Welcome to San Diego, the new beer capital of the United States. San Diego is encountering a

pioneer. We will safely drive you to the central San Diego North County breweries with a vehicle
that can accommodate the group size. We will visit a selection of 3 of the best breweries in San
Diego. We will do at least one behind the scene visit (Lost Abbey, Green Flash, or Ballast
Point). At each stop, you will be explained the steps on how the beer is produced and our
experimented tour guide will give you an introduction about the hops that make all the craft beer
so special. We will end our visit in a Micro Brewery and enjoy their cozy tasting room. (Rough
Draft, Indian Joe or Coronado brewery) We very are likely to do a surprise stop on the way (if
the time permits). At each stop, you will be served a Brew master’s selection of their finest craft
beer. Food is usually available at most of our stops.
