3 Best Sights in San Diego, California

AleSmith Brewing Co.

With one of the largest tasting rooms in San Diego, this artisanal microbrewery offers tastings at its out-of-the-way locale in the Miramar area. Try the special edition of AleSmith's popular Speedway Stout brewed with Madagascar vanilla and a dark espresso. The tasting room is open to visitors daily 11 am–10 pm.

Border X Brewing

Barrio Logan's first local craft brewery, Border X has a tap list full of brews inspired by Mexican recipes such as the Jamaica-like Blood Saison (with hibiscus) and Abuelita's Chocolate Stout, featuring cocoa and cinnamon flavors. The taproom is lively most weekends, with sounds of cumbia music soundtracking the revelry. Border X also serves tacos, which always pair well with a refreshing lager.

Eppig Brewing Waterfront Biergarten

Point Loma

Overlooking the San Diego Bay and a nearby marina, this German-inspired brewery is quite possibly one of San Diego's most scenic. Expect a diverse spread of lagers, pilsners, ales, sours, and stouts that can be sampled as a draft or taster flight. Time your visit so you can watch the sunset over the water with a beer in hand.
