Dog Friendly for those with pups, felt a little like dog beach, perhaps more dogs than people?

Green Flash was one of my first foray's into local craft beer, about a decade ago. Who knew those pioneers would bring you a solid distribution model and a massive tasting room. One of the most accessible breweries across all of San Diego.

They keep things traditional over the past few years with food trucks and benches outside. Nothing wrong with a taco guys, but food trucks tend to put as much love into their food as these guys do into their beer, so it's a better fit.

With plenty of bar space they have enough staff to pour for the large crowds. Despite it's size it's almost always packed. Probably because of the 20 beers they have on tap on the reg. What I like about the breweries further south is they aren't just some HS reunion. People don't' get as sloppy here too because their beer is fairly tempered on the ABV. It's pretty centralized in the county so it's not too far for people to come north, south, east, or west for. Great in the summer with that hill top-y sunset view. When leaving watch your downhill speed on Mira Mesa as I catch myself doing 60+ easily.

They have a great variety of beers from reds, imperials, ipa's, stouts, etc. My favorite style is a high IBU, medium malty, medium ABV IPA which they seem to not do as well as others in SD. They are much more known for their lighter offerings.

With a rapidly changing selection I suggest trying tasters of them then get 1-2 of the top choice. I don't recommend trying full beers of each, party bus ride or not, it's a bad idea.
