BNS Brewing & Distilling Co.

Trendy looking brewery on the edge of an industrial park. Long bar to the right of the entry seats about 20, with a few tables opposite the bar and a small patio in front. 14 well assorted beers on tap, I had the Gin BA Doppelbock which was excellent, and the Go Fund Me, also very nice. (Looking forward to cracking open there growlers). Friendly knowledgeable bartender. Great place to chill with a few good beers.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I have been here about 5 times. I really like the wild west theme and the look of the place. The cut off glasses are cool too. The beer is one of the best in East County San Diego. Granted, there are only a few out here anyway, but they are probably my number two in the East County after Alpine. Service is really, really slow for the most part, so if you are in a hurry to fill up a growler and leave, you might be out of luck. They also keep asking if you brought back your lid from the last growler. I don't keep those and they would be kind of dirty and wear out pretty quickly anyway. They have no food but they do have food trucks that stop by. For a relatively new brewery, they are pretty pricey. It's a fun atmosphere and pretty good brew, though, so I would definitely check it out.

 

 

Large finished bar inside with abundant counter space and tables. Nice garden outside with shaded tables, misters, and a play area for kids.
Cool western decorations throughout. Look for the SEAL Tridents and spent casings laid in the bar and counter areas.
Five beers with tasters, full pours, and growlers available.
