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.

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!

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!

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.

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.

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!

Such an amazing experience every time here! Very welcoming and the owner Harry is great! You can really see the passion he has behind this amazing ginger beer! Highly recommend checking this place out! Grab one to go or stay a while and have some good conversations with friends. They offer growlers as well!

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.

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.

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!
