One of the best tasting/brewery experiences my wife and Ive had. They have indoor and outdoor sitting area with pizza for food ordering during these COVID times. Our bartender Jake made it amazing, fun to hang out with and a great person, if the beer wasnt as amazing as it was would come back just to hang out with him. Speaking of the star attraction, the beer here is phenomenal. We are from the east coast and are used to barrel aged sours from Wicked Weed, the funkiness of New Belgium, Burials amazing brews, and Idyll Hounds perfection. But this place is in the top of my breweries due to how they can do all types very well. I never had a blonde I liked until I came here, and their kettle sours are great as an intro for people into beers or sours in general. 5/5 would recommend.
This place is awesome, great craft brews and sours, great management. Check this place out if youre in El Cajon.
Great spot. Lots of outdoor seating, the beer they have ranges from truly creative styles to classics that anyone who likes SD beer will appreciate.
Always a craft beer adventure! Solid IPAs and so much more. A favorite local spot
Legit beer! these guys are cool here. visiting from Temecula stopped in...tasted several from hazy pale to sour, and some milkshake IPAs..loved them all..keep up the great job Creative Creature!!
Fun little brewery. Liked the variety on tap, there was something tasty for everyone. Everyone was super nice. But it is small!

Went to pick up beer ordered online. Was ready to go when I got there. Staff very friendly, helpful.
Amazing brews
Amazing service as always 👏
This place is great!I loved the location and the selection! They had some really great sours, which I like.Plus, I could have the pizza next door delivered while I enjoyed my beer out on the patio.I will definitely return.
Great people, really good beer. Was happy to experience a variety of creative beers (theres something for everyone) that taste like real ingredients rather than ridiculously hyped up flavors. Cant wait to see them grow and get even better.
Crazy creative beer, love how experimental they are in their craft
Went here with the whole family and got samples of almost everything they had on tap - and it was excellent. They make a variety of high quality, delicious beers. Much recommended.
Creative Creature is by far one of the best in San Diego. There are very few breweries that truly nail a New England style IPA. This is where Creative Creature excels. I highly recommend this brewery you will not be disappointed.
I love the pizza here!!
Creative Creature is a tiny place in downtown El Cajon that you might miss if you arent careful. Unlike a Tardis, its bigger on the outside. The crew is fun and knowledgeable with an eye toward providing a unique experience. We chose the Pumpkin beer for an Autumn treat. An unexpectedly light golden creation poured into the glasses as we watched in surprise. One sip sealed the case, this was a citrus brew. I had to ask if the citrus flavor was lime, but apparently not. A slight finish of pumpkin might have been detectable, I cant be sure. Regardless of my expectation, our ales were delicious and priced reasonably. We sat outdoors on a comfortable patio and enjoyed the entire experience. Not sure where the citrus pumpkin idea came from, but Ill be back to try some different Creative Creatures craft. Try them for yourself and take advantage of a new brew in the making!
Awesome new spot for us east county residents. Smaller scale brewery (which I like cause it’s all about the beer) Chill vibe, all the staff will take time to chat beer with you. They have a variety of IPA and Sours. Outdoor patio is cool. Check them out-
I love Creative Creature! Best beer in El Cajon! Im a huge fan of sours and they keep a good selection on tap.
The majority of their beers are not particularly flavorful. Im not an IPA drinker, but the El Cajones lager is especially flavorless, as many lagers are. The three Berliner Weiss options were decent, with the Tamarindo being the most flavorful. There best of the lot was the Stout with vanilla and other flavors. The spicy Porter had a nice burn in the after taste, if you like that sort of thing, but when I visited it seemed flat which I think hindered the flavor.One positive was the service, which was very good, unlike some other SD area breweries. Derek was very nice and friendly and even came by a couple of times to clear away the empty glasses.
If you know me, you know I love beer. And I can guarantee this is the best local brewery in SD. Amazing quality beer and amazing customerservice, what more do you want?
Great selection of sours and IPAs! Cool location and kid friendly.
Have yet to have a beer i dont like... always on point!!
Definitely try El Cucuy! Its a coffee stout thats packs a punch but keeps you up!
The pizza was tasty. Its a thin crust style which was a nice change.
Nice little space connected to the pizza place. Beer is pretty good.
Great location, Great Beer, Great service. Definitely recommend this brewery and will definitely come again.
I recently moved to El Cajon and Im delighted to see that theres a brewery so close to home, with super friendly staff no less. When I went, there were 14 beers on tap. Of the two I tried, Kiwisaki (sour IPA) was my utmost favorite. Not too many breweries offer sours, so please keep making this one! The second beer I tried was El Cucuy (stout), definitely a winner with the winter weather. Can we please put this on nitro?!?! Looking forward to trying more delicious brews.Things to know before you go: inside seating is limited, but theres also some outdoors, with heaters if its cold. Also, you can order take out from Urbn if youre hungry. And dont forget to bring your growler!
Great sours and outdoor seating area.
Small nice place to have some tasty craft beers
It wa tiny, the server didnt ask if it was our first time, didnt offer to samples of beers we wanted to try.All he said was you can buy a 4oz. If you what to try it.Service was okay.& the beer was okay.
My favorite craft sour beers are from here!
I liked the place, the beer was good, good creative beers. Ill be back!
This place has GREAT BEERS, a AWESOME Tamarindo brew. The staff is very friendly.
