The best ginger beer in Southern California. Non-alcoholic, amazing flavors made with fresh ingredients site. Lots of interesting people to chat with - I love going here. read more

Unique ginger beer only brewery with friendly service and lots of sampleable options on tap. The owner is committed to quality ingredients and a clean brewing process. Bf and I tried the yuzu, passionfruit, blood orange, prickly pear and yuzu blend flavors. We liked the straight up yuzu and blood orange best, so bought some cans to take home. The owner was kind enough to gift us a free can of the OG - since we're locals, generous gestures like that plus the quality product will definitely have us coming back. read more

I've only been to Preston's Ginger Beer once way back in 2022, honestly stumbled upon it while in the Miralani Plaza since it had VERY limited hours. I enjoyed the fact that there was such a wise selection, but honestly couldn't go back for years because it was only open for 4ish hours at a time 2-3 days a week. I see the hours have been updated on Yelp recently giving customers more opportunities to visit so maybe I'll swing by again to see what flavors are currently in rotation read more

Prestons' Ginger Beer - Craft ginger beer assortment - Beer Tours Near Me - San Diego, California

It was a hot summer day in San Diego, and I was craving some ginger beer. A quick Yelp search led me to Preston's Ginger Beer in the Sorrento Valley area. The menu looked interesting, so I decided to give it a try. The place has some seating and a cozy ambiance that feels like a mini local brewery. The owner seemed genuinely passionate about ginger beer, and some of the flavored recipes are family traditions passed down from his grandmother. I ordered a ginger beer flight and was pleasantly surprised by how distinct and flavorful each option was. The prices are also very reasonable. There aren't many places that offer fresh ginger beer with such a wide variety of flavors. If you're a fan of ginger beer, this spot is definitely worth checking out. read more

This place has amazing flavors! I love how much care and creativity the owner puts into their work! The location is a small little place in a business park. It is almost like a garage so it has some indoor and outdoor seating but I would recommend a jacket just incase. They had option of non alcoholic ginger beer from the tap as well as canned options for take away! They had awesome flavors like ube, pineapple cinnamon, and kumquat ( I tried all three of these flavors and they were amazing). He brews fresh batches every weeks so the flavors are constantly changing! It is always so exciting to see what flavors are available every time I go. As for the ginger flavor in the drink, the ginger flavor is present but it is not over powering. Honestly I would prefer a little stronger of a ginger flavor. The drinks are also pretty sweet. I had a great time trying this place out. There are also a few other business in the business park so you could go with a group of friends and meet all the needs and all try something different. read more

So cool that there is even such a thing as a ginger beer (non-alcoholic) tasting room! Located in an area with a bunch of other local shops too so you can hop around to a brewery, winery, coffee and food. The space itself is pretty small but they do have indoor and outdoor space. I wouldn't come with more than 8 people. They have quite the spread of different ginger beer flavors and you can get a glass for $5 or a flight of 6 for $12. Being our first time we did the flight. We got some flavors like ube, guava and passionfruit. My favorite actually ended up being the original. The ginger flavor is so nice and not artificial at all. My only thing is that they all are pretty sweet and as someone who doesn't drink pop at all, I was getting a little tired of the sweetness by the end of the flight. Service was super friendly! Definitely worth a try. read more

Loved Preston's! They are located in a complex with a few other businesses (breweries, coffeeshops) and are open Thursday - Saturday. A great non-alcoholic option. I shared a flight and every flavor was awesome! Service was super friendly as well. I recommend getting a flight and bringing some snacks for the perfect afternoon in the sun! read more

Located in a parking lot with other businesses - open Thursday-Saturday. If you are looking for a non-alcoholic option, this is perfect! There are so many flavors. I recommend going for the flight first. All flavors were delicious, not too sweet. There's spots to sit inside and outside. Get some chips and salsa from Mr. G's and enjoy it with these amazing ginger beers! Flavors rotate too! read more

As someone who doesn't really drink alcohol, discovering Preston's ginger beer was awesome. I had my first taste at Bunny Chow, a South African restaurant in Miramar. I enjoyed the ginger beer alot and looked up the location and found out they were not too far away. They're in the same lot as Jaunt so there isn't a lot of parking. We came by on a rainy day so it wasn't too busy. I was super excited to try the flight which included 9 flavors. Hopefully I can remember all of them. Guava, blood orange, key lime, original, honey lavender, holiday spice, CBD, blueberry, and prickly pear hibiscus. Our number one by far was guava. The next favorites were blood orange, prickly pear hibiscus, and key lime. The owner was super friendly and it was a nice atmosphere to hang out in. A lot of people who came in knew the guy working there. Definitely felt like a nice small town place where everyone knows your name. We even got a few cans togo. And if they don't have the can in the fridge of the flavor you want, they can just can it for you right then and there. Super awesome! read more

We stumbled upon this hidden jewel in the Miramar industrial park. Freshly made ginger beer! The owner Harry invited us in to try a few samples of his home crafted ginger beer. We tried samples of the original, prickly pear & hibiscus, honey & lavender, blood orange, cara cara, ube, and grapefruit. They were all good, but I'd have to say the best was the prickly pear & hibiscus. We got a 16oz glass bottle for $6. A bit on the pricey side, but still cheaper than getting it in a bar or restaurant. It's nice to support small local businesses. read more

Came here about a month ago but I definitely had to write a review about Prestons! Nothing like a nice ginger beer after your meal! The flavors here are pretty unique and tasty. The ube and original are my favorites. Most of them are pretty sweet instead of tarte but I enjoyed the taste of all the ones we tried! Also, there were snacks and baked goods to go along with your drink. Their biltong, which is a type of beef jerky stick made a great snack! You don't really see ginger beer shops in San Diego so this one was a nice find! Tucked away in a plaza, it's a cozy spot to chill and grab some drinks. read more

What a cool spot to come and hang out! The owners, Brooke and Harry, are great and so is the ginger beer! Prestons' is located in The Mirilani Maker's District. The MMD, which I've only recently discovered and I'm totally in love with, is an industrial park full of cool and interesting people and places. The district prides itself on being craft makers, builders, brewers, and more. Trust me when I say, you could easily spend 4-5 hours in the district and still have more to see and do. Okay back to Prestons'. If you're into Canada dry or any other off the shelf ginger beer, you're going to love it here. Order a flight and try the various flavors that might include the likes of Prickly Pear Hibiscus, Blueberry, Cherry Lime, Blood Orange, Honey Lavender and more. They may also have some R&D blends going so if you're trying to spice it up ask about one of those. My personal favorite was the ginger beer/peruvian pineapple blend... FANTASTIC! Ginger beer is on tap and you can get it in a glass, can, or 32oz. and 64oz. growlers. Cans $3, 32oz. $10, and 64oz $20. Oh and while your here, get your hands on one of the South African sausage rolls made by Perkys. They're $6 but are definitely worth it you're hungry or need a quick snack. We ordered one and it was so good we had to get another before heading out for dinner. Trust me, get one and you'll love it. But before you go, check out their merch. Harry selected some really cool designs, colors, and fabrics that really make their gear worthwhile. They didn't have my size in the one I wanted but Harry said they're getting more sizes in soon. Thanks again to Harry and Brooke for the hospitality and awesome beverages. We'll see you again soon! read more

Another one of my Miralani favorites! Seriously every store in this district is fueled with the most amicable and passionate owners. I really enjoyed chatting with this husband and wife team who let us sample all their unique delicious ginger beer flavors. My personal favorites were the lavender and passion fruit. BEST tasting ginger beer I've ever had! They are non-alcoholic however, you can add vodka to make the best cocktails. They also sell other tasty, one of a kind South African snacks like biltong, which is basically elevated jerky and its sooo good. The owner was kind enough to let us sample some after I casually asked what it was when I saw it on the menu. Officially a fan. Definitely don't miss out on this place! You're gonna love it. read more

I finally came in for a visit. It was during Covid so it was not so busy. I sampled all 7 flavors on tap n fell in love w the passionfruit, mango n pineapple mint. I bought 4 bottles. I love ginger beer in my cocktails n I've always stuck to Fevertree cos it's the only brand that has a strong ginger flavor. Preston is my new favorite now. You can totally taste the ginger. During my tasting, I felt a small buzz coming on lol. They have a tasting room n a small hangout area if you need to take a break from your alcohol walkabout in Miralani. Support your local small businesses. read more

Prestons' Ginger Beer - Got 2 passionfruits, 1 mango, and 1 pineapple mint - Beer Tours Near Me - San Diego, California

Stopped by because I saw the roll-up door was open. Usually they're closed when I've been in the area. I was blown away by the owner's sweet hospitality, welcoming me in even though he wasn't technically open and was preparing a delivery to a local high-end restaurant. (BTW, his ginger beer is sold at Seaside Market!) He told me a little about his story, how he got started and offered me a few samples to try, beginning with the award-winning flavor that had yuzu, mint, and something else. It was yummy! Looked like there were around 8-10 flavors on tap including a POG, matcha and ube. How fun is that! If you stop in on a typical day, there is some seating, merch to purchase and various flavors of ginger beer on tap to try. And the best part is you can take some for the road. I wasn't a fan of the ube flavored ginger beer but go try it and decide for yourself. There's gotta be some fans otherwise it wouldn't be featured. read more

I actually was visiting a nearby bakery and happened to see Preston's In the same complex. The complex has a bakery, a brewery, and a few other small businesses. When I saw Ginger Beer I immediately hoped they were open and found that they were. I was greeted by Preston, the owner/ Brewer. Preston is from South Africa and is making his grandmothers recipe to make delicious craft Ginger Beer. If you haven't had Ginger Beer before, it's usually a non alcoholic drink, but can be fermented to make it alcoholic. Preston is passionate about Ginger Beer and the Ginger Beer shows it. Fresh ginger is used to make his Ginger Beer that is a carbonated beverage with a great ginger kick. Preston crafted us a special Ginger Mocktail with ginger beer, Angostura bitters and an Italian cheery. WOW! So refreshing on a hot day. Preston had us sample some of the other flavored Ginger Beers he was working on: Kumquat Ginger Beer, Lychee Ginger Beer and another flavor I'm unsure of...but delicious. Such great Ginger Beer and a kind and gracious host, Preston is doing great things with a real passion for his craft Ginger Beer. This is the type of business and owner everyone should make the time to visit! read more

I missed the driveway/turn the first time around, it's shared with a bunch of interesting eateries (sushi, Mexican, donuts? and coffee if I recall correctly). Great little place with delicious ginger beer variations. I highly recommend a flight to try multiple options, some we loved and a few less so, they were all so different. We came on a Saturday afternoon and also had an ube/vanilla soft serve cone that was amazing, went great with the drinks. The couple across the table got takeout from a nearby spot to enjoy w their ginger beer. The soft serve may be certain days only, I saw an IG post the day before. Sounds like parking can be tight depending on the time of day and how busy the other places are. Great service, great beer and soft serve, would definitely recommend! read more

I tried their prickly pear and hibiscus ginger beer at a restaurant and I was impressed by how tasty and spicy this craft ginger beer was. I had to look up where to get it. Glad u found this place. Looking forward to go to their tasty room and try all the flavors. read more

Absolutely delicious ginger beer! A great nonalcoholic option for people visiting the neighboring winery or brewery. There are multiple flavors, but my favorite was the original. It was among the best ginger beers that I have had. I also loved the cute glass "cans." read more

There is always a great variety of amazing creative flavors! The owners are very personable and engaging, as well!

Prestons' Ginger Beer is by far one of the best ginger beverages you can find in SoCal. It's great they've opened up a tasting room with freshly brewed batches for you to quench your thirst with. I've been a fan of Prestons' Ginger Beer ever since I tried a bottle after browsing around Jimbo's Naturally in downtown. If you see this at your local market, grab one and pair it with a meal or just by itself as a beverage to savor. They're knocking out seasonal flavors on a regular basis but I am always a fan of their OG original ginger flavor and that is what I suggest trying first to get an appreciation for their old family recipe. Grab a case and pair it with some bourbon or vodka to make yourself a mouth water Kentucky Mule or Moscow Mule! Keep up good work and get those tasty ginger beers coming, I'll be back for more. read more

TEN STARS.........This is the best place in the whole world. The ginger beer is so fresh, tasty, and refreshing. If you like making your own craft cocktails, or want to act like a pro. If you go here to get this amazing stuff. Your drinks will impress everyone. Even if you don't drink booze, this stuff alone will make you fall in love with it just how it is. So many flavors to choose from. Excellent service and knowledgeable staff. The owners are some of the best people in the world. If you go once, I promise you will be a returning guest. Best advice, go try a flight of all the flavors. Find your favorite, purchase the house glass growlers. When you go back next time and bring your clean growlers back you receive a little discount. They also have amazing snacks, comfy seating. The playlist of music had me jamming the whole time. If you love supporting local businesses. I highly suggest this place. Thank you and congratulations on this amazing establishment. I will be back more frequently, and will be bringing friends! read more

A big 5star welcome to Preston's Ginger Beer here to the Miralan Makers District! I, as a humble consumer, are glad you have arrived. My family and I, and another family, visited last weekend when sadly many of the businesses within the Miralani complex had closed already. The folks at Preston's stayed open a bit late for us and poured us all of their amazing ginger beer with a smile. We had a great time. The child in our group loved the non-alcholic option and the adults love the variety and attention to detail in the flavors that are offered. Even the watermelon slush was packed full of real watermelon. Preston's is going to be a must stop next time I am down there and I am already looking forward to it. Cheers! read more

Great ginger beer great people. Always trying to build community over something we all love and enjoy. Really a family friendly vibe & fun for all ages! read more

First, I will say that I am not much of a Ginger Beer consumer like my family members. However as of today, I am! I had a wonderful experience like being in a tasting room sampling almost a dozen flavors such as: OG (Original Ginger), Prickly Pear, Blueberry, Blood Orange, Guava, Ube just to name a few. The blend was perfect where flavors or the ginger did not over power each other. Very balanced in other words, and authentic and refreshing. Thank you, Harry for taking the time to explain and answer questions. I will be returning with my family for more as they will no longer be buying Bundaberg Ginger Beer brand. read more

Delicious ginger beer! So many flavors. We tried the pomegranate, ube, and prickly pear with hibiscus (that one was my favorite). The pomegranate is more sour and the ube really does taste like ube (purple yam). We will definitely be back to try their other 5-6 flavors. They offer their ginger beer in can, bottle, small growler, large growler, or a flight so you can try them all! read more
