Barrel aged churro con chocolate
Fernando G.

We had a great experience at this Oceanside location and enjoyed the Thursday night bingo and food from Spinning Meats. The staff was gracious in reserving a big table so we can our friends join us in celebrating my wife's birthday. Service has been stellar so far during our visits here. We're are sure to come back for bingo nights and will try some of the other events as well.

The beers were delicious! This spot is pretty cool - no frills, but a gigantic back area for production, food truck, some seating indoors and out, and bomb beers. We each got a flight and a pint to follow. I liked almost everything I tried and I would absolutely go back. Perfect for a chill Friday evening.

Our last visit here as we are moving out of state. They had Mr cerviche a food truck over last night. Smaller crowd. Food was good there. Bartenders were great as usual. Their were heaters around. And Dog friendly as usual. They also had live music last night. A very nice gentle singer who sang and played oldies - the kind of music we liked. Homeward bound we are... Great night! Sorry we are leaving. But good job and wish u guys all the best and thanks for last night!

Band playing for the crowd.

Stopped in for some Imperial Stout and my favorite Thumbs Up Bacon and BBQ. It was a busy Saturday night, but always a great time. Food was excellent, Thumbs Up was excellent as usual. Try the Rule of two - 5 yr imperial Stout and the Viva La Beaver - they are amazing! The place was rocking with the band playing, Dodgers on the Screens and the large crowd.

Belching Beaver's Peanut Butter Milk Stout.

I have had Belching Beaver on more than one occasion but my list guided me to delve into their beer once more. I got a beer that I have had before which is something I don't often do when making a post about a brewery with more than location that is on my list. But I enjoy the Peanut Butter Milk Stout so much that I had to do a repeat. It was just too irresistible. The flavor highlights to keep your taste buds peeled for are milk, sweet and coffee. The texture of the beer is smooth and creamy and that's very pleasant to experience when having this very fine stout.

Delicious! I was expecting a bit more heat, but it's still awesome!!! Also tried one of their sister company, Hop Habit - Desk Pop West Coast IPA. Oh so good!

Phantom Bride IPA
Jon T.

In San Diego Area for the week for a work meeting. Following the meeting i looked up local breweries, came across Belching Beaver & saw that i was only about 10 minutes away. Decided to make my way there. Excellent choice. The Phantom Bride IPA has always been one of my favorite beers of all times. I've always had to buy it canned so it was nice to be able to have it on draft. I was impressed with how good the Red Ale was as well. I was disappointed that there wasn't a food menu , but then i saw there was a food truck right outside. Decided to try the Adobada (Marinated Pork) burrito and it definitely hit the spot. Overall 10/10. From the good beer, good food, and good service.

Inside.  Spacious and attractive.
Craig W.

Large, spacious location. Nice patio and plenty of seating inside, too (including couches). They even have a stage and a band was playing when we arrived. The beers, as always, are high quality. I don't always love all of them but if you get a flight, there are plenty to choose from. If you're into hard seltzers, the Beav is producing a lot of them now. I'm not a fan of seltzers but someone must be drinking them. Total different vibe here from the Pub 980 location. The crowd here is older and, surprise, mellower. One is not better than the other. They're just different. They often (always?) have rotating food vendors on site. Great beers, great use of space.

Bingo night!
Amy R.

Went there for bingo night. It was fun! We tried 3 kinds of beer and enjoyed them all. One tasted like a blueberry muffin, one like PB&J, and one was just a normal light beer. They have rotating food trucks but we didn't try the food. Will definitely check it out again someday.

My flight of stouts. Best flight ever!!
Don K.

After drinking some of their peanut butter stout in a can, I had to make sure that I visited their brewery. Yes, it's a long pilgrimage from Seattle, but boy was it worth it. Turns out that they've made it their mission to incorporate peanut butter into nearly all of their stouts. Their flight is rather on the expensive side, but I can honestly say that it was one of the best if not THE best flight of beers I've ever had. Where else have I ever had 4 stouts in a flight? Never, until now. To start, the PB latte golden stout was exactly what it tasted like. Even the color was much lighter to match. PB milk stout nitro was also exactly as I'd imagined; smooth and dark. The surprise of the bunch was the Snappin' ginger stout; not too ginger forward, nice depth of flavor and a long finish. It was so good that I went back for seconds. The Viva La Beaver - Mexican chocolate stout was subtle but also with a nice long finish. While I lament that I don't live near this brewery, it's a good thing, as I probably would park myself here on a bench every week. Also the tater tots from Copper King Burgers were superb! So glad that I made the trip here.

The Hubs and I love to do Saturday beer days - We will bounce around to different breweries to try…read morenew brews and grab some tasty bites. Bottlecraft has several locations, but we have both agreed that the Oceanside location is our favorite. Bottlecraft is a bottle shop and tasting room - This means that you can taste a variety of beers, which taps continuously rotating - then pick up cans of your faves.. or try brand new cans to bring home. We love to grab a spot at the bar {typically to watch whatever sporting event is on TV}, or on the back outdoor patio space if we come with a group. When seated at the bar area, you can also chat with the amazing beertenders and ask for their recommendations if you're unsure what to try {I will always recommend a good Hazy or Double IPA}. The team here is always on point - Providing fantastic service as well as friendly conversation while you enjoy your brews! Not a beer drinker?! Hard Kombucha, Cider, Wine and Non-Alcoholic options are available - There is something for everyone! While enjoying your brews, if hunger hits, visit Shootz Fish & Beer - This is a stellar food spot tucked in the corner as you enter the shop. Do not skip out on the Potato Taco! It's the perfect pairing with a good beer - You will thank me later for introducing this combo into your life! ;-) Along with phenomenal beer, Bottlecraft is pet friendly and just a hop skip and jump to the beach - What's not to love here?! Calling all beer peeps - Are you on Untapped?? If so, let me know.. I'd love to connect and see what brews you are currently loving.. or not.

If you are looking for a place to try new beers this is the place to go. Not only do they have a…read moregreat selection on tap they also have a great bottle/can selection. I was able to find beers that I have not been able to find anywhere else. Tried the sour that was on tap and bought the cascade kriek sour. There is a small corkage fee if you buy bottles and want to consume them there but it's worth it. They have a nice outdoor area that seems to be connected to the other businesses they are connected to. Will come back to try more beers.
