There is an excellent grouping of eight craft breweries and satellite tasting rooms in Ocean Beach. Come for the #beach, stay for the #beer. #craftbeer #beertour #beercation #sdbeer #sandiegocraftbeer #sandiego #localbeer #indiebeer
Two Roots Brewing, Ocean Beach
Two Roots Brewing has a nifty tasting room in Ocean Beach. Their beers are good and the setting is very nice. Relax in the large window open to the street, or at the long bar.
Hodad's, Ocean Beach
I did not drink beer at Hodad’s original location in Ocean Beach. I recommend you don’t, too.
Plan 9 Alehouse, Escondido
Plan 9 Alehouse in Escondido is a nice spot for lunch and a beer. They have a quality guest craft beer list in addition to offering several made on site. The science fiction these is subtle but a nice touch.
Back to Bagby Beer Co., Oceanside
Babgy Beer Co. is right up there with one of the best craft beer experiences you can have. Check out their gorgeous Oceanside restaurant, especially the patios (plural), and sample some world-class beer. #localbeer #sdbeer #oceanside #independentbeer #beercation
Carlsbad Brewing Company, Bressi Ranch
Review #220: Carlsbad Brewing Co.: Another great brewery in the Bressi Ranch neighborhood of Carlsbad. #sdbeer #craftbeer #sandiegobeer #beertour #beertography
Mike Hess Brewing, Imperial Beach
The Mike Hess tasting room in Imperial Beach is right across the street from the Coronado Brewing pub, and it is home to an outpost of City Tacos. The beach and pier are steps away. It is an idyllic setting for summery days. #sdbeer #craftbeer

Knotty Barrel, Rancho Penasquitos
Knotty Barrel, a beer bar and tasting room for its Knotty Brewing brand, has a wonderful space. The tap list is extensive and excellent, though too light on their own beers. #sdbeer #sandiegobeer #localbeer #independentbeer

Double Peak Brewing, San Marcos
Double Peak Brewing is a small and still new brewery that is making some good beer. The setting outside is gorgeous, and the room is a step above the usual industrial tasting room.
Kairoa Brewing, University Heights
With a large and elegant dining room, long bar, perfect roof top patio, food and beer, Kairoa seems likely to be a huge hit.
How Many Breweries in San Diego? March 2019 Edition
Monthly SD brewery update: February saw no changes, but March has NINE additions and deletions to the list of breweries and tasting rooms. There are now 198 SD craft locations and 6 SD non-craft. From the available info, I predict an additional 29 locations by the end of 2019.
