New Motion Beverages

New Motion Beverage is a total gem. From the moment you walk in, the vibe is welcoming, modern, and relaxed—perfect for hanging out with friends or just enjoying a drink solo. Their craft beverages are seriously next-level. Everything I tried was crisp, refreshing, and bursting with flavor—clearly made with care and creativity. The staff? Absolute rockstars. Friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they’re serving. They’ll walk you through the menu, make spot-on recommendations, and treat you like a regular even on your first visit. What really sets this place apart is the attention to detail—not just in the drinks but in the whole experience. The space is clean, stylish, and has a great energy that makes you want to stay awhile. Whether you’re a local or just passing through Mira Mar, do yourself a favor and check out New Motion Beverage. It’s refreshing (literally and figuratively) to find a place this good. I’ll definitely be back!

What an awesome place! Super spacious nice decor place with food, boba, bakery venders together. Welcoming everyone including non drinkers, kids, doggies! Ao happy to find this place. Innitinally googled boba place and reached here! the bizbaz boba was so cute! Will come back with more friends

Great selection of hard tea seltzers - I am not a big beer fan so it is nice to have an option beyond ciders at a brewery. The hard seltzers have a perfect hint of flavor, really easy to drink. If you like coconut the Coconut Cove flavor is amazing. They have some really fun seasonal and limited flavors too, I had a limited Strawberry Jalapeno hard seltzer and it was fantastic! They have a nice outdoor patio and seating indoors too - the only reason I give 4 stars instead of 5 is it gets really warm inside during the hot days - could use more fans or airflow, but other than that a really fun place to visit and have a drink.

This is my favorite spot in San Diego! The atmosphere is amazing, the staff go above and beyond, and the owners are always around working hard to make sure everyone is enjoying their experience and drinks. They have some of the best and most unique drinks in town. Plus, they support other local businesses and their community with events and collaboration. If you're looking for a great place to get drinks and relax this is the place to be!

Seriously unreal to be drinking hard tea in this beautiful garden. I love what they’ve done to the space. Drinks are phenomenal along with wonderful staff.

Amazing selection of hard cider, hard sparkling tea, and hard kombucha. They also serve awesome beers with their partner beer label (Embolden Beer Co.) Plenty of outdoor seating and a food truck in the parking lot to satisfy all of your cravings. This is a great new spot to grab a drink (or several!). I can't wait to go back for more!

The GF loves this place I'd say it's kind of an improvement from the last brewery that was here (32nd North) but not much, just me personally. They've added outdoor seating and a consistent food truck which is definitely a bonus from my side. They also basically have 2 breweries in 1. With beer and a sparkling beverage section, which the GF likes. The beer profiles are all kind of middle of the road for me, fairly safe, nothing overly exciting. Again the GF loves there sparkling selections, so we'll keep coming back for her. Once and a while they'll add in a frozen beverage which is always nice on the hot day's

Great options of hard tea and seltzer. Also beer by Embolden Brewing. Dog and kid friendly. Large space with lots of seating indoors and outside on their patio. Highly recommend.

Was picking up this Ube flavored beer at Trader Joes that looked interesting when the checkout person told me that this is by by a brewing company in SD that has other Asian flavored beers. Loved their "Dawn in Ube" so came to Embolden to check out what else they had. Turns out they've got traditional craft beers, Asian themed craft brews, and a hard seltzer/kombucha lines as well. Favorites of mine included their macha and hojicha beers, as well as a hard watermelon lemonade and their "Love Triangle", which is a raspberry, cacao, and vanilla stout! Service was friendly and fast. Really amazing variety of very tasty and unique craft beers and drinks, with a great outdoor beer garden/patio area as well as picnic tables indoors. (Just wish I could get some of their other brews from the stores). The afternoon I went, they also hosted an "adopt a dog" event, so friends and I got to chill out with delicious beverages while enjoying the company of some very cute pups and doggies! Going to have to try for an after work happy hours here!

My first time at Embolden was in December 2024 after visiting the distillery next door: Seven Caves (which is a fantastic place to check out). I've been to the location ages ago when it was a different brewery. The space is large and well setup. There is plenty of seating and there is also a patio with heat lamps for the cooler days and evenings. They also usually have a food truck outside. I've been there when they had a pizza truck and when they've had a Mexican food truck. Our group of 12 or so hung out and drank good beer, ate pizza, and had such a good time that we decided this was to place to have our annual friend gathering which would hold the 25-30 friends for shenanigans. That evening I emailed the brewery's event planner, Megan A. She got back to me in less than 48 hours with questions and answers to my questions. We confirmed a date and time and next steps. Unfortunately, we had a death in the family in January and had to postpone our event. Megan was completely understanding and helpful and made it easy for us to pause things until we could figure out life. In early March, I contacted her back with a couple of date options to see if we could reinstate our event and again she was completely accommodating. We scheduled for a new date at the end of March 2025. The date arrived and I got to Embolden early to setup tables and charcuterie with our friend who makes the best boards. I met with Megan. She showed us the area we could occupy. The birthday girl and guy arrived as did 20 others. We were able to mingle and snack and drink together with no issues. Their light garden wall was beside our area and was perfect for a group shot. The whole crew had a great time and Embolden was a great setting and venue for our event. Megan/Embolden staff: you rock harder than Gibraltar! Thank you!

Beer here is awesome and Slick Rick (Ryoko cafe) made our Father's Day out so much more fun and special. He is an absolute joy! THANK YOU Rick for your kindness and generosity! We had a blast!

LOVE MY DRINK! It was really tasty and I've never had anything like it before. I also really like the location of this place because it is very spacious and great for group gatherings. The staff here are so nice :) I would highly recommend this place!

We went Saturday night. I had a hard lemonade that I could drink all night. Delicious! The bartender was polite and friendly. It definitely wasn't busy for a Saturday, I'm guessing because it's in an industrial area, however, the employee said it does get busier during the week since they run trivia's and things during the week. I will be back.

Great relaxed venue to sample beers. It's located in an industrial park with picnic tables. A cute dog roamed the bar so we loved petting him.

I've never heard of this place before, and after coming here, I'm surprised it's not more popular! Their menu does seem to be more limited compared to other places though. Very spacious indoor warehouse with a smaller, super cute outdoor patio area. I tried one of their seasonal drinks which was a matcha IPA, although I can't remember the name of the drink. The matcha flavor was nonexistent, but the drink itself did have a green color so people were asking me about it all night and a ton of people ended up ordering it too. Despite the lack of matcha flavor, the drink itself was really good! Dog friendly! One of the staff members had her friendly pup there that we were able to pet! Small parking lot but plenty of street parking right outside the lot. Overall, not as popular as some of the other breweries in the area and a smaller selection of drinks, but a great option if you want to go somewhere less crowded.

I've had the pleasure of attending two events here back-to-back: one with the SD Hiking Ladies group and another with the "Thinking While Drinking" group. The fact that this place was buzzing with activity speaks volumes about its popularity. They offer a great variety of drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic, including beer, hard seltzers, and hard kombucha. Exploring San Diego breweries is always exciting given the abundance to choose from. The range of options at New Motion is commendable - there's a little something for everyone, making it a definite crowd-pleaser. It's easily one of the top three spots in my book. I usually try to arrive a bit earlier, if possible, to avoid any parking stress. While the restaurant has a relatively small parking lot, there's plenty of street parking available nearby. The service is consistently friendly, and the tasting room exudes a cool vibe with its spacious layout. Additionally, there's plenty of outdoor seating, providing ample space to relax and enjoy your time.

[Drinks] - Peach Lemonade: Very slight hint of peach flavor but tastes very similarly to a hi chew candy! - Yuzu Haru: Described as a hard sparking white tea. Although good, I wish there was a stronger note of Yuzu. - Watermelon Slushie: We were given this as a free tester since there weren't many people there today and the employee didn't want to waste the remaining. Delicious alcoholic watermelon slushie for a hot summer day! [Service] - Friendly, helpful, nice - Order at the bar and hang around where there's an open seat or around. [Ambiance] - Chill, spacious, friendly vibes. - Fun group games near or at the tables like Corn Hole, Uno, and other board games. - There's a small business located by the entrance that sells cute pins, stickers, keychains, and other accessories [Overall] - Would love to come back again as my friends and I had a great time here sipping our drinks and hanging out!

Shogun launch party! Vendors were amazing and drinks OMG! Only thing that needed improvement was the choice in DJ. For a solid 20 mins she played instrumental elevator music that completely killed the vibe. There was also a pause in music which makes me think they went with the lowest bidder. They should not have gone cheap for such an important milestone. Definitely coming back for the drinks and vendors.

There was an anime micro-con going on that I saw on IG and decided to check it out as I wanted to check out as there was a brewery. It's located in an industrial area with warehouses around, sharing its location with BizBaz boba on Production Ave in between Mira Mesa and Sorrento Valley. There's a small parking lot with ample stalls. I got their Mango Palmer which was a 5% hard tea, and wow! It was a dangerous drink LOL. I couldn't taste any alcohol whatsoever and the tea itself was very smooth. There was also another drink I wanted to try that had kiwi in it. Definitely will be back to try that in the future! This brewery seems to have really good selections of alcohol that other places may not have like hard tea, hard kombucha, etc. Luckily, it's near my home! Will be back in the future.

I love Embolden! The beer and the tasting room are top-notch in my book. I've been here a few times now and each time was a grand success. The first time we came, we had another event to go to in the area so we decided to pop in and see what Embolden is all about. As soon as we stepped in we were like, "This is pretty cool". A good variety of drinks alcoholic and non- beer, hard teas, hard seltzers, hard kombucha, Tepache, and my local favorite, Preston's Ginger Beer, set the scene for what was a great afternoon/evening. They've even got a boba shop, Biz Baz Boba, inside that will satisfy those looking for a little something extra in terms of beverages. I'm a huge fan of Hazy IPAs and I've been very pleased with Embolden's libations. Oh, they've got some cool merch too. Embolden has a large indoor and outdoor space, which makes them great for all seasons. The outdoor patio has a cool, vertical corn hole like game that kept a toddler and I pretty entertained for quite some time. There were two different food spots, one cart and one truck, that provided some nice options for those looking to stuff their gullet with food and beverages. Although parking can be tight, there is plenty of street parking that is a short walk from the front door. Oh I must mention that they also have these really really cool pop-up shops put on by Biz Baz Boba. We bought so much local art and pins. I highly recommend checking out the Biz Baz website for dates and times. Huge thanks to the lively and friendly crew at Embolden! Thanks for making Embolden and New Motion a cool place to hang.

This is a cool place. I had been to this venue once before but I don't remember it being called Embolden Beer. Anyway, pizza truck outside in case ur hungry and cool inside with some games and plenty of room. They had all kinds of beers to choose from including ciders and hard teas etc. so it was fun to do a flight. They also have an outdoor patio full of tables to sit at. Def a cool place to hang out and drink some beer.

Fun brewery in Miramar, on Production Ave just to the north of Miramar Road. Large warehouse type building with large beer vats, barrels, tables, and an outdoor "garden" patio. They have a great variety of beers/lagers/ales/cider and sodas. They don't serve food but they have a revolving set of food trucks so there is usually good food to go with the beer. Friendly staff and fun place to hang out with friends. Parking does get tight when they have events, but most of the nearby businesses are deserted to you can still find parking. Lots of noise from Miramar airbase with F-18c/d frequently taking off and landing. No issue with the USMC, but it does make it hard to have conversations or hold a more formal event.

Nice selection of beers and a cool location. I especially liked their barrel aged stout, and hesitantly (I'm not a fan of pastry stouts) the blueberry pastry stout as good too. Lots of barrels with beer aging in them that I look forward to trying. The place is a bit off the path but they have a nice outdoor area too. It was raining when we went so we stayed inside. Barrel aged Seltzer? Not a Seltzer fan myself but It would be interesting to try this for sure!

Came here with my bf and dog on a Saturday and I was honestly surprised it wasn't busy. I think this place is def new but it has so much potential to bringing the crowds in!! The outdoor patio is so well decorated, has plenty of tables and they play great music!! I was totally vibing with everything. Indoor space is also great, it's super spacious with a couple of bigger tables and seating. In terms of drinks, there's a lot beers, hard seltzers, hard tea and even spiked icee drinks to choose from! My BF likes sours so he got the vol 7 drink and I got a a lager. Both were good with 10 oz being $5.50 each. I kinda wish there was more selection of sours (maybe one other one) to help even out the beer types. Aside from that there's plenty of other things on the menu to satisfy anyone! There's also a good stand here outside. I think it was serving Mexican food! Not sure if they rotate the food but it was smelling pretty good. I'll have to give it a try.

Not sure why this has 5 stars. I mean to sum it up, in a region with TONS of local breweries, this one is "meh". I mean there was at least a food truck up front, and plenty of space. But the beer selection was very limited. Not only that, I've been here a handful of times through the years and the drink rotation has not changed. At all. The beer menus are sticky and not well cared for. To top it all off, the brewery had a strong smell of something rotting. Very distracting. Just skip this one.

We had a long day of Brewery hopping in Miramar and Embolden was our last stop. We had such a good time in our short 45 minute stay; in hindsight, I wish it was our first stop. They closed at 2100 on this night, and we walked in at 2015... the two beautiful ladies running the bar this night were very knowledgeable and helped us pick out a couple of beers before they closed. Our time here was made great by the delicious beers they have. This is a very awesome brewery!

Always exciting to try out San Diego breweries as there are so many to pick from and more often than not prove to be good experiences. For Embolden Steve and I had one of their beers. The Abstract Dreams Vol. 6. As the name of the beer implies this beer comes in various versions and what we had was a Passion Fruit Sour. This was a pretty good sour as it wasn't too sugared up and the pucker effect that should be in a sour did indeed show up while drinking it. I'd like to try more versions of Abstract Dreams!

We stopped by to visit a friend during a car show/event over the weekend. It was very busy. Cars and a few vendor tents outside and quite a few vendors set up inside the venue. The bar area was packed but the staff was very friendly and quick to help. Even though there were so many people they made sure to check-in with us, see if we need anything (including refills). The inside is spacious, plenty of bar top seating/standing area plus there is a very spacious exterior area with a good amount of seating (picnic style seating). It is a great location for an event and I can imagine the possibility of a band playing on the weekend. My husband got a lighter beer and really enjoyed it. There are a few other places around, Embolden is in a great location to grab a drink sit and chat then possibly mosey on over to check out a few other places in the area. Great location!

Brave the Haze, Living in a Haze, Midnight Tokyo, All I's on me, and of course their excellent pepperoni pizza! Among these All I's on me was the best :) (as an ipa lover)

They offer beer, hard seltzer, hard tea and hard kombucha on one menu. If you're looking for wine, liquor or cider get lost, chump! You've gotta respect the variety, a little bit of everything makes New Motion a crowd pleaser and they have some straight up bangers on the menu. I found myself partial to the hard teas but, honestly, everything was good. Bonus points for including the full menu on the flight tray. Friendly service, cool and spacious tasting room with ample outdoor seating and sort of a "must" if you're hitting Beeramar.

Embolden is tucked away off Miramar where they're m brewing their own brews and serving hard teas, kombucha, and seltzers from New Motion. A great variety of beers and a large, open indoor and outdoor patio seating areas - perfect for a casual happy hour or just kickin it. The beer selection leaned a bit more toward the IPA, lager, and German beer side and not many stouts. We had the Broken Record IPA and the Jamaica Fresca hard seltzer. The Broken Record was a classic SD IPA - bright, not too heavy, and a great hoppy balance. The Jamaica Fresca was ok but a little on the sweet side for us. They had an awesome Persian food truck Tahdig Tacos (essentially Persian crispy rice with a variety of Persian stews, Mexican, or Korean fusion foods with the rice) outside serving some great eats as well and I thought they were perfect to go down with some casual beers

It's summertime so it's time for outdoor happy hours in San Diego. This is tucked away inside Miramar and has a half outside/half inside setup. It's huge so plenty of roaming around. Large variety of beers here including tart ones. Then some unique choiceslike hard kumbucha, hard teas and hard seltzers. Only bad point was that there was a korean/mexican fusion food truck and it was not very appetizing. Hopefully they rotate food choices.

Cool vibe with a boba counter near the entrance and dog friendly - plenty of seating but very little parking. They had a nice blend of beer, hard tea, and hard seltzer but it felt like the wide range of selection made the quality suffer a little bit. The beverages I had (2 hazy IPAs, a hard tea, and a hard seltzer) were mid but not too much going on in terms of flavor, just basic (not bad at all though!)

Wow! Delicious variety of options! Looking for a stout, golden stout, Pilsen, or Hells Lager? You're good. Maybe you want a variety of seltzers or hard teas, you're good! Maybe want a hard kombocha? They've got that, too! There is honestly no way to be disappointed of the options here. My favorite was the Apricot Hard Tea - not sweet, not too tea like - just the perfect amount of everything. If you're looking for a hard seltzer, I recommend the Paloma. Between the drink and the music playing throughout the brewery, it reminds me of being at an all-inclusive in Mexico - amazing! Bonus - they've got a pizza truck on site making some delicious food inside of an old trolley car.

I am 100% not a beer person, but I actually enjoyed everything I tried at New Motion. My boyfriend insisted on bringing me here not only for the drinks, but also to meet the super sweet owners! Thank you for being so welcoming and letting us sample, we will definitely be back when dine-in is allowed again and we can enjoy the patio :) They have quite a few options here that are tart and fruity, which definitely suits my palate better. Everything we tried ordered from my favorite to least favorite, aka most tart/fruity to least: 1. The Paloma 2. Beware of Thorns 3. Rosé all Daé 4. Abstract Dreams 5. Bravery in Pink 5. Apricot Bliss

Nice large space & a lovely beer garden! Nice heaters for cool days. Diverse selection of beers, hard teas & kombucha. Have tasters & cans to go; food truck in the parking lot most days.

Found this spot on yelp. The menu had a lot of sour beer options so I had to come. This spot has a cool patio and indoor seatings. My coworkers and I came here on a Saturday night and had the inside to ourselves. It was nice.

This is probably one of my favorite breweries in the Miramar area, mainly because of their unique selections of hard tea! I haven't been to any brewery in the SD area that had hard tea options. The coconut one was the most memorable one I had and super yummy. When I went there, there was what looked like the trolleys you find in Old Town parked out front, and it was a functioning pizza food trolley lol. I didn't try the pizza, but good to know that there was food on site. I went to the same brewery on a different occasion when the pizza trolley was closed and the workers at the brewery said there was a local pizza place nearby that delivered to the brewery free of charge. The workers had menus of the pizza place on hand! My friend that I went with had come on the weekend before and told me that on Saturday nights they usually have a DJ playing music in the back patio. Unfortunately the Saturday we went there wasn't a DJ... so I'm not sure if they've discontinued that. Either way, without the DJ, this brewery has cool vibes, very high ceilings, and a coffee shop inside as well! Lots of seating area and good drink options overall!

A cute little place in Miramar with surprisingly good beer. People would really appreciate the chic hipster decor. There is a pizza trolley and a coffee shop inside as well. I definitely recommend coming here for a variety of tasty beer. Some favorites: Don prickles prickly pear kolsch Dreamland fruited hazy IPA with vanilla Mango Palmer hard sparkling tea Blueberry insight hard sparkling black tea

We've been to new motion a few times and not only do they have great beer, but the people who work there are amazing. They are so friendly, always have great conversation, and super cool! Today, for example, the bartender Chris was so fun to talk to and was so nice to our kids! Just the interaction with him made being there more fun! Our first time ever going there, we stumbled upon the brewery after an absolutely horrible night because I had gotten tickets to a concert and we missed the show due to a long story I won't get into. The band is not SUPER well known, so it's not like anything you would ever expect to hear playing on the radio or at a brewery or anything like that. The bartenders felt so bad for me and started blasting the band so I could listen to them and sing along at the brewery. (And surprisingly, someone there was a fan and joined in lol) Anyways, the place is clean and fun. And the people are even better!

Um.... AMAZING, AMAZING place!! You can tell this is a women owned business because of all the detail of everything!! From the Garden, to the bathroom!! Absolutely adore Embolden! AND... it's dog friendly too!! With I could give an extra star for that!! Janae is a doll and her dog Woodstock is the friendliest fluff monster around!! My husband and I will be coming back FOR SURE!! The drink in the picture is the Electric Feel!! Delicious!! Ordered 3 of them!! This place does not disappoint!!

I love this brewery! Not only do their serve beers, but they also serve hard teas, hard seltzers, & kombucha. Their space is huge with plenty of seating indoors & out. Their outdoor space is gorgeous, with lounge chairs. They have pizza available from Pizza Trolley. Dog & family friendly. Tangerine Hard Seltzer: A must get! I get this every time. Refreshing & sweet.

I'm so happy this place found and followed me on Instagram or I wouldn't have know this gem was walking distance from my office! I came here last week to pick up a few crowlers with a coworker of mine and the staff were so friendly and courteous! Just another thing I love about San Diego, extremely friendly people. I tried the Watermelon breeze and Berry galaxy hard seltzers and the pomegranate unicorn and apricot bliss hard teas. The watermelon breeze wasn't great to me...tasted like vodka with a hint of watermelon, but the berry galaxy was so flavorful and had a hint of sweetness. The pomegranate unicorn was very smooth and easy to drink with a subtle fruity flavor. The apricot bliss was my favorite! It was creamy and smooth almost like it had lactose in it. Today I came back for a few more crowlers of the apricot bliss and they had a new seltzer, Key Lime Lagoon. This time I decide to stick around and wait out traffic so I had this seltzer from the tap. I was initially interested because of its blue color, but it was so refreshing and tasty too! The outdoor seating is very stylish! Think beer garden meets restoration hardware with a hint of urban outfitters. This is such a great place for a post-work drink. I'm surprised it's not more popular! I will be back every week at this rate!

Thank you Brianna and Bailey! You guys are gems and the drinks are so great! And omg those Micheladas.

This place is nice. They had a food truck and plenty of seating. They also had a screen that was playing movies. They also have a boba bar if you don't want beer.

Unique beers, outside the typical IPA (those are good too), that are extremely well crafted. Sours and stouts left a lasting impression that has me make the trip just for their product, even amongst all the other surrounding breweries!

I had a great experience here with my co-workers. The place is spaces and have a welcoming vibe to it which we loved. The service are 10/10 because they let us try out so many beers before we committed to one. Additionlly, there are plenty of parking so don't you worry about it.

Embolden Beer Company is a cool, fresh, and unique brewery that is sure to have something that will interest you. Check out Embolden if you want something cold to drink.

Their Dreaming of Bordeaux Barrel Aged Sour Blonde is one of the best, most unique beers I have ever had! For my full review, check out my podcast episode on Embolden Beer Company at frequentflighters.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.

Very nice ambiance with a chill beer garden. Even venom gives it a 10 . Love bringing my family and friends over

The best ipas on the market 2022 and I one of the coolest small breweries as far as decor and beer garden and pizza trolly, easily become one of the best in mir mar!!!!! The comment left by James is nothing but false claims and he should be ashamed of himself for his opinions in which are complete lies , the manager/ bar tender with the accent is one of the nicest persons I've ever met at a brewery! Always has a smile and a hello and is welcoming to everyone of all races

Went to Embolden for the first time. They we're getting ready for their first anniversary, but they were very helpful. We'll be back.

It's a gem in the beer coven area, not only great beers but hard teas, ciders and kombucha. The staff is ALWAYS super friendly and will let you try everything. Huge space with the brewery actually in the bar! All open air. Pizza food truck! Often have DJs and always have music. We venture from downtown for this place!

Tucked away like a lot of SD breweries in the area, this place is a hidden gem! It's beautiful on the inside and has a great outdoor space. Bartenders were patient and friendly. Came here for trivia and we had a great time! The sparkling tea drinks are what's unique here, highly recommend giving them a try!

This brewery is nothing short of amazing! The atmosphere and drinks available are all awesome whether you are looking for hard kombucha, hardseltzer, hard sparkling teas or beer. Definitely come check this spot out! They have a great outdoor patio with heaters and fire pits that definitely set a fun vibe. They had a pizza food truck that was also great, what goes better than pizza and drinks, more drinks?

This place is amazing. I absolutely love their alcohol. It's super cute inside and I definitely will come back.

Delicious beers and sparkling teas! They have a nice little garden and the beer-tenders are so nice. The mango sparkling tea and the watermelon sparking tea are wonderful. We enjoyed every drink we had. It's a child-friendly space and there's no loud blasting music/tv so definitely an enjoyable experience. They often have a pizza truck visiting that smells delicious, although we did not eat there. We brought a few board games and nobody bothered us - except to ask about the game :) Definitely recommend!
