    Tepache IPA with 10 yeast strains, brown sugar, and pineapple... Delicious.
    Daniel B.

    This cozy family-owned tasting room is a hidden gem located behind Carlsbad Brew Supply. The beer is fresh and flavorful, many with a Mexican twist - such as the Tepache IPA with pineapple rind, brown sugar, and 10 different yeast strains, as well as the Fiddy/Fiddy creamsicle ale with orange and vanilla. They are growler-only and fill all growlers. They also offer 32- and 64-oz growlers for $5 each.

    Buy and fill ur growler gurlz!! ;)

    Low key and super friendly. (Note: this is not a tasting room; bring your growler!) there's a nice variety and tasty. Come get your brewing supplies!

    El Vanillo is a really good smooth beer. Like the ambiance of the place. Raul the owner is very nice and welcoming. I enjoy this scene, like the people.

    Smallest brewery I've seen yet. Decent beers, and nice brew supplies outlet. Growler fills too

    Came in to try some tasters in Carlsbad but didn't notice it was a growler fill only brewery. They're opening a tasting room in vista soon.

    What a fun place. They have an amazing selection of beers but they also have a yummy and varied…read moremenu. They had great specials on the Saturday night we went. It has a bit of a sports bar atmosphere but it is not truly a sports bar (they have the t.v.'s on playing sports but it doesn't have the sports bar feel. We saw families and dogs and friends and couples - so it is a place for all people. I love that it has two big openings to the outside so it doesn't feel stuffy inside. Our server was very friendly and patient but could have been a bit more attentive once we got our food as we ran out of napkins and water and had to flag her down. I had the lamb burger special and it was truly to die for. If I hadn't worried about being too full I could have eaten another because it was so good. I think this should be a regular menu item. It was cooked perfectly and it was truly mouthwatering with all the toppings. Usually I hate buns but this bun was so soft and squishy and NOT dry that I gobbled it down. It came with a side and I was a little disappointed because it lists the sides on the menu and a side salad was one of them but when I got the bill it was extra for the side salad. When I asked she said there is an upcharge for the side salad (which was not noted on the menu). But the salad was great too so no problem! One friend had the pizza which I would not rate as an amazing pizza (I am an East Coaster so I am a pizza snob) but my friend loved it. They had some very cool toppings for their pizzas too. If you are going to go for a really good pizza I wouldn't go here. Come here for the other stuff on the menu. My other friend had the fish and chips and loved it. The portions were all very good sized. I am looking forward to returning - especially if I can get that lamb burger again.

    Poor service. Quality was not good at all. We ordered the Caesar salad, mango fish tacos and the…read moreKobe sliders. 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.

She even offered us tastings of their beer to pair with the food. She came by multiple times to check in on us and the food. The pork chops and new steak bomb sandwich were delicious and the serving size is large. The place is very clean and breezy with multiple TVs playing sports so you and the family will not be bored. Ample parking too!! Will always come back when in Carlsbad!

Our server was also super great and attentive. I wish I could give a higher review but the food just wasn't that great for us. Kind of pricey and just tasted blah. I got the chicken chop shop salad, my husband got the Korean ahi poke bowl tasted kind of meh had to add a lot of sauce on the side to make it taste good, and my kids got their butter pasta with Parmesan that I had to try to salvage by adding extra salt, it didn't work there didn't eat it. It was also on the pricier side, just for pasta and butter it was $10.5 and a fountain drink. I mean at least add fruit or fries something on the side. My salad honestly tasted like those pre mixed ones you get at Costco but for $21 dollars. The place is nice and huge, it's loud and great for kids and families bc of the size. It was convenient for our large party. The parking can be hard if they're busy as it is right next to a hotel and it's prolly hotel parking too.
