Here’s the monthly BeerMaverick.com update on the number of breweries and tasting rooms in San Diego! #craftbeer #sandiego

The tasting room is okay, the free pretzels are a nice touch, and if you order the right things you’ll like the beer.  #craftbeer #SanDiego

For beer and atmosphere, Bear Roots is a place to seek out. Bear Cookie is unquestionably the best Peanut Butter Stout in San Diego and it should be nationally famous.  #craftbeer #sandiego

I predict that this brewery will soon be much better known; it makes consistently good beers and has a fun tasting room. #craftbeer #sandiego

The Stone Brewing mothership in Escondido is a “don’t miss” place–both for beer geeks on pilgrimage and for anyone wanting a good meal and great beer in a wonderful natural setting. #craftbeer #SanDiego

My whole experience at Port Brewing/The Lost Abbey in San Marcos made me grumpy.  #craftbeer #SanDiego

The people are really nice and the beer is really good at Aztec Brewing Company. #craftbeer #sandiego

While some things are definitely good at Indian Joe Brewing (like the decor), the most important thing (the beer) needs improvement.  #craftbeer #sandiego

Want to try three recent GABF medal winners and a crop of other solid beers? Head out to BNS Brewing in Santee. #craftbeer #sandiego

Mother Earth’s beer is great; but instead of the brewery go to the tasting room on Main St., just 3.4 miles away.  #craftbeer #SanDiego

Kearny Mesa’s newest #craftbrewery location looks good and the #beer is already good. #craftbeer #SanDiego

The Knotty Brewing tasting room has limited hours, but you can get several of their beers next door at Knotty Barrel, a bar with an extensive craft beer list and a fun atmosphere. #craftbeer #beer #SanDiego

The Mason Ale Works inside URGE Common House next to Cal State San Marcos is an impressive facility with good beer. #craftbeer #beer #SanDiego #SanMarcosCA

The “OG” Karl Strauss location downtown. You’ll find some great food and all the excellent Karl beers you love. Just don’t try to park downtown during Padres games. #craftbeer #beer #SanDiego

Border X Brewing in Barrio Logan offers Mexican-inspired beers in a relaxed tasting room, plus tacos. #craftbeer #sandiego

This new addition to Barrio Logan’s brewing scene will be popular for its back deck and solid #craftbeer. #SanDiego

Mason Ale Works (inside Oceanside’s URGE Gastropub) makes good #craftbeer and serves it in a classy, hip setting.
