Great beer and always friendly! Fun without being overwhelming or too loud, and lots of variety in beverage options.

Pure's Tasting Room is a short trek off the beaten path in Miramar. The beer is cold and the staff is extremely friendly. Sami and Ted were beyond kind and extremely knowledgeable of the flavor profile of each beer on profile. While there isn't a kitchen, they do have a varying selection of Empanadas from the Empanada Kitchen that are absolutely delicious. read more

Pure Project is a great brewery with solid beer and a really relaxed, good-vibes atmosphere. It's one of my favorite spots to just hang out and unwind. I usually go for the tasting menu option and a beer flight so I can try a variety of their brews, which are always well-made and interesting. The empanadas are also a great snack to pair with the beer. Overall, it's a perfect spot if you're looking to chill, enjoy quality craft beer, and spend some time in a laid-back environment. Highly recommend. read more

Absolute favorite brewery in San Diego, they always make the best hazy (murky) IPAs as well as some really good and interesting smoothie beers and sours. Like going to this location sometimes since it's smaller and has a more intimate vibe. Staff here is always amazing and fun to chat with read more

The ratatouille empanada was awesome! And vegan! I had a flight. Every beer was good. The smoothie was REALLY good. The service was awesome and my 20 yr old said she dug the vibes. She had Caprese. Empanada was delicious too. . My daughter drove and I didn't even finish my flight . Great bang for your buck. read more

We originally stopped by Pure Brewery in San Diego for one thing: the beer. Specifically, Rain -- a crisp, refreshing brew I've enjoyed before from a can, but this was my first time having it fresh on tap at the brewery. And wow, it did not disappoint. Light, super drinkable, and perfect for a warm San Diego afternoon. Ironically, despite the name, it'd be just as perfect on a rainy day. It's one of those beers that just works in any weather. And then came the unexpected highlight: the empanadas. Offered at the bar on behalf of Empanada Kitchen, these were seriously next-level. We tried a few and loved every one: * Sweet Corn & Basil: Total standout. The corn tasted super fresh, like it had just been cut off the cob, and the basil with béchamel brought this rich, savory umami flavor. The crust was golden and perfectly flaky. One isn't enough -- especially with a little hot sauce on the side. * Chicken: Packed with deep flavor from the sofrito (onion, red pepper, tomato, garlic). It tasted like something slow-cooked and homemade, wrapped in a perfect pastry shell. * Ham & Cheese: Classic, juicy, and super satisfying. Think gourmet grilled cheese vibes in empanada form. The ambience at Pure is also worth mentioning. Whether you're inside or outside, it's a perfect spot to sit back and enjoy. The main room is cool and comfortable with air-conditioning, there's a secondary indoor area if you want something quieter, and the outdoor seating is spacious and laid-back -- ideal for soaking up the San Diego sun with a cold beer in hand. We came for the beer and ended up getting a full experience. If you're at Pure and see the empanadas available, grab a few -- you won't regret it. read more

They have beer smoothies! I repeat, SMOOTHIES!!! I never knew this was a thing, and now I'm in love and I'm going to look for it wherever I go. The smoothie was not too sweet at all, and you can def taste the fruit! Service was super nice and quick and the empanadas were yummy. I wish they had more food options, or maybe rotating food trucks everyday, that'd be pretty awesome! This place is def where the locals go as it's tucked away in a business plaza and it was so full of people hanging out! There's plenty of parking and it's all free! read more

Ted and Devin on Saturdays...Need I say more? The beers are exceptional and the best thing? It's better than Olive Garden!!! Unfortunately, they don't have a buy one, take one home...Olive Garden's got 'em on that one. read more

Headed to Pure to try their Pantera release - an imperial stout with coffee and coconut. DELICIOUS! Tasting room serves hot empanadas so the lovely smell of spicy tastiness was quite the temptation. We had just eaten so maybe next time. Staff was extremely friendly and clearly knew the regulars who came in by name. It's not a large tasting room but several outdoor tables are available as well. Loved their use of a projector and wood panels to make a huge "tv". read more

While searching for a local stout came across the Chocosarus Rex. Loved the naming convention and knew I had to hit this place up. Been there plenty of times since and have never been disappointed. It's a rather smaller venue - but there are plenty of seats and it's a bit hidden which gives it a special atmosphere. Service has always been top notch, I've had plenty of discussions about Beers on tap - and have found some hidden gems. Most recently being their In for the Night - Brandy Beer. Seriously was one of the best Beers I had this year. There is always plenty of options and I've done a couple of flights - never found a bad Beer. There is generally a food truck available - which you can find out who's there on the website. I've had Tacos and Pretzels and never been disappointed by the food selection. read more

This place has great beer, one of the best in the area. I also enjoyed some of the food trucks they had. However, they just recently changed to only serve empanadas which was very disappointing. I tried a few different ones and they were not good at all. Please bring back food trucks! read more

I love this location of Pure! Always such a great vibe and fantastic service! Parking is easy, options are a plenty, AND a healthcare discount? I was very lucky I used to work a few minutes away from this location. Now that I don't - I still try to stop by as often as I can to get a great beer (or 3) and say hi to some awesomely friendly bartenders!! Pure Project is one of my favorite San Diego breweries and this location holds some great memories! Not to mention, hosts a great food truck! read more

Their smoothie beers are THE BEST and so unique, and they have a different flavor every month. Wish there were more seating options and wish they had food options, there's not really anything else around. Really appreciate their Healthcare Workers discount. Like everyone has mentioned, staff is super friendly and nice! read more

Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. liked how there was two rooms, took the quiet one, both had bathrooms. Food truck wasn't there when I got there so gotta try it again one day. got the flight and was recommended all the new batches. I usually dont like cider but once there was a tree was nice and made a great start to the notes, as the staff was knowledgeable the build up combo was nice too, cloud mountain on the fourth note was memorable. but what was really interesting was the final sonora. the aroma was gently/shockingly good but the contrast to the taste was like woa. i think the order of notes made it better and a good finisher. got a good buzz and good time. read more

Came back on a wed night and it was still pretty busy. Not sure when they added it but they have even more indoor seating now in a small space to the right of the main tasting room. Definitely a nice addition for cooler nights where you don't want to sit outside. We got the super beta ($8.50 for 16oz) and the Chocosaurus ($12.5 for 10oz). The super beta is essentially a hazy IPA. I personally just find theirs pretty middle of the road but still enjoyable. My partner liked the Chocosaurus and it wasn't too sweet. It definitely drinks heavier though and packs a punch at 12%. read more

Great beer, fun atmosphere... way better than Olive Garden! All their beers are great and staff even better!

I was just visiting San Diego and decided to check out Pure Project--easily one of the best decisions of my trip. From the start, Ted and Inden made the experience unforgettable. Ted walked me through the tap list with genuine passion and knowledge, and Inden made the space feel warm and welcoming. Even as an out-of-towner, I felt like I was part of the community for a moment. The beer? Absolutely phenomenal. Each pour was thoughtfully crafted--whether you're into hazy IPAs, crisp lagers, or something experimental, there's something here for every palate. You can truly taste the quality and intention behind every brew. If you're in San Diego, whether you're a local or just passing through like me, Pure Project is a must-visit. Amazing beer, great vibes, and people who clearly love what they do. Cheers to Ted, Inden, and the entire team at Pure Project! read more

No beer connoisseur, but these folks serve some of the best range and individual beers I've ever had at a brewery. Super friendly and helpful service. We came to this Pure Project b/c of the delicious tacos made fresh and served right in front on Saturday afternoons. Perhaps one of the best arrays of tacos I've had in San Diego. Perfectly crisp thick tortilla embedded with deliciously juicy carne asada imbued with flavorful spicing and garnishing. If you come too late (after 2:30) you might get beaten to the punch -- we got there at 1pm and got VIP priority in the taco line. I haven't been to others but this one is in an industrial park, which per my understanding is not normal. Seating setup could be improved, even with the overflow space. read more

I would say that Pure Project tops my list of favorite breweries and while this Miramar location is a little small, the beer is great and the service and ambiance to match. I brought my out of town friend here and he loved the variety of beers and we ended up getting about 12 different one so I won't attempt to name them all. However, my favorites are always the stouts. Another plus is that a food truck came at about 5pm and parked right outside which was perfect for those that want some food along with their beer. read more

Pure Project has spread far and wide in San Diego since their humble opening almost nine years ago, with five locations (so far). And each location has it's own charm. Pure Project Miramar serves up the same outstanding beers as the other locations. I am a big fan, and stop by whenever I am with friends looking for a thirst-quenching delight! Five stars! read more

Small place but they do have an outdoor area. It's located in a random strip of businesses. But that could be a good thing, less foot traffic and random people. The service itself was really good. I decided on the Twilight Hues which is a "smoothie style ale" with mango and peach but my drink wasn't very smoothie like. It was more like a melted paleta. It was good though, not a strong alcohol taste and just a touch of sweetness from the fruits. I just wished it came in a smoothie form. Overall, the whole experience was pretty chill and relaxing. We stayed outside since the group I came with was too big to stay inside. read more

I can't say enough good things about this location!! Teddy and Devin were quite the dynamic duo. From their enthusiastic welcome when we walked in the door, to their impressive knowledge of every single beverage on the menu board, to their in house banter that engulfed the customers. I can not say enough about these two but also this location. Great parking options, dog friendly, rad merch, amazing beers and smoothies and seltzer and wine... is it time for me to come back yet? I live In OB and will take the treck back again soon!! What a great spot! read more

Pure Project never misses -- those murky IPAs hit the spot! Whenever my friends come to San Diego to visit my favorite brewery recommendation is Pure Project. My dog loved the snacks too. Perfect hangout spot. read more

Best in San Diego. Their core beers are solid (Diamond Dust and Pure West are great) but they also have a lot of amazing stuff rotating in and out each week or so. They are a 1% for the Planet company and they follow through with that ethos not just by donating profits but in by mindfully choosing merch, volunteering in the community, or even throwing events with an intent to be as close to zero-waste as possible. It's a small ish space but there is a decent amount of patio seating. I LOVE the staff here--they are all genuinely friendly and kind as well as passionate and knowledgeable about the beer. read more

I really really love Pure project. For Miramar's location being the original location, I wish it was just bigger and not hanging out in the parking lot outside. But overall, this place is always a hit when I come out. Being next to the big tech hub, office spaces. This place is always a hit for HH and a after work spot to hit up and chill with everyone. I usually like to come out here after hitting the driving range. Wish they could bring in some variety food trucks! Always see the German truck, cool but not my vibe. Wish there was a taco truck or some pizza spot swing by. read more

Pure Project is easily our favorite brewery in San Diego! We've been to most of their locations and frequent the Miramar location as it is closest to where we live. It is a much smaller spot in an industrial plaza compared to the other locations but still has a few tables inside and out to hang out. They do serve a few non-alcoholic options including Athletic Brewing and spindrift. Service is always excellent at Pure Project, staff is always enthusiastic and friendly! read more
