I was pretty sad about that, but Michi has been an excellent addition to the local beer scene too. I enjoyed their IPA. My neighbor did as well (we are both IPA fans). In fact, he prefers Michi beers to Double Peak. They have a back room which is great for hanging out, with plenty of space to bring snacks and games for kids. I saw that they recently built an outdoor deck so we'll have to come back to check that out.

I tried the porter, DIPA and the seltzer. Although the DIPA was the best brew of the bunch, it was a warm day and the fruit punch seltzer was perfect. Service was friendly, the place was chill, clean and roomy. I'd go back.

We decided to share a few dishes, including the Carne Asada taco bowl, Birria tacos, and Chips, guacamole, and salsa. The Birria tacos were a standout, with incredibly tender and juicy meat. A must-try! The salsa was okay, but I'll probably pass on it next time (I love spicy salsa and it's pretty mellow). The taco bowl was fresh and delicious, making it a great choice for a casual meal.

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.

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.

It was an easy choice to take our pups out for a low key and intimate birthday celebration. We picked up doggie cupcakes at Dexters and went to Second Chance to enjoy a beer and local bbq. We both chose the Tabla Rosa on draft - it's tried and true. Although, I would love to see the Coco Rosa on tap here, it is one of my all time favorite. We will continue to support as they give back to dog rescues. Note: We went for the pizza but the vendor arrived late, so we ate bbq for lunch and got the pizza to go for dinner. #SecondChance #DogRescues #TablaRosa #CocoRosa

I was…read moredisheartened to see the San Diego loan close but I am glad to see that the brewery still exists in Vista. Now, onto the good stuff. The beer that Steve and I tried! We had the Just Add Plants which is an IPA which is West Coast style. In the flavor profile you can find hoppiness, bitterness, maltiness, piney flavors with a crisp aftertaste. A nice, refreshing IPA and was a well suited one for me and the craving of summer 2025 where sitting down to an IPA just sounds fantastic!

Pros: This spot is a good place to hang out if you're looking for a casual bar with activities like billiards and darts. The vibe is fun without being overly packed, which made it easy to enjoy the space. They have darts (which are free, you just leave your ID), a pool table, and a music queue system where you can pick songs to play, which adds an interactive element to the night. I didn't try the food but the drinks were solid and did not disappoint. The overall energy of the place was welcoming, and the service was friendly and attentive, which made the experience even better. It's one of those spots where you can relax, hang out, and have a good time. Cons: Parking here is probably the biggest downside. The lot is really small and gets packed quickly, so I wouldn't recommend relying on it. We parked nearby after eating at Copper Kings Burgers and just walked over, which ended up being way easier. Verdict: If you're looking for a fun, chill bar in San Marcos with games, music, and good drinks, this is a great spot to check out. Just plan ahead for parking, but overall it's definitely worth it and I would come back again!

Came here for my fiancé's birthday…read more There were a lot of cars in the parking lot, so I thought the place would be packed. But I can't tell if most people were just in the bar area - we were able to get a booth! The place was nice and loud since every one was having a good time. Several parties of 3+ and I saw 1 party of 6. They were doing an explorer menu from Yucatan. Interesting thing to do during Black History Month - I won't lie. I was surprised to see it. But we ordered from that menu. We ordered the fried plantain that came with a sauce and cilantro, sausage and pepper soup, and the BBQ pork. I enjoyed everything except for the plantain. They were basically a huge disc that was slightly crunchy. I was not expecting that since if I want a crunchy plantain, I will eat actual plantain chips. The soup was fantastic! It was a bit spicy but not overwhelming and full of flavor. Wish I ordered a bowl instead of a cup. And last but not least, the BBQ pork was very good. Served on lettuce as well, so if you are doing keto you can omit eating the tortillas that came with the dish. It also had pickled red onions and a salsa. The salsa was mild and with everything in the taco, flavors were balanced. We also ordered 6 Cajun wings. But today, they didn't seem as flavorful, a pity really. A grilled cheese was ordered but with hamburger meat inside. That seemed good and it came with fries. Washed all of this down with a sour that was called Boozy Berry & my fiancé had a West Coast beer. Food was enjoyable, atmosphere was fun. We will be back again.
