The Brew House is in a middle of the road, vaguely mission-style building on a side street in La Jolla. A covered outdoor area runs in front of the space. Inside, windows run across the short front wall, a long wooden bar runs along the left side and an elevated dining section runs along to the right.

The bar is in an L-shape with seating on two sides and is lined with tall dark wooden chairs. A row of flat screens runs side by side on the similarly-shaped bar back. A few tables complete the bar section. The raised dining section has pine booths with padded seats and a row of tall tables with the same chairs as at the bar.

The white ceiling has exposed joists and heating ducts and rotating fans. A big mounted sword fish (or marlin) and several kayaks decorate the walls. The floor is of worn wood.

Seven craft beers were on tap on our visit, representing a wide range of styles, mostly not local.

We didn’t eat anything, so can’t comment on the food.

I stopped by the La Jolla Brewing Company recently and had a wonderful time. I had the Trio of Grilled Sausage with a Pale Ale. Also on tap were a Hefeweizen and a Double IPA. The brew master had been on vacation so there was a limited tap selection. That’s ok because what they had was excellent. Warning, if you intend to have a pint of the Double IPA bring a designated driver! The food I had was good and the atmosphere in the place was wonderful. It’s a watering hole for several locals that I enjoyed talking to. Everyone was very friendly. The service was first-rate. There’s a small parking lot in front of the brewery, which sits back off the street. I found street parking a few blocks away and walked to the brewery. They don’t get many bad weather days in Southern California so the walk shouldn’t be an issue. Definitely worth a trip back here the next time I’m in the area.

This person needs 3 or more reviews on the site for their scores to start counting.

Nice selection of ales on tap, including a couple of Belgian trappists. The brews available didn't map to what they advertised on their website, but this is probably constantly chaning. For example they no longer make their own IPA's but offer both Green Flash and Stone on tap. The homemade pizza was good, the staff was friendly, parking was somewhat of an issue as is all parking in downtown La Jolla. I'd visit again.
