Thorn Brewing North Park

First time here. Decided to join family to play trivia. It was funny we had a chance for a come back and win but my hubby changed the answer last minute!!! lol Had a great time.

Knocked out another San Diego brewery, this time it is Thorn Brewing Company! This brewery has several locations in the San Diego area but this location is what we focused on. For this brewery Steve and I tried one of their beers and we enjoyed it fairly well. The beer that we had was the Endless Cycle IPA from a beer series of theirs called the Essential IPA Series. This particular IPA was enjoyable and refreshing to be sure. Similar to other IPA'S we have had of many breweries past but nothing to complain about in the slightest. Flavor highlights to expect with this is hoppiness and bitterness as well as a resinous presence to provide a more organic spin to this particular beer experience that we had with this particular beer.

What a great little brewery...that's not so little! LOL! I have driven by many times and just thought they had that small storefront. I've even gotten noodles from the truck in front, and still thought it was small. But then colleagues invited me out and I couldn't believe how big the back is! They are also dog friendly which I'll have to bring Cako to.I'm not a big beer drinker but they had some hard seltzers which worked since I'd had vodka earlier. The staff is great! They close at 9 but allowed us to stay until we were finished while they cleaned. Definitely worth checking out. The corner of 32nd and Thorn has become a small little haven!

Stopped in this weekend for their Girl Scout cookie pairing. The Girl Scout cookies were so perfectly paired with their beers. They really complimented each other and it was a fun little weekend activity! I'm a big fan of Thorn St Brewery. I've more frequently visited the Mission Hills location but love this little OG one too. There's space inside for about 8ish groups with tables and some bar seats. On a usually nice San Diego day, they also have a large area to sit outside. Grand Ole next door is also bomb so it's great to park beer with some bbq. If not, they also often have food trucks. They had a vegan Asian one there and the people next to us were raving about the fries.

I recently visited this brewery for trivia night, and it was a fantastic experience. The diverse beer selection was impressive, and I particularly enjoyed the Fornication, a delightful Belgian strong golden ale. The bartenders were friendly, providing clear instructions for trivia and guiding us on ordering from the food truck outside. Overall, a great spot for a fun night playing trivia. I think the spot would be more laid back on a non trivia night, but they have other events, I saw such as bingo nights.

Great place to watch sports. Great beer, friendly staff and atmosphere. They are so nice to allow outside food in but have amazing food trucks that rotate days in evenings. Great neighborhood spot!

Thorn St is one of my favorite breweries! Everything about it is so perfect. Their beers are amazing, I love the branding plus the space is really big! They host a ton of fun events and typically always have a food truck outside. We attended their trivia night on Wednesday and the place got popping. For a table I would recommend getting their early (trivia started at 7!) The place is dog friendly too so it adds to the charm!

Excellent Brewery! Great beers (my favorite was the hazy IPA). Friendly and efficient service. Ample outdoor seating. Dog friendly.They have food trucks outside the brewery (we had lumpia sliders from the Skrtch Kitchen food truck - yum). Great way to enjoy great beer. So much fun!

With all the breweries in san diego it's hard to stay competitive and in the game. This one seems to not care to be in the game. Large space in the back around the bar and small neighborhood feel, but hard to find a good tasting beer and behind the bar was an reasonably rude beertender.

Recommend!Lovely beer, especially their IPA. Large back part to building which is good for groups. Friendly staff.
