Coronado Brewing Company

Coronado Brewing Company in San Diego’s Coronado area serves award-winning West Coast-style beers in a spacious brewpub with a laid-back coastal vibe and great food

After renting bikes at the Hilton San Diego Bayfront and taking the ferry from the Convention Center to Coronado, we set off on a stunning 12-mile ride along the Bayshore Bikeway. With sweeping waterfront views and a cool coastal breeze, the route was the perfect balance of invigorating and scenic—an effortless way to experience the charm of Coronado on two wheels.

After our ride, the only thing on my mind was a well-earned lunch and a beer. We parked our bikes and made our way into Coronado Brewing Company.

Happy to rest, I eagerly browsed the menu. A hazy, hop-forward DREAMLAND (8.1% ABV – Hazy Double IPA) caught my eye. It was bold, dank, and exactly what I was craving.

For the table, we shared the BREWHOUSE PRETZEL (Giant Bavarian pretzel brushed with garlic butter and sea salt. With jalapeño beer cheese & house mustard). The pretzel was warm, soft, and perfectly salted, while the accompaniments added just the right amount of flavor.

For my main, I opted for the classic FISH & CHIPS (Beer-battered Alaskan cod over garlic fries with lemon, cocktail & tartar sauce). Each bite was perfection, satisfying in a way I hadn’t even realized I needed.

After lunch, we walked and then rode our bikes back to the ferry. As the afternoon sun cast a beautiful glow over the water, I tucked my new Coronado Brewing sticker into my bag. I truly felt a deep sense of gratitude for the day’s adventures.

San Diego’s coastal lifestyle had revealed its effortless luxury in the best way for me: bikes, beer and friends.
