"Port Brewing Company is known for making quality, classic California craft beers, but the The Lost Abbey is all about paying homage to traditional Belgian brews — all the way down to the medieval monks who used to make them. This brewery is steeped in church themes, having named one of its locations The Confessional. It’s most popular for its sour Duck Duck Gooze, Framboise de Amorosa, and Deliverance (a blend of brandy and one of their stout brews)."

"I love Lost Abbey’s theme and their motto “For sinners and saints alike” stuck with me. 😀 The beers are very interesting but intense, highly alcoholic and not for the faint of heart. My favorite and widely available beer from Lost Abbey is Lost and Found. There you have it – 20 of my favorite and THE best restaurants and breweries in San Diego!"

"2007 San Elijo Ave., Cardiff 92007 Lost Abbey’s Cardiff tasting room, cheekily named The Confessional, serves beers from its namesake, as well as from Port Brewing and The Hop Concept. One fan raved about the fact that visitors can grab food from the pizza place next door or from Seaside Market for the perfect beer accompaniments."

"This outpost location of Escondido’s Stone Brewing Company is one of the best breweries in Downtown San Diego, and it has many of the same signature brews, special releases, and small-batch beers on its lineup of 16 taps as its parent brewery. There are also farm-fresh snacks in the bistro, and if you fall in love with a specific brew, bottles are available for takeaway. (Tip: There’s another downtown location in Little Italy on Kettner Blvd.)"

"Craft beer lovers will recognize Stone Brewing since their brews are distributed not only around the country, but around the world. Hailing from San Diego, Stone Brewing has been making beer for over 10 years and is the largest brewery in Southern California. Their Arrogant Bastard Ale became so popular, they created a separate brewing company for it."

"A family-run vegan restaurant in San Diego, The Purple Mint Vegan Bistro serves up Vietnamese and Pan-Asian dishes that are flavorful, delicious, and filling. Plus, the service is friendly and welcoming. Their Mission Valley location isn’t anything to write home about, located in an unsuspecting shopping strip, but the food more than makes up for the ambiance."

"The Purple Mint Vegan Bistro prepares vegetarian Asian meals, smoothies, and iced teas. Authentic Asian dishes with modern twits dominate the menu. There are colorful entrees to choose from."
