Craft Beer
The world of craft brewing has exploded over the last decade. For me, it all started back in 2011 with Bell’s Two Hearted Ale. That beer opened my eyes of what craft beer should taste like and what I was missing by simply buying cases of Miller Lite.
Now, the amount of options craft beer drinkers have available to them is mind boggling. With over 7,500 local breweries spread out across the United States, everyone has access to some of the best beer you’ll ever have.
Amplified Ale Works, Pacific Beach Brew Pub
The Pacific Beach location isn’t the main brewing location anymore, but they still serve good craft beer (brewed at their Miramar location) and food in a nice setting right next to the beach.
Mike Hess Brewing, North Park
The Mike Hess Brewery in North Park is home to some excellent and innovative beers. RECOMMENDED.
Pacific Beach Ale House
Pacific Beach AleHouse is a brew pub about 200 yards from the beach. Its a nice spot, but the house beer is “okay” rather than “good.”
