San Diego · SAN DIEGO BREWERY & BEER TOURS
The county pours more craft beer than anywhere else in the country and most of it never leaves the state. These 5 compare the taproom counts, the transport and the prices, with the food stops noted.
Walk San Diego’s North Park with beer expert Stefan, visiting three or four award-winning breweries. You’ll sample local beers, learn how brewing shapes flavor, try food pairings, and hear about the neighborhood’s art, culture, and beer scene.
“Expect to have a good time and learn about different flavors of beer. Stefan does a great job and explains things so you understand.”
Cross from San Diego into Tijuana for three craft-beer stops, real Mexican tacos, and local sights. Guides such as Victor, Humberto, and Tadeo tailor the day to the group. The tour includes transportation, water, two beer flights or pints, and a maximum of 12 people.
“Tadeo was a great host! He personalized the experience based on my preferences. I thought the breweries were great, saw some landmarks and tried new foods. I would definitely recommend the experience to a friend. Thank you, Tadeo!”
Spend three hours walking San Diego’s North Park with beer guide Stefan, visiting 3 to 4 craft breweries for tastings and snack pairings. Learn how ingredients, brewing methods, and business choices shape each pint while hearing how North Park changed from a streetcar area into one of the city’s trendiest neighborhoods.
“We had the best afternoon. We learned a lot about beer, tasted some great brews and food and had a ton of fun with Stephan. Highly recommend this tour.”
Let Fredy or another local guide take you from your San Diego pickup point to two to four breweries in an air-conditioned vehicle. Choose your own stops or follow recommendations matched to your tastes, then buy flights, pours, and food as you go.
“Freddy was simple and great knowledge of beer. He does not force anything but cares for what his customers want. He is patient and very accommodating.”
Spend 4.5 hours touring San Diego’s beach communities, tasting up to 15 beers at two breweries, and learning how beer is made on a production tour. Transportation, a meal, guide, and tastings are included. The outing starts and ends at 1050 Kettner Blvd.
“we were on a kind of private tour with just us party of four. After a bit of a slow start, we had loads of fun. Maybe a good idea to drink a bit of water between the beers to neutralize the taste of the last beer, before drinking the next one. Do not underestimate the small glas sizes.”
Water, streets, neighborhoods, or a run out of town.
