The air smells like…read morefresh hops and toasted bread, and the laid-back atmosphere is perfect for kicking back with a cold one. They have a huge variety of beers like crisp lagers, IPAs, rich stouts. They even have a couple of non-alcoholic choices. I'm not a huge beer, drinker, but I am pretty certain that there is something for every kind of beer drinker. There are two different Belgian blondes and I tried them both. Wonderful and refreshing, especially in the hot San Diego weather lately. We ordered from the sandwich shop inside and split a sandwich and some saucy chicken wings--both were amazing! The sandwich was piled high with meat, melty cheese, and just the right crunch from the toasted bread. The wings were flavorful, sticky, and perfectly spicy. It's also dog-friendly, which we love, and there were lots of TVs playing the game, making it a great spot to chill, snack, and cheer. Everyone's super friendly and helpful. It just has a good vibe.

    Awesome people, awesome beer and awesome sandwiches! We love Culver's!…read more Tucked away off of Palomar Airport Rd. If you want to hang with cool beertenders, and cool locals that like to watch Padre games and enjoy great beer this is the place to be. The sandwiches are on a different level!

    To say I was blown away would be an understatement…read more Most breweries outsource their food (which is perfectly fine) or offer chips or popcorn or other light snacks. This place has a full blown menu with absolutely excellent food and an enormous beer and wine list (including tons of beers from other breweries). The food here is not "hey, you're at a brewery, the beer comes first" food. This food is absolutely legit. Bring your family. Bring your kids. I cannot say I am a patty melt expert but my patty melt (with bacon added) was, by far, the best patty melt I have ever had in my life. I could almost dream about it. It was an absolute enormous thing, and the patty was juicy and humongous and I loved every cheesy, bacony, meaty bite of it. Bring your snake jaws for this one. The sliders with bacon and cheese were also excellent. The buns were a step above normal buns but they definitely added to the meal. For the beer, I went with a flight of very heavy stouts and barrel-aged brews. I liked them all but the one from the bourbon barrel was magnificent and I also made sure my designated driver took the wheel on the way home. Some of these beers are quite powerful. I am not a dessert guy, or a root beer guy, but the root beer float was insane. It is a thing of beauty. Our service was wonderful and the interior decor of the restaurant was fun and interesting. Fantastic food. Very good beer. Plenty of free parking in the lot. I cannot believe I have never been here before. I hope to visit again soon.

Mind you we've been going to the Encinitas Ale House location for years and were hopeful that it was the same as what the staff told us in Encinitas. - it is not. This was so bad. I would never come back here again. Overcooked fried fish tacos, overdone French fries and Caesar like "salad in a bag". Our server was immediately not interested in us when we did not order alcohol and then never offered or refilled our water even one time. Big location. It was not packed so there was zero excuse for how bad it was.

    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.

After talking with one of the waiters and…read morea cashier in the gift shop, it sounds like this incredible property may be closing within the next six months. If that's true, it will be a real loss for the community. I absolutely love this venue. The layout of the restaurant, the outdoor gardens, the stonework, landscaping, and overall atmosphere make it one of the most unique brewery destinations in Southern California. Every detail of the property feels thoughtfully designed and creates an experience that goes beyond just food and drinks. We recently attended a baby shower in one of the outdoor event spaces, and it was perfect. The service was outstanding, the food was excellent, the drinks were great, and the staff was incredibly accommodating to our group's needs. They helped make the event memorable for both the parents-to-be and all of the guests. Places like this are hard to replace. Stone Brewing Escondido has always been more than just a brewery it's a destination. It would be incredibly sad to see such a beautiful and iconic location close its doors.

They still have their large pretzel with mustard and cheese sauce that we love. And their sandwiches are delicious. As for service, you order from a QR code at the table, and food and drinks are brought to you. Not a lot of interaction with staff, but that's okay. I highly recommend a visit.
