Things to do in San Diego, California (CA): The Best Breweries
San Diego embodies laid-back California culture, complete with a Boardwalk, surfing communities, and outstanding Mexican food. Breathe in the fresh ocean air at Sunset Cliffs Natural Park, then gobble down a fresh fish taco at a La Jolla seafood joint. The naval aircrafts at the USS Midway Museum will have you standing at attention. A free Sunday concert at the Spreckels Organ Pavilion is the perfect way to unwind after a Saturday night bar-hop in the thumping Gaslamp Quarter.

Had a great time on the tour and their tasting room is top notch. I had all 4 of their Saisons and several other tasters...all phenomenal! Probably one of the best breweries in SD. The bartender, C.C., was great and the other staff were laid back and very personable as well.

From the long bar and raised dining area, guests at this busy and popular microbrewery and restaurant view the brew kettle and shiny fermenters.

We stopped by the last night in La Jolla. I have had Green Flash beer before so I knew we would be having some good brews. I was impressed by the brewery and it looks like a really cool place to hang out.

We did our own brewery tour and made sure to include AleSmith. We were not disappointed! Cool vibe on the inside with big rollup doors and the outside patio had plenty of shade to enjoy the weather. The food truck, Biersal, was amazing. Perfect pairing for our tasty brews.

Many of their beers work with our pallet. Their Dunkel is outstanding!! Friendly staff, located in cool old Wonder Bread factory within quick walk of the stadium / gas lamp area. Dog-friendly & free games to play as well. Will be going back here again for sure! Note: I would be a bit leery of walking around there after dark but that’s just me.
