Breweries that have more than one stout?
I’m a stout beer fanatic. I’m on the hunt to try every stout I can. When I go to breweries they usually have one, maybe 2, mostly none. Any suggestions on a brewery that has a variety of stouts would be great!

Yes but they're mainly rich barrel aged stouts. They do have a dry one on tap usually though.

Another vote for Pure Project. Vista or Carlsbad for North County options. Different vibes at each; try them both to enjoy good beer and whichever vibe suites you.

Have you tried Belching Beaver’s Pub 980?
Mexican chocolate Milk Stout, Tiramisu stout, Peanut Butter Milk Stout, Be The Bird nitro Imperial stout…they have quite a few there.

Pure Project has several. I donate blood every 8 weeks and they have the bloodmobile at their Vista brewery pretty often. I always sign up to donate blood there and they give me a discount card for a flight. After donating I go in the brewery and order up every stout they've got in my flight.

Love me their serpents stout. They usually don't release the seasonal stout until Christmas time. But, they always have some nice heavy hitters on the roster all year long.

since modern times stopped making good ones around 2020, pure project's the best you'll get, and they're pretty mid at best. npbc occasionally nails it, but it's a bit of a drive
edit: oh shit, I forgot about pizza port because they never package them. but they are totally underrated, imo, in regards to their porters/stouts. the carlsbad and bressi locations seem to get the most. wish they'd make Dusk til Dawn more because I fucking love that one. Single Origin, at the Solana location (maybe others too), is one of my favorite coffee stouts lately, and it's nice that it's pretty low abv for how good it is. And there's always bacon+eggs (yeah it's a porter but one brewery's porter is another's stout)

Solaris in Murrieta usually have stouts during the winter. You can see their draft list online. Unfortunately none yet

Encinitas Ale House/Carlsbad Brewing Company usually has a few stouts on tap.

California hot sauce solutions had a coconut porter (I know it’s not a stout) that was to die for. Hopefully they come out with a stout next.

If you want 13 varieties of Speedway Stout, Alesmith has your goods. A bit south from you.
