This well-designed tasting room in the graduate student housing complex at UCSD has an awesome patio and even a pool. Maybe I should go back to school…

Review number 200! Council Brewing’s second brewery and tasting room has been open in Santee for not quite half a year now. It is a pleasant, relaxed spot to pick up some great #localbeer #craftbeer #sdbeer.
How Many Breweries in San Diego? September 2018 Update
Since my August update, one brewery closed and two breweries opened. One tasting room closed, and one tasting room opened. I also added one tasting room to the list that has been open for ages, I just had forgotten to include it till now. San Diego has a total of 157 breweries plus 38 tasting rooms and 14 non-San Diego craft brewpubs for a total of 209 locations, a net increase of two over last month.

Amplified Ale Works, East Village (E-Vil)
Amplified E-Vil is going to be a VERY popular place: #craftbeer, food, coffee, full bar, open early and late, ambience, service, location…all excellent. This might be the new "place to beat" in downtown San Diego.
More on Craft Beer Closures in San Diego
Thirty #craftbeer locations have closed in #SanDiego since the beginning of 2016. All but ten have or will likely reopen under a new name/owner, so the “real” closure rate is only about 3.6 closures per year. Out of the 190+ craft beer locations in San Diego, that’s not very many at all.
California Wild Ales, Sorrento Valley
California Wild Ales is a blendery that focuses exclusively on barrel-aged “wild” and sour beers. The owners take turns behind the bar, and they are so enthusiastic that this is a “must” experience for any #craftbeer lover. #sdbeer
