AleSmith Brewing Company

Huge space, tons of seating inside, outside, upstairs... All the staff members I interacted with were great, they even were able to switch one of the TVs to a different sports game for me. Their drink options are nicely varied, something for every kind of drinker which I appreciated. Food trucks outside or bring your own.

We came here because the were listed on a Forbe's Top 5 Breweries in San Diego. They have a giant, warehouse of an inside. Seating includes stools with barrels as tables, picnic tables. A couple of the garage doors open, making it feel bigger. There's even an upstairs. It's outside downtown San Diego so there is space. The service is quick. Lots of staff. Our flight was literally finished before I got my credit card out. The patio was a decent size but they had music on the patio and music from the inside. You could hear both and it was somewhat off-putting.Previously I'd had their .394 pale ale and enjoyed it and imagined their IPAs would be better. Normally a flag ship beer like that is good but not their best since hops and barrel aged cost more or storage limits production. In this case, the flagship was the best. Tried the Speedway, Speedway Barrel-Age Tiramisu, Ever Faithful IPA, IPA and didn't really enjoy any of them. It was mostly flavor, not malt or hops strength.

The beer here is more hype than it is actually great. I only had high expectations since this is one of SD's oldest and most iconic breweries. Granted they do have a good food trucks, plenty of space for people to hang out, even play BP, and they have a backstage for concerts and standup comedy shows. So you'll have a good time regardless.On the beer side, I had pints of their Torrey Haze IPA, and THE Cold IPA, which were pretty solid I had tasters of their cranberry ale, coffee kolsch, and coffee imperial coconut porter which were only ok. Although, the cranberry ale is one of their signature beers and I did see a lot of people get it so maybe it's just not for me

Fan-freaking-tastic dark beer selection here! (And well, everything, really!)I love Alesmith's Barrel-Aged Speedway Stout, Rye Barrel-Aged Doppelbock, Holiday Hero (Imperial Stout with Vanilla/Chocolate/Nutmeg), and most especially the Lost Prophet: Island Sojurn (Rye Whiskey Barrel-Aged Imperial Stout w Sri Lankan & Congolese Vanilla, Cacao and Coconut----SWOON!!!)The food truck out front is awesome, and will fix you up a 1/2 chips and 1/2 fries carne asada platter if you ask nicely (the best of both worlds!). Recently Chun P. and I were here to watch the Superbowl. Service was friendly, and a nice chill vibe. Bring your dog or children along if they are well-behaved. Otherwise, have your dog watch your kids at home, LOL.

What don't I love about Alesmith? A fantastic tap selection to hit a win for literally every beer palate. Great IPAs, staples like their Nut Brown, sours, pale ales, and our favorites - the malty speedway stout varieties. Staff is incredibly friendly. Site is huge, lots of parking, dog and kid friendly, and they always have at least one fantastic food truck on site. Cheers!!!

It was my first time visiting here with my friends and at the time, they had an event. We got to try their beers and they were good, and they have food trucks for food. Their team is nice, and we had a good conversation about the brewery, their recommended food, and others. They also have merch available for purchase.I will definitely come back here again next time.

This place was a whole lot of fun. Great environment, quality beers and the option where they also had entertainment. .394 is a go-to everyday beer for me so I was definitely able to have a nice pour here. That being said, I LOVE sours and theirs were definitely niche marketed and not for me. Actually, I was highly disappointed because while they marketed them as specialty they were just too far away from good.

Really big place with an outdoor firepit to hang out near. They dont serve food but they had a great mexican food, food truck outside. Bartenders were very friendly. I just wish they had a better beer selection. Half of their beers are Bourbon Barrel Aged and thats just way too strong like liquor for some of us. Otherwise, a great spot!

Super atmosphere. I like when the happy hour planner in my company chooses this brewery for gatherings. It could potentially sound intimidating as we post-pandemic folks don't know each other in real life and meeting colleagues from other teams can sound daunting task. Every gathering here is a total success and the food truck a great addendum for the food needs. The brewery is so spacious in and out yet feels cozy and welcoming. I have tried several beers, all great and always fun times.

Did a brewery crawl with friends for a birthday celebration and had a really good time at this place. The atmosphere was fun and it was definitely spacious with a second floor and outside seating. There also was a food truck onsite when we got hungry. There also happened to be a mini anime con so it was pretty chill seeing vendors and some peeps in cosplay.
