The nice patio and relaxed beach theme at Oceanside Brewing Company are reasons to come here; the beer and the service are good enough to make you want to stay. #craftbeer #sandiego

Northern Pine Brewing in Oceanside offers a good location, a well-designed interior, good service, food, and beer that is well-crafted right out of the gate. #craftbeer #sandiego

Kensington is finally home to the Kensington Brewing Company! The tasting room is bright and comfortable, and this family-operated business makes good beer. #craftbeer

Arcana Brewing tried a steampunk theme but didn’t quite pull it off. The beer is only halfway, too. #craftbeer #SanDiego

A cycling theme pervades the Rouleur Brewing tasting room in the Carlsbad Brewery Ignitor, lending a fun note to the relaxed and sophisticated ambience. The diverse beer offerings are named after things in cycling–and the beer is good. #craftbeer #sandiego #carlsbad 

November 2017 San Diego beer update: 10 new breweries and tasting rooms since mid-Sept brings the total to 198, an increase of 25 in the last 7 months, and nearly 50 in the last year. #craftbeer #sdcraftbeer #SanDiego

Beer is safer than water. And much tastier–especially at Black Plague Brewing in Oceanside. #craftbeer #sandiego

SpecHops brewing is still a relative newcomer in Vista’s brewing scene; even so, they’ve built a following and show signs of becoming a good brewery.

Wild Barrel Brewing is a unique new brewery with a pleasant tasting room in San Marcos. They offer a full range of styles, not just the barrel aged sours and imperial stouts implied by the name. #craftbeer #sandiego

OAW is one of San Diego’s older breweries. Open late, they offer great service and pretty good beer in a dive-bar-like atmosphere. #craftbeer #sandiego

Pacific Islander Brewing offers a relatively small number of very high quality beers to an appreciative crowd. #craftbeer #sandiego

The D&D gaming theme at BattleMage is a ton of fun, and the crowd seems to have a strong affinity for this new brewery. When the beers are more polished, this will be a good spot. #craftbeer #SanDiego

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
