Latitude 33 Brewing

Hadn’t heard of this place until I went with some friends and it’s a decent brewery in north county.
Upon entering is a pool table; it’s nice if you want to play a game or two but it feels uncomfortable having to walk in front of people playing since there’s no other way around. They should allow people through the side instead.
Ordered a honey hips and I have to say it was a really good beer. A friend got the citrus and it was nice as well, not bitter at all like I was expecting. I had to leave rather quickly due to unfortunate circumstances or I would’ve tried more flavors.
The atmosphere isn’t all that great. It’s best going with a group of friends as the majority of the crowd are people in their 30s or older (at least it was the day I went). There’s music playing but the DJ – if you can even call him that – had terrible music choice.
Nonetheless I’ll be heading back sometime to give some of the other flavors a go.

We came here after spending some family time in Carlsbad. A friend had recently recommended their Blood Orange IPA and since we could claim that this was «on the way home» we figured we’d give it a whirl.
As per usual we tried one of everything — 12 tasters in total. They have a Unilocal check-​in deal for a free taster with purchase, so we were able to take advantage of that, which is always nice. I also liked that they had a couple of guest breweries on tap and available for tastes. (Consequently we had 10 Latitude beers, 1 Border X beer and 1 Reel Brew Co beer.)
The blood orange IPA is probably one of the best IPAs I’ve had in a while. Wonderfully citrusy without being sweet or tart. I also really enjoyed the Honey Hips and the Vanilla Porter. Both had excellent flavor profiles and really hit the spot. You really can’t go wrong with anything they have to offer.
BONUS: They’ve got a pool table and a rotating group of food trucks/​stands.

Great variety of house-​made craft beers. The blood orange IPA is one of the better fruit-​infused IPA’s I’ve tried. They have a few other core beers that are great (honey hips, vanilla porter) but what makes this place truly special is their «power hour» from 6 – 7 every Friday that offers $ 1 core beers and $ 2 specialty pours. The last few times I’ve went they’ve been out of multiple beers, which unfortunately were the ones I came to try. Nail down the stocking, and this place would be a solid 5 stars.

This was our 3^rd stop on our SD brewery tour and I Love their Blood Orange IPA, not too overpowering like a few other Blood Orange’s I’ve had in the past. Goes down really smooth. In terms of the tap room, good to see that they have a pool table, not too many breweries do. Place is a chill spot to grab some beers and a few blocks away from Belching Beaver to make an afternoon of it.

I was really excited to come here because I’m simply in love with the blood orange IPA and honey hips beer. PROS: The blood orange IPA to go in the growler made me so excited! CONS: the guy seemed super rushed and rude to me. I also asked him about the group on deal. he looked at me, then answered my question after I already paid for my tasters and growler without the group on discount. I’ll come back because it’s a small and chill joint in vista and have my favorite beer but I would work on hiring more people or whoever you have behind the bar being more friendly. I love the art of beer tasting at a tasting room and part of that experience is with the staff. Hope this helps:)

Hey guys… Bought a bottle to try down on pacific beach– it was your regular IPA, it was crazy foamy when opened and super disappointing: so much, I threw it out with out drinking it. Maybe to much carbonation?
:(

What a nice little hidden gem! I would have never tried this place out if it wasn’t for the Groupon, so I’m glad I stumbled across it. It’s in an industrial area in between buildings. im not sure what businesses are around there but on the Saturday morning that I went, everything else looked pretty empty. So this little spot is in the corner and it sort of looks like a warehouse upon entering. Fort thing you will see is a pool table. Walk past it and ta-​da! The bar! There’s barstools around the bar and then a few more across the bar on a little ledge, but be aware on busy days you will not find a seat. They have small selection of beers but trust me they’re ALL really good. I tried the blood orange IPA, vanilla porter, the crimson pale ale, breakfast stout on Nitro, citrus sour, honey hips and green tea pilsner. My favorite was the breakfast stout as I am a fan of dark porters/​stouts and it had the highest ABV %. My girlfriend loved the honey one so we ended up getting a growler of it :) I for sure will return to this brewery when I’m in the Vista area.
Oh, almost forgot to mention, there was a good cart outside on the day I went. not sure if they’re there all the time but if they are, you can get a little snack with your beer.

I’ve never been to the actually brewery but I went to a small bar out in lakeside called eastbound and they had latitude 33 blood orange IPA on tap and when I got home I had to looked them up. One of the best fruit IPAs I’ve ever had! I will definitely be visiting the brewery soon!

Love the beers they offer! Great service and music! Keeping it COUNTRY! Vanilla Porter my fav!

Great little brewery tucked away in the business park area. Went there to use a groupon and have been back several times since. Great service every time. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff working there. Plenty of space. Could probably utilize it better with a few tables, but finding a seat has never been a problem. Not a pool player myself, but they do have a pool table there. Only thing I’m bummed on is them not really having an outdoor space, but that’s definitely not going to stop me from going there.
I like the honey hips and the breakfast stout best, but they definitely have some other good beers available. Give it a try. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed.

This is a cute place tucked away with businesses. There is a lot of parking so that is great. The place is smaller but it works. The beertender was very friendly and helpful when choosing our beers. They actually offer half pints so if you like 2, you don’t have to get a small taster or a normal beer, you can split between the 2. I liked that so I went with 2 half beers so I could enjoy more without more alcohol. And if you check in on Unilocal,you get a free taster! They have some seating, not a ton but it’s not a big place so that makes sense. They do have a pool table in a side room so that is a great distraction. It’s free so you just have to wait your turn or jump on it. The only reason for the loss of the star was the floor– it was DISGUSTING! SUPER sticky!!! I mean my shoes literally stuck to the floor and if you stood too long, you had physcially pull your leg up to get your foot unstuck.

Great little Joint in Vista, CA. like many breweries in the area are dog friendly. Little space in an Industrial park the atmosphere has a nice vibe and aroma.
Try the Blood Orange IPA if you like that style as I do is wonderful. For you Porter types also try the Vanilla Porter for the creamy, malty, chocolaty feel and taste. Mmmm.
If I recall, if you check in with Unilocal you get a free taste!

I will NOT be coming back! The place was not busy, maybe 5 people at the bar. We waited at the bar for 15 minutes total, never acknowledged, before just giving up and leaving. A group of 6 people came in about 10 minutes into us sitting there and they were happily greeted and served. We were still sitting there with out even a hello or smile. Hell, at that point flipping us off would have been exceptional service because that would have meant that we were at least acknowledged in some way. Walked out never to return!

What can I say, it’s awesome craft beer and we’ve been here several times. I like to mix the breakfast stout and vanilla porter, yum! Get here and enjoy some great craft beer!

Small tasting area with not a ton of seating but hey who cares? I’m drinking beer!!! Got there in time for their Friday night 6pm to 7pm 1 dollar pours (core beers only) and damn was it good.
The Vanilla Porter was bomb. Went down smooth with a hint of vanilla. The best though was when happy hour ended and I tried the BLOOD ORANGE IPA! Holy mother of all beers. It’s my new favorite beer… I put it up there with Ballast Point Grapefruit Sculpin… an award winner. Left with a growler of that one. If you haven’t hit Latitude 33 do it. You won’t be disappointed.

Great brewery, I would recommend coming in just for their amazing selection of beers. The vanilla porter and IPA was great, as was the Honey Hips.
Service was a tan slow, but there were a lot of folks in there that night and only one person behind the bar. But no one should ever be in a hurry while touring breweries!
It is dog friendly, and there is a pool table. I have heard about events on Friday nights, but I haven’t experienced that yet.

What an amazing experience we had here today! Adam is amazing and so knowledgeable in what he does! It was great to see how passionate he is about his craft and he is really good at it too! The Blood Orange IPA is TO DIE FOR! My new favorite beer for sure! Definitely worth the 30 min drive to get here! Thanks for the great time!

Love, love, love Latitude 33!
The blood orange ipa is the bee’s knees!!!
Great dude behind the bar and awesome customer service! I’m coming back!

Friendly people.
Most of their beers are somewhat run of the mill good for a incredibly competitive San Diego, but they have a couple gems.
Their vanilla porter on nitro is really good, as well as their Belgian style ales.

Latitude! What what!!! I was impressed right when I walked in. They were packed, as they should have been.
On the day of my visit, I went with my gf and her father to celebrate his birthday. We’d already been to a bunch of stops that day and this place had one of the best selections. The guy working there recommended we try the vanilla porter and the breakfast stout mixed together. This was an awesome idea. I highly recommend it. Also try the honey hips and the 33 IPA
The place is pretty spacious and they have a pool table, so feel free to spread out.
This is one of the better breweries in the area. Check it out.

First thing I see when i approached this establishment was a pool table in the foyer. Umm I love this place already. Staff was super friendly and helped me try out a couple tasty beers, but the one that stuck out to me the most and was my favorite was the strong blonde. I eventually purchased a growler of this liquid gold and promptly had to retire to my dojo to continue enjoying it as i believe it is 7.2%. So you know its good. This place is really tucked away but if you have a couple friends that like to shoot pool and drink beers then you might have to check this place out. Do it!

It’s just so inland to get to! It’s in a industrial business place area so u couldn’t find it unless you knew about it or either someone told u about where it is.
We came in on a Friday night, it was more quieter than I thought it would be.
Beer is good.
Service is nice.
Mostly came here for the experience with friends, it’s ok. Wouldn’t mind coming here again to chill out and have a few drink with friends.

This is a great little place tucked away in the business park of the Palomar Airport area between Vista and Carlsbad. They have great deals on their drinks and growler refills for only a small fee.
The parking lot is a little smaller, but it totally makes up in the staff! The people here behind the bar are super friendly and brings smiles to my face! I love the beer here and will totally be coming back to drink it up!

We came to Latitude 33 yesterday as part of a Unilocal «brewventure». Unlike normal Unilocal events, we had to pay for our beer and food but it was at a discount! $ 12 for two pints and a growler and any Mexico City Cuisine food for only $ 5. What a steal!
My wife and I have lived in Carlsbad for nearly eight years and we literally live like around the corner from Latitude 33… yet HAVE NEVER BEEN HERE. Ugh. Well now that we know it’s here we’ll be back again for some Carolina Honey Hips… that’s fo sho!

Checkin before you order: you get 1 free taster with any purchase.
This is one of my favorite breweries —
.
Although, I don’t know why I don’t go often. Maybe because I want to preserve my liver?
My favorite beer was their Vanilla Porter. But now that they offer a Breakfast Stout and on Nitro, the porter’s taken a back seat. Plus the Breakfast Stout has an ABV of 8.5% and the Vanilla Porter is at 6.5% ABV so you get more bang for your buck so to speak.
The Vanilla Porter was light on taste but that isn’t to suggest it was bad. It was more of a generic porter but without the bitterness of other porters.
If you like coffee, you’ve love the Nitro Breakfast Stout. Creamy goodness in a pint.
Love that they have a variety of beer on tap from IPAs, Porters, Stouts, to Witbiers so that there’s something for everyone to enjoy.
Lots of room to socialize, there’s even a pool table. But you have to keep your beer inside. And plenty of space to park.
Clean bathrooms with separate facilities for men and women. No need to worry about whether the seat is up or if there’s a little something extra waiting for you.
Staff is friendly and helpful and quick with refills.
Save $ 5 by refilling your growler on Wednesdays with $ 10 refills vs $ 15.

Latitude 33 — you can’t get lost here! The company utilizes the latitude and longitude to map is geographic location (and have named thier brewery Latitude 33) — which means you should be able to locate it fairly easy via GPS as long as if you don’t have too much beer beforehand!
Latitude 33 is one of many Vista breweries we have visited and on an opening weekend, it was our first! It was also our introduction to one of our favorite food trucks, «Red Oven Pizza», food trucks roll in and out of these brewery locations on weeknights and weekends. I find it helpful to follow the food trucks on,
and then pick out a food and beer we want to have for the day!
My favorite beers from Latitude 33 include the Honey Hips Blonde and the Vanilla Porter. I think they have the coolest tasters for all and more unique merchandise items for the ladies.
