Fun place to visit, easy to find on Prospect Ave just before Cottonwood. Excellent brew supplied by friendly and knowledgeable staff.

It's true that they don't serve food, but I went there to try some great microbrews. The staff were great and helped me pick some great beers. One of our party didn't want to drink beer so the bartender made here something. It was a great experience and will be sure to come back.

Good beer. Really liked the IPA and the Pale Ale. The others were just average. No food to speak of, serving popcorn would be nice. Unless you live in Santee, you have to ask is it worth the trip to visit a micro brewery? While I am glad that I made the trip from North County, this was probably a one and done trip.

Manzanita consistently brews good beer. The Nut Brown, Gillespie Brown, and the Riverwalk Brown are the standouts. Their new tasting room is pleasant and the employees are welcoming and efficient. The only drawback is that there is no food. So, eat something before you head to this brewery. And don't forget to visit the other breweries in Santee before you head out.

Okay, I'm sure some people love Santee. But still.

Anyhow, Manzanita Brewing is another homegrown San Diego-area nano-brewer. Garry Pitman and Jeff Trevaskis started out in 2010, and apparently never looked back.

We're looking forward to our next expedition to East County -- heck, to east of I-5- so we can check out their new, bigger digs.

Our favourite is the IPA, but then we're hopeless hopheads. The Riverwalk Blonde and Pale are quite drinkable as well. Get thee out there!
