Gravity Heights is the newest—and overall probably the best—of the seven craft beer locations in #SorrentoValley.

There are seven very good craft breweries in Sorrento Valley. It deserves to be better known as a beer destination. #sdbeer #beertour #pubcrawl #craftbeer #SanDiego #beercation

The January 2019 update on #breweries #brewery and #tastingrooms #tastingroom locations in #SanDiego. SD is now home to 160 breweries (+3 compared to December) and 43 tasting rooms (+1) as of the end of January 2019.

13 Point Brewing is Lemon Grove’s first brewery, and San Diego’s first brewery opened in 2019. It is a nice spot and they are off to a great start. #craftbeer #craftbrewery #sdbeer

The list of all the breweries that opened and closed in San Diego County in 2018.

For a fun, interesting beer tour in Miramar that doesn’t require transportation between breweries, check out the Miralani Makers District. #craftbeer #beercation #beertour

A guide to touring breweries and tasting rooms in the Miramar area of San Diego. 17 breweries and 2 tasting rooms justify the “Beeramar” moniker. #beercation #breweries #craftbeer

Craving an authentic pub experience? Fourpenny House is as close to a Scottish pub as you’ll find in San Diego. The beer and food and very good, and the atmosphere is excellent.

Small net growth of 2% in San Diego craft breweries over 2017, but a whole lot of interesting detail and context led to that result. Check out my “SD Beer in 2018” post.

Despite the sad closing of two Council Brewing locations, Acoustic Ales not having current production, and a scare for Benchmark Brewing, the opening of Double Peak Brewing in San Marcos and the start of contract-brewing-while-it-builds-out for Harland Brewing means San Diego craft beer saw only a net decrease of 1 brewery in December 2018.

Helia Brewing Co. has hit a home run with their lovely tasting room and excellent beer.

There are now four breweries and a tasting room in a tight grouping in Barrio Logan, making it an excellent destination for a beer tour. #beercation #beertour #sdbeer #craftbeer #craftbrewery

Melvin’s large, elegant tasting room is excellent, and so is the beer.

You like burgers and beer. They sell burgers and beer.

Embarcadero Brewing in National City is also a home brew supply shop. The friendliness and expertise of the staff makes this a great place to go drink beer while you talk about beer. And the beer is good, too. #sdbeer #craftbeer
