch at 12%.

Pure's Tasting Room is a short trek off the beaten path in Miramar. The beer is cold and the staff is extremely friendly. Sami and Ted were beyond kind and extremely knowledgeable of the flavor profile of each beer on profile. While there isn't a kitchen, they do have a varying selection of Empanadas from the Empanada Kitchen that are absolutely delicious. read more

Ted was working when me and my husband went here and he was very knowledgeable and personable. There is no kitchen on site but they have empanadas available for purchase. We ended up brining in our own food from another restaurant which they allow. The beer was excellent with a wide variety of options. This is a great casual stop with a dog friendly outdoor patio if you are nearby. It is tucked away in more of an industrial area though so we are giving it four stars based on the atmosphere. read more

Everything was awesome! The food was so great and there's such a great diversity of breweries. Whatever type of alcohol you like they have it -- beers, ipas, ciders, excellent food trucks (way better than Olive Garden!). Best time ever I'm being honest. Great bartenders and great people in general. Go here and you won't miss it. read more

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. liked how there was two rooms, took the quiet one, both had bathrooms. Food truck wasn't there when I got there so gotta try it again one day. got the flight and was recommended all the new batches. I usually dont like cider but once there was a tree was nice and made a great start to the notes, as the staff was knowledgeable the build up combo was nice too, cloud mountain on the fourth note was memorable. but what was really interesting was the final sonora. the aroma was gently/shockingly good but the contrast to the taste was like woa. i think the order of notes made it better and a good finisher. got a good buzz and good time. read more
I would say that Pure Project tops my list of favorite breweries and while this Miramar location is a little small, the beer is great and the service and ambiance to match. I brought my out of town friend here and he loved the variety of beers and we ended up getting about 12 different one so I won't attempt to name them all. However, my favorites are always the stouts. Another plus is that a food truck came at about 5pm and parked right outside which was perfect for those that want some food along with their beer. read more

I was just visiting San Diego and decided to check out Pure Project--easily one of the best decisions of my trip. From the start, Ted and Inden made the experience unforgettable. Ted walked me through the tap list with genuine passion and knowledge, and Inden made the space feel warm and welcoming. Even as an out-of-towner, I felt like I was part of the community for a moment. The beer? Absolutely phenomenal. Each pour was thoughtfully crafted--whether you're into hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, or something experimental, there's something here for every palate. You can truly taste the quality and intention behind every brew. If you're in San Diego, whether you're a local or just passing through like me, Pure Project is a must-visit. Amazing beer, great vibes, and people who clearly love what they do. Cheers to Ted, Inden, and the entire team at Pure Project! read more

Small place but they do have an outdoor area. It's located in a random strip of businesses. But that could be a good thing, less foot traffic and random people. The service itself was really good. I decided on the Twilight Hues which is a "smoothie style ale" with mango and peach but my drink wasn't very smoothie like. It was more like a melted paleta. It was good though, not a strong alcohol taste and just a touch of sweetness from the fruits. I just wished it came in a smoothie form. Overall, the whole experience was pretty chill and relaxing. We stayed outside since the group I came with was too big to stay inside. read more

this is one of my favorite breweries in San Diego!!! staff is super friendly and the beers are really lovely. It's a spot we visit every time we head down to SD. they do really nice limited smoothie beers that are super thick and fruity. We've also had some really nice double IPAs and triples here. 100% recommend stopping by and grabbing a flight to try stuff out. they have beers to go as well! great spot!! indoor + outdoor seating big parking lot right outside! read more

Visited this brewery on our latest trip to San Diego. Great beer selection and high quality brews. We also tried the smoothie style beer, which I hear is the new up and coming style in the SD Craft community. It was delicious with banana and dragonfruit, sounds odd but it was perfect for a hot spring day! There was also a Hawaiian Poke Food Truck and great tunes. Plenty of of door seeting and umbrellas. read more
Oh wow, the beer Steve and I had here we were instantly impressed with! We only managed to have one of their beers so I'm sure the other beer options would be just as impressive. We had the Midnight in London porter. It was such a treat to have because this porter had a great take to it. It had Earl Grey tea in the flavor profile which was a major asset to this porter. Of course I do love Earl Grey tea! This beer reminded me of the London Fog tea drinks I sometimes get at coffee shops as well. There are other flavors in the beer as well like a roasty flavor and a hint of coffee. It sounds like these flavors could clash with each other in a beer but that is absolutely not the case here as the ingredients and flavor is laid out in a competent and expert manner making a genuinely unique and enjoyable beer. Something I am always on the look out for! read more

Small brewery with a lot of pours. This place is walking distance from Duck Foot Brewing. I highly suggest parking mid-way between each location. We had a great time chilling inside, but their patio is where it's at in our opinion. Their brews are full of flavor. If the description says it'll have fruity hints, those hints are going to be obvious. Our pours were absolutely delicious! read more
