Bitter Brothers Brewing

During the Modern Times Festival of Funk, I had the pleasure of briefly meeting some of the people who work for this brewery, got their card, and ended up going here a week after and I must say… their beer is GREAT! Wow, right when coming in, the space is really nice and clean too. My friend and I both got 4 tasters that were $ 2 each and it’s really cool that their beers are literally named after family-​brother-​like names, such as «Sibling Rivalry», «Little Brother», «Black Sheep», «Extra Special Little Brother», «Brotherly Love», just to name a few. I gotta bring my little brother here. It’ll be a great bonding experience, haha. My friend and I seriously loved every single beer we tried and all of their IPAs are so well done and I love my IPAs. I would say that this is one of the better upcoming San Diego breweries for sure. It’s located off Morena Blvd South in a more secluded area which is nice because there are a lot of parking opportunities — they have a small lot and there is a LOT of side street parking, so you don’t have to worry at all.
Will definitely be back and this place is also dog friendly! Beer + dogs? Can I get an amen?

New brewery on Morena Blvd. I stopped in while looking at some real estate in the area. I had a ESB and a Dunkle. Both were very tasty. Service was attentive and friendly.

Taste: 5

Black sheep on nitro is dangerously good, and is probably the best porter I’ve ever had. My boyfriend tried everything they had. He seconds me on the black sheep and he also liked the session IPA. We got to meet one of the bitter brothers and he was very nice and welcoming, just like the rest of the staff.

Love, love, love this place! Great vibe and amazing beers. The perfect place to relax and unwind after a long day at work. Their dunkelweiss (Brotherly Love) is one of my absolute favorites and they have a couple really nice nitro beers on tap. Grab an aluminum growler (or 3) and you won’t be disappointed!

Environment was awesome with the puppy and the 90’s music. Beer was fantastic tried 5 different beers! The people that work there are super cool and chill as well. Really it has everything that I need to count as a «favorite spot»

Travis, the good looking one, took great care of us. The variety of beers was great for a place that was just opened recently. The looks are fabulous, modern, clean and comfy.
I loved the Berliner Weisse… Although the pomegranate was better than the ginger. The Black Sheep on nitro rocked too.

Great location. Great atmosphere. Great people. It’s a new brewery in the area and send to have a lot of potential. Excited to see what’s to brew.

We hit this place up on their opening day and we were quite impressed. The beer is fabulous and the environment they’ve established is trendy and fun. I love that the owners are enthusiastic and excited to be here. That’s the kind of person I enjoy supporting. And if it means I have to buy a beer or two from them then I’ll be ok with that too.

Glad to see more brewery spots popping up in the Bay Ho area.
Came here this past weekend looking to get a little beer appetizer before our restaurant week adventure. The space is beautiful and they were hosting a food truck out back. They’re pet friendly, as we noticed from some very sleepy pups lounging by the bar, and seem to have a solid selection of brews on tap. The session IPA stood out as the most well balanced, while some of the other brews seemed like they may still have been in R&D. Overall glad to see them in the neighborhood and can’t way to taste what they’ll be pourin’ in the future.

New brewery in Bay Ho area. Nice variety of beers, great ambience, fun people and excellent service. I have not visited a single brewery in San Diego that offers Dunkelweizen but Bitter Brothers do and it is REALLY GOOD!
We will be back!

Came here last night. Great atmosphere. We had the IPA and the two sours (both great). Kid and pet friendly with a food truck in the back. We had two children with us (11years old) and they had card games to keep them occupied. We were also told you could bring in your own food if you choose. Check it out!

Session ipa is on point! Black Sheep on Nitro on point! Can’t wait for Northwestern IPA and the ESB! Owners are really great people. Two sour beers are now on tap and are very good. Cant wait to see what comes next.
kid friendly until 8pm.

Pomegranate mommys little helper beer was very good. They just opened about a week and a half ago. Nice to have a neighborhood brewery right around the corner. 2.00 tasters 5.00 beers.

Awesome local brewery with a genuine atmosphere. It’s obvious that the owners love what they’re doing and it shows through their beers. Definitely worth checking out and I personally look forward to becoming a frequent visitor here :)

Strong opening. The Hefeweizen was my favorite. I’ve been to 95% of all the breweries in San Diego and this beer is solid. The little brother is a grapefruit ipa and very good. So is the prodigal son. Do yourself a favor and check out this brewery.

They had one palatable beer — the session pale/​IPA. All others showed significant flaws which is confusing considering they hired a pro brewer. They served some cold brew coffee that was easily the worst cold brew coffee I’ve ever had. The fact that they thought it was a good idea to serve this acrid mess is not encouraging. It tasted like they used this same terrible coffee in their porter as it shared the same acrid note. I have been waiting for ages for this place to open and am incredibly bummed. Will give them another try in 6 months or so, but as it stands I can’t fathom what they’re doing. It’s one thing to serve underwhelming beers given that hop contracts are probably not favorable when newly opened, but to serve blatantly flawed beer with a «pro» brewer doing the brewing is confusing at best. I’d expect this sort of significantly flawed beer from casual home brewers. I’m sure they’ll get plenty of business from the Harley shop down the road and can dump this flawed beer on them.

Went to their soft opening tonight. Some really good brews. Right now they have six beers (well five, but one is both on a regular tap and on nitro). However, they will be increasing their selection to 10 or so in the following months.
Chill industrial atmosphere that is pet friendly and kid friendly until 8pm.
My wife says their Black Sheep Nitro Porter is the best porter she’s ever had. Their hefe is fantastic as well, and we found all their brews to be quite good.
Tasters run $ 1.50 each, while full pours are $ 4.
Do yourself a favor and check this place out.
