Great Good Good Great Great
A real pub with excellent beers Of course, not to have the three or four IPA's on tap removes Brownie points. Especially when the American IPA I had was flowing with citreous nose of those delightful hops and they had just made what they said was an Imperial or was it that better named double IPA? - BUT - not yet ready!! OK the Chili bowel made up for the lack of additional IPA's . I lie.

The brothers Chapman started this place with too many partners. By judicial use of buy outs, hit men and less desirable other methods - (I invented some of this as I lost my notes - must have been drinking) they have the now a delightfully calm place to hang out and put the world to rights. I was there for early lunch and I suspect that it gets hopping in the evenings. It's a meet people place and if I were on the island would look no futher. Having lost my notes, all I can say - charming server at the bar, met a regular who sent me to another brewery and lo and behold, later he rolled in. I will update when I find those blessed notes.

This is a nice pub. I had the Islander IPA and 4 Brothers Pale Ale. My wife had a Golden because the hefeweizen was OUT. All the beers were very good, but the 4 Brothers was outstanding. It was unfiltered, hoppy and everything I expect from a West Coast American Pale. I may have been extra thirsty, but the Islander IPA was really easy-drinking with a great hop aroma. Given that it's over 7% ABV, I can see why there's a three pint limit.

The food was good, but not as good as the beer. The tuna melt was made with tuna salad, which was odd, but still tasty. The cole slaw (okay, I'm a cole slaw fanatic) could have marinated longer, but it was still okay.

If you go with a wine drinker, try by all means to get them to have a beer instead. The house wine is called Camelot, and it kinda makes you wonder what part the camel played in its production.

Nice short ferry ride from San Diego mainland. Prices were not that bad considering the cost to live on this little "island". Must stop! Also check out the other bars on main street.

The Idiot IPA is awesome, right up there with some of Stone's hopped up brews. The atmosphere is great with open air, under roof dining and fireplace blazing on cool nights. As for the three pint limit - you'll thank them as you wave to the motorcycle (BMW) police at the bridge.

Stopped in to check this place out and had an IPA and a Pale Ale. I thought the service was good and the beers were very good. I have been in over 100 brewpubs in my travels and have never seen the 3 beer limit before but I guess I can see their point. I did notice a food runner eating fries off of customer's plates before they went out to the tables. I know this sort of thing happens in restaurants but I've never seen it so obvious in a kitchen that is exposed and right behind the bar. I'll stop in again for good beers but probably won't order something off the menu. I hope they don't stick their fingers in the beers...

Three pint limit is still in effect. Strange rule for a brewpub. As a result I limited myself to 2 pints so as not to be "cutoff". Had the "hefe" and the brown. The hefe was a little odd and the hoppiest hefe I have experienced. Not what I was looking for but not terrible either. The brown on the other hand was quite decent and true to form. The place itself is very interesting and would be a good drinking atmosphere if one was allowed to do so. Maybe it's me but stopping at 3 pints is like kissing your sister and not necessarily a good looking sister.

They were out of the IPA which I was told was their best beer. I tried the Pale and it was just OK. Did small samples of the Hefe and Red, both OK. I really enjoyed the Porter. Food was good. Worth a stop if you are in the area. Easy to find.

Well worth seeking out when in San Diego especially now that travel from the city to Coronado on the Bay Bridge is free. Excellent beers and selection. My favorite was the IPA. Kind of a strange house rule though that they will only serve each person the equivalent of 3 pints or 3 glasses of wine. They also do not offer a sampler set but instead charge 1.50 for each 4 ounce glass and of course these count toward the 3 pint total. Do not go there expecting to get drunk. Go for lunch or dinner, not happy hour.

I have visited this brewery several times and have never walked away disappointed. A place you definitely need to go if in the San Diego area. The beers are excellent. My favorite is the Islandwiezen. The food is always good. Don't miss out on visiting this brewery.

Pint glasses are not well made, logo is put on with a transfer tatoo. Only thing going for them is location, within walking distance of harbor.
