Craft Beer

BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse is not usually thought of as producing craft beer, but in fact it does.

Align Brewing did a soft-open in May/June 2017. Don’t tell the crowd, they are showing up like it is already fully open.

The chill vibe combined with good beer and the proximity to a bunch of other interesting tasting rooms means Thunderhawk is a place I will definitely return to. 

Try flights of the same beer made with different yeasts. *Mind blown.* White Labs supplies yeast to brewers all over San Diego, and all over the US. Their tasting room is a delight, too.

How many breweries in San Diego? Let me count the ways….

The picnic tables create a relaxed, communal atmosphere in which your expectations are not too high.

All the Sculpins. Ballast Point’s Home Brew Mart reviewed.

32 N has a large, comfortable tasting room in their Miramar production facility.

Is this the worst brewery in San Diego? I’ve been to 84, and I think so.

Saint Archer drew the ire of many San Diego craft beer aficionados by selling out to MillerCoors. They still make some good beer.

Impressive location, concept, crowd, service and beer. We will be back to play some games! RECOMMENDED

Groundswell’s new Santee location has huge brewing tanks and an IPA-heavy menu.

Good beer in one of the better industrial-themed taprooms you’ll find. Good crowds, lots of fun. RECOMMENDED

Include Intergalactic Brewing on your next tour of “Beeramar.”

Undeniably great beer in a nicely decorated room with no seating. You decide.

Karlifornia, indeed. Thumbs up for great beer, service, and location. RECOMMENDED

A Viking-themed brewery with some delicious beers and a fun tap room.

Green Flash’s Cellar 3 offers Alpine and GF beers along with some unique barrel aged beauties.
