We know you’ve been waiting for an article like this. San Diego is proud of its complex and meaningful relationship with beer. Breweries and local specialties have popped up all over the county, over 50 breweries, to be exact. Just as the professional brewing business on the Pacific Coast continues to boom, so does the steadfast home brewing culture of San Diego.
The oldest craft brewery in the area, post-prohibition, is the Karl Strauss Brewing Company, established in 1989, based on Bavarian brewing principles. The Karl Strauss Brewing Company looks forward to being open to the public early next year: watch this space. Stone Brewing Co offers beer tours several times daily, and apart from being closed on Christmas Day, tours are planned right through the festive period and are expected to sell out. Beer festivals are planned throughout the year on special occasions.
For a dark and malty winter ale, fitting for the Christmas season, try the AleSmith Brewing Company. Their seasonal specialty is known as the YuleSmith, available in both winter and summer varieties.
