Small net growth of 2% in San Diego craft breweries over 2017, but a whole lot of interesting detail and context led to that result. Check out my “SD Beer in 2018” post.
How many breweries in San Diego? December 2018 edition
Despite the sad closing of two Council Brewing locations, Acoustic Ales not having current production, and a scare for Benchmark Brewing, the opening of Double Peak Brewing in San Marcos and the start of contract-brewing-while-it-builds-out for Harland Brewing means San Diego craft beer saw only a net decrease of 1 brewery in December 2018.
Helia Brewing Co., Vista
Helia Brewing Co. has hit a home run with their lovely tasting room and excellent beer.

San Diego Beer Tour: East Village
Thinking about a San Diego beercation? Here for a conference and want to explore the famous San Diego craft beer scene? Here’s a beer tour of downtown’s East Village neighborhood, a hot spot where you’ll find 8 (soon ten) breweries and tasting rooms in 1.4 mile walk.
Melvin Brewing, East Village
Melvin’s large, elegant tasting room is excellent, and so is the beer.
Hodad's, East Village
You like burgers and beer. They sell burgers and beer.
Embarcadero Brewing Company, National City
Embarcadero Brewing in National City is also a home brew supply shop. The friendliness and expertise of the staff makes this a great place to go drink beer while you talk about beer. And the beer is good, too. #sdbeer #craftbeer
Oggi's Sports | Brewhouse | Pizza, Del Mar
Oggi’s has two new beers, and they are pretty good. This is my first visit to the original, Del Mar, location.
Attitude Brewing Company, Barrio Logan
A new Barrio Logan brewery with a beer hall vibe, fun graphical design, a multicultural approach and eventually a kitchen. Attitude Brewing makes a good addition to the Barrio Logan craft beer scene.
How many breweries in San Diego? November 2018 update
There are now TWO HUNDRED San Diego breweries and tasting rooms (including six non-craft breweries and one non-craft tasting room). Add to that the 14 non-San Diego craft brewpubs and…well, that’s a lot of beer. The net increase since last month is three, and the coming six weeks should see at least four new spots open.
Creative Creature Brewing Company, El Cajon
Just a few months old at the time I visited, Creative Creature Brewing has a small though nice set up. They join a fairly crowded craft beer landscape in La Mesa/El Cajon/Santee.
