Hillcrest Brewing Company

Great place. Taplists has some solid local offerings. When it comes to their brews, the only standout when I was there was the wee heavy, Banana Hammock. Pizzas are solid. Help was great.

 

 

Good sized tasting room alongside farmers market. Hexagonal-ish bar in center of tap room seats 20 plus with tables and outdoor covered patio seating. Dozen beers on tap, but no longer does growler fills.

 

Fantastic service. Had a number of their own brews on tap as well as other local selections. Quality of beer and the atmosphere made for a great venue. Sitting outside for happy hour watching the day go by was a great treat while trying the 30ish styles available. Highly recommend if you're in or near San Diego!

Good people, good service and great food.
Great selection of guest beers.
Unfortunately HBCo. brews are sub par.

 

I had heard absolutely nothing about this small brewery until about a half hour before visiting. This is a quality place that is flying under the radar. Each beer tasted was distinctive and made with quality. There is a saturation and rich flavor profile to each offering and while nothing is over the top everything is very good. The place has a nice vibe, good service and serves a very legitimate pizza!
