Iām at Arcana Brewing Company, and I have to say, this is the best place beer enthusiasts could ever ask for. Not only are the beers here absolutely wonderful, but the service provided by the beertender was exceptional. The decoration, featuring vintage mugs and antique furniture, left me in awe. The beer is sensational, completely artisanal. The atmosphere is cozy, with the perfect volume for conversations. In short, everything is perfect.
This brewery was very impressive. The atmosphere is super comfortable. Clean bathrooms, excellent visuals, entertainment games, cool peeps, top service, a punking playlist, and great selection of beer. My favorite from the flight was the Burgundy oaky and fruity tartness š¤¤. They also have a special mug program š» and dog friendly š¶. Outside food is okay š.
definitely make the stop here if you are around. the guys behind the counter are very knowledgeable and good friends with other owners and brewers. they asked what we liked and pointed us in the direction of other breweries to try. that was a great touch and we were there early right when they opened. they gave a good word on the "west coaster" magazine, you should read that if you're reading this!!! their headbasher IPA is the go to for me
Very comfortable brewery in North County. Good selection of beer. I had the pale ale and the West Coast IPA. Both were very drinkable. Tucked in a commercial development with good parking. I will return.
I love the steampunk vibe of the place, and Dan (and staff) make coming in for a beer feel like hanging with friends. Their mug club is unique, and we've been members for 2 years. Their braggots are phenomenal. It's a hidden gem in Carlsbad :)
