(Drank 04/07/26 TU @ 4:00pm): Waddle up, stick each foot in front of the other, and duck inside to see what is brewing! My friend and I made a final brewery stop at Duck Foot Brewing before heading home. If you knew anything about me, you knew my love for beer had no boundaries and wherever I may be I was always searching for any possible breweries to sneak into and try. Would I quack with glee after I set foot in this brewery or duck out the back never to return!? QUICK BIO Founded in 2015 by Matt Delvecchio and Brett Goldstock, their beers were gluten-reduced due to Matt's celiac disease; frankly, he wanted to be able to drink beer and found a way to do it without harming himself! "Duck Foot" was a snowboarding term if you rode with your toes angled away from each other, then you could switch to your right or left foot while going down the slopes. It was a deft way of maneuvering, but also made you look kinda silly - which summed up the staff pretty well. All of this zaniness contributed to the funny beer names and quirky packaging artwork. PURCHASE(S) Duck Foot Brewing Co. Wee Bam! Scottish Ale Beer 5.1% ABV 16floz Draft (8.00 x2): Copper red color, caramel dank malty aroma, light body, caramel grainy malty flavor, smooth finish, and caramel earthy grainy malty aftertaste. My favorite of the two, I wish I had some corned beef to pair with it! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=lnSHcYoyfT7McA3QfztlLA Duck Foot Brewing Co. Friar Duck Belgian Table Beer 4.0% ABV 16floz Draft ($7.50): Dark amber color, belgian bready malty aroma, light body, belgian bready malty flavor, crisp finish, and bready malty aftertaste. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=hXUC01hAAMYuEDSEuManOg Friar Duck T-Shirt M ($28.00): Not like I needed ANOTHER t-shirt... but dammit, I loved the graphic on the tee, and the brewery was a fun place! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=Ym8hJDRQyqS3luy5HvwbKA Stickers ($2.00 x2): I loved stickers especially when I placed them on the walls of other breweries! https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=FrZP_f00bH_RFduYFJkcdg SERVICE We were warmly greeted by a friendly woman behind the bar. As we approached, she gave us a quick rundown of their beers and allowed us time to make our decision. Soon enough, we placed our orders at the bar, our drinks were ready in seconds, and we were off to grab a table. Everything was easy-peasy - cheers! PARKING (FREE): Located within an industrial work park, there were plenty of spots everywhere - 'nuff said! ATMOSPHERE, DÉCOR, AMBIENCE A spacious layout https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=57KdYg48K-IMOHEH0rg9IQ with the bar/order counter directly in front of you when you entered, a highly-visible tap menu https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=issos1QjwbLqHYCYJAl2pA on the wall behind the bar, many communal benches and tall tables inside and on the front patio, brewing tanks in the background, games https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=D78FJjUsG_FjQX_bUZvHGw in a corner, and on this particular night there was a well-attended astronomy presentation https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=0&select=xaEnKPrdF3diRb_uOqYBAg which was a first for me. Plenty of natural lighting entered through the large front windows and doors while an assortment of electric ceiling lights filled in the rest. There were several TVs throughout while I couldn't recall any background music. https://www.yelp.com/user_local_photos?userid=8jVT2inwc8GIQ6sH2UG9Vw&start=24&select=rOS9_YXUfQmMuzGaZqEnYw ATTIRE Totally casual, so I would normally be in a t-shirt, boardshorts, and flip-flops. OVERALL We had a chilling time at Duck Foot Brewing and would plan another visit to try more of the over 15 beers on tap as well as wine and slushies. The two beers I had were very tasty and easygoing, the prices were comparable, and the service was straightforward. Furry family members were allowed! They also had happy hour specials and nightly entertainment such as trivia, music, and more. Ample free parking was always a major plus. I found complete value based on the prices, service, and experience noted above (TOTAL paid experience was around $60.00 BEFORE any discounts, points usage, and/or tip). And, they accepted my credit card of choice... AMEX! 5.0 STARS read more

Saw the Why? play here recently, which was a great time. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Also super friendly staff, funky decor and a free photo booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] However, I've just not enjoyed the beers I've tried here. There was a rocket pop flavored beer slushee that I sampled but it was too bitter so I opted for real beer instead. The Bees one and an amber option on tap that day were not what I expected. One even tasted like an IPA, but was not labeled as such. Props to Duck Foot for hosting local bands and community events - will give the beer another shot next time I attend an event here. read more

Outstanding, gluten-reduced beer! Plus, weekly events like Comedy Night, SD Bluegrass Jam, and Jazz Jam. Duck Foot brews exclusively gluten-reduced beers, all of which are full flavored and delicious. I recently enjoyed a tasty Porter past Midnight, which was full of malty, roasted flavor. Very drinkable and not at all bitter or coffee heavy. [[HIGHLIGHT]]The folks at the Bluegrass Jam made the afternoon pleasant, and tacos were available just outside.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] The smoked marlin taco was wonderful. It is hard to believe that they opened 10 years ago! I am a fan of Duckfoot, and highly recommend giving them a try! read more

Second time coming to Duck Foot for a Cocu Social (cooking class) and let me tell you Duck Foot never lets me down. They offer a variety of diffrent brews making sure everyone can enjoy a beverage of their liking. My go to this time was the 2am Tacos which is a mexican lager. Super smooth to sip on and light. Good addition to this cooking class. [[HIGHLIGHT]]They also offer free water, an arcade that does have a photo booth.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They tend to have food trucks in their parking lot incase you're hungry. PS you can leave your car parked overnight which is such a huge PLUS. Thanks for everything Duckfoot, see you soon! read more

Duck Foot has been in the SD brewing scene for quite a while and I have been missing out! We popped in when we were searching the map for smaller breweries that were new to us and we were so glad we did. We ordered 2 flights so were able to sample 10 of their beers and each was fantastic. I can't even remember what I got but each seemed to be better than the last! They have a large selection as well, probably 15-20 to choose from. [[HIGHLIGHT]]There's a small arcade inside and per the posters on the wall they host lots of community events like comedy and jazz nights.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] read more

Duck Foot Brewing in Miramar next to the pyramid. What sets Duck Foot apart from the rest are the Gluten reduced beers which makes it a great option for patrons who have gluten sensitivity. On this visit I went with the cerveza style lager appropriately named 2AM Tacos. I asked the bartender about the name and he said they were sitting around eating tacos at 2AM and decided that a beer like this would go good with tacos at 2AM. Great name and great story. I loved this lager as it is perfect with a meal. Love the fact that there is ample parking and plenty of seating both inside and outside. I had a great time spending my lunch hour at Duck Foot Brewing and cannot wait to go back. read more

Been here a few times but just went recently for a comedy night.

Never thought I'd have such good rating for this place. I hated it when they were mainly a gluten-reduced brewery. I didn't like the beers. But now, wow, what a change. They have a wide variety of beers and almost every single one that I've tried was above average! They also have lots of events and hoppy hour from 4:20-6:20 where the Liquid Jam is only $5/pint. They have seatings both inside and outside and there's even a small arcade room! read more

Always enjoy trying out the breweries in San Diego! The latest one was Duck Foot Brewing. With this brewery experience Steve and I had the Kook Slams, an IPA which was pretty good. It was a solid installment to our brewery adventuring. Flavor highlights to expect with this beer is hoppiness, sweetness with a definite dankness presence. The body of this beer is fairly creamy but still is a fairly light IPA which I can appreciate. Had a good time with my first beer experience with this brewery. read more

We heard about this place from someone in Old Town San Diego. We stopped by on our way home from our visit to San Diego. What a great find. Located in an industrial area but easily accessible off of the freeway. Great environment with plenty of seating and some outdoor seating. All the beers our gluten free which is awesome. My wife got a flight and also tried a couple of others. All were tasty and an amazing variety. Inside were a couple of tv's and shirts and accessories to shop for. Both bartenders were very helpful and knowledgable. My one suggestion as this is a gluten free place. Creating a partnership with the local pizza shop (Pastalini) which is around the corner. They have some gluten free options which we picked up and brought in with us. If each business supports each other it could be a win win. The reason this came up is there was a food truck on site but it had no gluten free options. The staff allowed us to bring in the pizza and salad which helped make our stay at Duck Foot much more enjoyable. read more

Heading back home from San Diego me, the hubby and our friends decided to take a detour to Duck Foot brewery. The decor is definitely 80s/ early 90s vibe. Parking was easy and right out front. There was a food truck there as well right outside. Service was fast. The hubby and friend each ordered a flight of beer. Me and my friend ordered the margarita beer slushee with tajin on the rim in a 5oz glass. It was so delicious I would have gotten two if we were closer to home lol. We sat outside, drinking our drinks and enjoyed the warm sunset. read more

[[HIGHLIGHT]]Fun place to hang out and listen to music.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] [[HIGHLIGHT]]Ive gone on Tuesday nights which they have twice a month an open mic style jazz session.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] They usually have a food truck outside on those nights, and I've always loved the food. Sometimes tacos, quesadillas, Greek, etc. read more

Very chill brewery with really friendly service. It's a smaller space but they do have both indoor and outdoor seating. We got the sour on love (sour cherry berliner weisse), st. Alfanzos pancake breakfast (imperial stout with coffee and maple syrup) and the purple reign (imperial tart with plum apricot and blackberries). All the drinks weren't too sweet or too sour. I could have probably used a bit more fruit flavor but overall very enjoyable. read more

Great beer, service, no real food offering here but there was a food truck out in the parking lot during our visit. I would question for cleanliness though... There was a dog that looks to be the store/owner's roaming around the entire store and got cozy with everyone... I was fine until 10 mins in that I started sneezing and got watery eyes that I realized... there may be dog hairs in the air... I had to rush downing my pint as I almost couldn't breath towards the end.. go at your own risk! read more

Great brewery amongst all the other ones along Miramar! Came here for a trivia night a few weeks back too! Food/Drinks: ORANGE CREAMSICLE BEER SLUSHIE. I would drink this forever but apparently they rotate their beer slushie flavors often. Beer selection is really good but saw they didn't have any porters or stouts which made me sad. Theres always this Mexican food truck outside if you want food also. Service: They have this awesome dog that hangs around and will chill with you if you have food hoping you drop some haha. Ambiance: They got TVs inside and lots of seating both inside and out. Solid place to hangout with some friends/fam/coworkers. read more

I had never been here despite a friend of mine working a food truck posted up here for a while. One of my favorite comedians, Amy Silverburg was slated to do some standup there and I was definitely going to go. I had a great beer there. It was a blonde which I'm not usually a fan of. [[HIGHLIGHT]]Turns out they have standup comedy often, like weekly! That's a big draw and it pulls lots of people out.[[ENDHIGHLIGHT]] I would definitely stop by again for some comedy! read more

I celebrated the first truly warm sunny day in San Diego this summer by enjoying a flight on an outdoor picnic table. This was my second visit and resolve to come here more often. My favorite from this trip was Hazy McBeerface, being a gigantic fan of that style (east coast bias of juice bomb IPAs). But I think the one I will remember most is Draft Punk. Not only was it very good as a standalone, but for me it was an excellent palate cleanser in between the other pours. Stop by and bring a friend to this welcoming cool spot. read more

A wonderfully brewery tucked away in an industrial area of Miramar. We searched out this spot on our way out of San Diego and were not disappointed. A wide variety of brews to choose from, and a great smelling food truck serving tacos/burritos/nachos/quesasdillas. If we had not just eaten earlier, we would have order some food. But we had drinks and sat on the patio and played games--tabletop ring hook and Rock Em Sock 'Em Robots. We got flights and the wives got mini BEER-garitas with like flavor. All the beers tasted great, my personal fave was the Belgian. Our server at the bar couldn't have been friendlier, welcoming upon entry, and telling us a little bit of their history. They've been open since 2015, and will continue to thrive as they're legit! Look them up and stop in read more

This is a Duck Foot household. My boyfriend can't have gluten, so this is like his mecca. And while I'm usually game to try a gluten free thing or two, all of the gluten free beers I'd had up until Duck Foot were straight garbage. Duck Foot tastes like *actual beer.* Beyond that, it tastes like great beer! They always have a solid lineup of beers to try, and I haven't had a bad one yet. I'm partial to their tripels and quads, myself. My boyfriend is not really an IPA guy, but he is obsessed with their Kook Slams west coast IPA. It's a touch far from where we live, but we are always planning our next trip out to Duck Foot, and constantly searching the liquor stores near us to see if they carry it. Don't skip out on their merch--they always have some awesome stuff! read more
