Stone Brewing's bistro blends a vibrant American menu with a chic, California-modern setting, featuring an inviting garden and cozy indoor firepit.
"Visiting Stone Brewing’s headquarters in Escondido feels a bit like going to Jurassic Park. The dining room is absolutely massive, and involves lakes, streams, and the suspicion that a velociraptor is lurking somewhere around a corner. Even if you’re getting beers to-go, you’ll still be happy you came - they’ve got a massive selection of Stone’s classics (like the Ruination DIPA and the salty, citrus-y Buenaveza lager) and some experimental drafts made on-site. While you’re in Escondido, you’ll also want to explore , a massive conservation area with a ton of great hiking trails - our favorites are the Boulder Loop Trail and the We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

Both are 2.5 miles, and have great views of Escondido, along with ponds and the original log cabins from the property." - brett keating

"Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens Famous for bringing the world the likes of Arrogant Bastard Ale, Stone Brewing is nothing if not cheeky. This is, after all, the first American craft brewer bold enough to open an outpost in Germany , a country steeped in beer-making tradition. But Stone’s audacity is hardly unfounded, as you’ll discover when you visit the company’s headquarters in Escondido—ideally, for a private tour and tasting. If you’re not already a fan of San Diego ’s particularly hoppy style of IPAs, there will be at least one beer on tap that makes you a convert. But first, you’ll walk through the brew house—past mash kettles and whirlpools and fermenters—to learn all kinds of fun facts, whether it’s the surprise source of the chocolaty notes in Stone’s porters and stouts (mega-roasted malted barley) or what the upcycling options are for spent grains (cow feed and dog bones). Pro tip: After your tour, bypass the lovely indoor restaurant for the even lovelier outdoor gardens—all bamboo and koi ponds and hummingbirds. Sit back in an Adirondack chair with a beer (try one of the extra-innovative brews on offer only here) and warm pretzels with Stone Ripper Pale Ale beer cheese sauce."
