Surprisingly good food, pretty decent beers on par with many San Diego breweries, but the location is incredible. Great views of the bay and right off the Bayshore bikeway it's the perfect stop on your journey.

The Coconut Hazy IPA on its own makes this brewery worth a visit. In all my years of visiting craft breweries I have never encountered anything quite like it. The burger is great as well.
