Was Ellen Treuer at Lightning Brewery a mag?
We enjoy every visit! Why someone would post that lightening brewery is not worthy of going out your way is beyond me! Small, cozy, home town feel with welcoming, attentive service. My family, yes I said family, feels he should stick to hooters. View all feedback.

Fantastic selection of beers with plenty of options! Be sure to try the Red Arc with a hint of jalapeño.

Cool, cool, cool! I love this place. Beers are awesome and the people pouring are too! I love coming here and am glad summer is coming and I'll have some more free time to visit!

I was pleasantly surprised with their beers. They as most micros do have a lot of IPA's, which are not my beer, but they also had multiple stout, and porter choices that were simply delicious!

The owner and brewer, Jim, is outstanding. The customer service is fantastic, and the beer is excellent. It's definitely worth a stop on a San Diego beer tour.

This is one of my favorite breweries in town. My top choice is the Electrostatic Ale, but everything they serve is great. Jim, the owner, is fantastic too!
