1-800-745-7876 San Diego has amazing options when it comes to craft beers! Here is a long list of local breweries. I have added a couple of my favorites to the top.
Ballast Point Brewing – Scripps Ranch
9045 Carroll Way San Diego, CA 92121 | (858) 790-6901The perfect balance of taste and aroma. An obsession with ingredients. An exploration of techniques. And while we savor the result, we’re just as fascinated by the process to get there. What started as a small group of home brewers, who simply wanted to make a better beer, evolved into the adventurers known today as Ballast Point. We live to add our own touch and ask if there’s a better way. As we tinkered, tested and tasted, we discovered that making beer was more art than science. And while we respect and honor tradition, we relish the opportunity to take it further. That freedom has allowed us to reinterpret brewing. And along the way help to reinvigorate the industry. From bringing a hoppy twist to a porter, or developing a proprietary yeast for our amber ale, to creating a breakthrough gold medal-winning IPA. We couldn’t stop with just beer, so we got into the distilling business—to see if we could add our own spin to another centuries-old craft. But all of this would be wasted if we couldn’t share it. Whether serving up new flavors, collaborating with seasoned brewmasters, or training the next generation at Home Brew Mart, we not only want to challenge our own tastes, but expand yours. Ballast Point. Dedicated to the craft.
Stone Brewing – Liberty Station
2816 Historic Decatur Rd #116, San Diego, CA 92106 | 619-269-2100Gluten Free Options, Kid-friendly, Great for Outdoor Dining, Good for Anniversaries, relaxing, Date night… The braised short rib with polenta is FANTASTIC! We enjoyed the beer selection, and since I’m not a beer drinker I enjoyed a very good glass of wine. We ate outside in the garden which is very nice.
Karl Strauss – La Jolla
1044 Wall Street, La Jolla, CA 92037 | 858-551-2739Highly recommend! we had a wonderful meal, we needed a gluten free option for my wife and they have a mini bookmark sized menu for their wait staff to keep on them at all times, and that was perfect. I ordered the flat iron sirloin and it was pretty spicy and pretty excellent. Pretty reasonably priced and walking distance to many beautiful stores and the beach where we got to see the seals taking a nap 🙂
