The neighborhood itself
8 verified places · 6 eat & drink and 2 things-to-do listsCome to Miramar for things made behind warehouse doors: beer, spirits, coffee, and a grocery run worth planning space for. Start early at Jaunt Coffee Roasters, shop for pulses, flours, rice, and spices at Miramar Cash & Carry, then choose one tasting-room cluster.
AleSmith has the two-story room and beer garden; Cutwater puts the still house, bar, and kitchen together; White Labs is the yeast lab with a bar. Stops sit a few minutes apart by car, so this is not a walking crawl. Bring a designated driver—and maybe leave some room in the trunk.
