    Spiced apple slush
    Susan D.

    Decided to check out this brewery after tasting one of their beers at a local restaurant, and it was definitely worth the trip. It's a quaint place located in a business park. Parking was easy which was great, especially on a Saturday afternoon. Outside the brewery by the entrance, there's outdoor seating (benches & umbrellas) and a food vendor. We walked in and sat at the bar. There were lots of seating areas in the brewery as well. One of the bartenders, Jake, was absolutely awesome! He gave us some tips on what to order and he was patient and very helpful in answering our questions. It was a great menu with many types of drinks to choose from. We ordered a flight which was a great deal, (5) 5oz beers for the price of 4. We picked the Cherry Limeade (hard seltzer), the Tropical Mist, Brass Bell, Mango Bramble (hard smoothie), and the Uncovered Roots. After our flight, we ended with our "dessert", the Spiced Apple Slush and the Corylus. There wasn't a drink we didn't like. Each drink we tried was either crisp, refreshing or smooth, all with great flavor. Not normally a beer drinker myself, these beers and hard seltzers/ciders were off the hook! So much so, we bought some to take home and for gifting. Overall, it was a great experience. The employees were friendly, personable and helpful. Even some of the patrons that we met there were equally friendly. This place has a great vibe and we'll definitely be back!

    Always great to visit Pure Project and the Vista location provides the added convenience of great food trucks. This is a good spot to meet with friends, enjoy some good vibes, good service, and great tasting brews. This has been my go to place for some good Stout options. We're sure to be back soon.

    I really enjoy coming to this hidden location in an industrial section of Vista. On my last visit, I met about 10 friends after attending an outdoor concert. It was perfect. They have long picnic tables set up so we all could fit and sit together. They have quite a few different seating areas both inside and outside to accommodate whatever you may need. When we arrived, the sun was setting, and the sky was really pretty all around us . We tried seltzers, we tried stouts, hazy's and a few other things. They are very generous, informed and patient as they let you taste the various options before making your choice. I like to do their tasting board when I come, because I always discover something new. Everyone who I have brought here is always pleasantly surprised by the location and happy with the selection.

    If you're at Pure Project Brewing, hope Ernie is working. He's friendly, knowledgeable, and gives spot-on recommendations. Ernie makes the whole experience feel easy and welcoming, definitely a big reason to come back!

    Love coming here. The beers are simply just delicious and well made. It's our favorite brewery. They have something for everybody. I love that they have a hard seltzer option, their smoothie series and their murkshakes. Big brewery with plenty of seating and outdoor seating with a food truck!

    Beer flight. Sooo many options available!

    I'm not a beer drinker, but they have some fruity tasting beers! This place has A LOT of seating area! Both inside and outside. I'm not sure if the Woodfield pizza is there all the time, but there was woodfire pizza available for purchase. About 20$/pizza.. They also had snacks inside for purchase. Pet friendly. And the service was fast and friendly.

    A lil' stout and some haze

    Always had a passion for Pure. We've been fans since day one back on Miramar Rd. Miss the old days of knocking back some murk inside that little tap room. We are elated Pure has expanded to Carlsbad and Vista these past few years. Always good beer and always a good time. Cheers!

    Definitely one of my favorite breweries to visit in North County and also one of my favorite breweries to drink at! I've came here a few times on a weekday afternoon (like 3 pm) and it's not so crowded here. Parking could get pretty packed but I come when it's not as busy so it's not so bad. Everyone there is super friendly and welcoming as well. They allow me to have small samples to see how some drinks taste like and it makes me decide if I want to get that drink or if I want to drink something else. All their drinks have been so good and definitely not disappointing. The best drink so far has been their anniversary beer, which is called One of Us. Definitely grab it while you still can before it's gone! I'm really happy they're located in Vista, which is close to me, so I can visit here much more often!

    Had a great time and great beer at Pure Project. My favorite beers were the Hop dust and the Diamond dust. This is a large brewery with a lovely view indoors that I think makes it a win/win. Bill was also welcoming and super helpful in our selection of brews.

    I love all places that are pet friendly!

    This was the last location we got to visit & my new favorite location!! Customer service was amazing! Place is so clean and I love all the plants! Lots of merch and this day didn't have a food truck and closed early for a private event but we will be back! Love, love & LOVE!

    We stopped by Pure Project-Vista and had a few pours. Jake served us and was so friendly and helpful. He made our visit very enjoyable. We will definitely stop in the next time we are in town.

    I have been here before and it is one of the best breweries currently in San Diego. They have a beer style for every beer lover. Sours, to stouts to IPAs and Lagers. They do them all very well. The service is always polite and helpful when selecting a beer. The layout is pretty good. There is a nice bar area, some private tables and a separated area off to the right side. Sort of your typical industrial brewery with a nice tasting room. I came here for a local club's meeting and decided to grab some food as well, which was very good. They decided to offer us a tour of the brewery and a sample out of the bright tank! Great tour, beer and experience.

    This place is one of my favorite local breweries, I can always get a great sour beer here. They have a large selection of beer to choose from all very balanced and fresh, I have had most of them but I prefer the sour and smoothie beers from here. The service is always great, and it's a very chill atmosphere. They also have food trucks in front, and the food is always good.

The food is great, the cocktails are excellent, and the overall vibe is casual but lively. They also have one of the best happy hours, with daily happy hour from 3-6 PM plus a late-night happy hour during the last hour of service. We definitely take advantage of both. Some of our favorites: the smash burger, the tallow fries, and the chicken sandwich. Everything we've tried has been solid. Even the kids' chicken fingers are great! On top of that, all of their cocktails are consistently well-made. Whether we're stopping in for a quick happy hour drink or a full meal, Prey always delivers. Highly recommend!

I parked in the garage that's closest (shared with apartments). Prices were reasonable, food was pretty good, beer tasted like to was supposed to. What could have made it better? The service. It was slow and not super pleasant. It didn't seem too busy anywhere in the place so I'm not sure what the delays were. Maybe the server was new, but she didn't seem too happy and forgot my drink. When she finally came back to check on us she asked if I would like to order a drink (umm, I just want to beer that I ordered ten minutes ago, please). I'd go again if others chose to meet up there... and just hope for the best.

    What does it say about me that I picked this place for dinner because it has "beaver" in the name?…read moreI don't want to know! But my excuse is that I did it for the children. Inexplicably, my kids love beavers, and so when we were staying in Carlsbad for the night and looking for a place to eat, how could we not visit a place called Belching Beaver? We couldn't not! And so we did. It turns out, Belching Beaver is a very family-friendly brewery, with lots of arcade games, lawn games, and an extremely laid-back atmosphere. I wasn't going to get a beer, but then I saw that the brewery did a collaboration with the Deftones to create an IPA called Phantom Bride. I had to get a pint. Chino Moreno made me do it! It was citrusy and refreshing, and just the thing to enjoy while sitting on the outdoor picnic tables. Belching Beaver offers your average pub food. My kids got chicken tenders and fries, and mac and cheese with fries. I got a poke bowl, which sounds like a risky choice at a brewery, but it was actually really good and fresh! Not too saucy, either. We also got the carne asada 980 Nachos, which are huge and come on a baking sheet. Plenty enough to share! This place is tucked away in what looks like an office plaza. I'm learning that a lot of breweries in this area are posted up in situations like this. You look like you're driving into a nondescript place to get your contract notarized, but instead, you happen upon a cool restaurant and brewery such as this.

    Service was good but food options weren't as numerous as expected. Obviously this is more of a pub…read morethan a restaurant so if your main objective is food and not beer then other options might be considered for dining. Parking not too difficult.

    This place is great!…read more Wife and I came out on a date night to this local spot we've been trying to come to for months. It was on a Friday night, the place was packed, and difficult to find a spot to park. The line to order was almost out the door, but still fast to get through, and we were quick to choose what we wanted before struggling to find a spot to sit and talk. After about 15 minutes, our order was ready and we got to enjoy our food. We started with the Carne Asada Nachos, Refried Beans on the side. The meat was flavorful, very tender, and plentiful atop a pile of crisp and fresh tortilla chips. The cheese was nice and salty and the sour cream was warm to the point where it drizzled over it all nicely. All in all, it was a very tasty start to the night. The only two issues I had with it were that the guac was a bit overly pureed, making it kind of runny. And the refried beans had a very sour flavor, making me think that they were over the edge of going spoiled. I had to thank my wife's aversion to eating beans, helping us avoid having them spooned on top, which would have ruined this course. I also had an Al Pastor Taco, Craft Coast Style. The whole it was crisped up well, the cheese forming a great crust on the inside of the taco. The meat was sweetly marinaded, flavorful and delicious. On top of it was a good amount of beans, onions, cilantro, and guacamole, making for a good sized taco without any overflowing. It was pretty damn tasty. So, our first trip out here had more highs than lows, resulting in a very positive initial dinner. I'm sure those beans were just a one-off, at least I hope they were. And there's still hope that the guac may have had too much lime or had been overly mixed this time around. A second trip is definitely in the cards, with more of the family to expand what comes to the table.
