The Best Breweries & Taprooms To Check Out In San Diego

Beer is one of America's favorite alcoholic beverages.

According to USA Today, Americans consume around 6.3 billion gallons of beer per year, which is 26.2 gallons per adult over 21.

San Diego has one of the best craft brewing scenes in the country.

According to Thrillist:

"That America’s Finest City loves its craft beeris not exactly news -- San Diego's played home to more than 150 operational breweries for a while now-- but as the town has matured, so too have the types of breweries popping around town and the tap lists they offer. It’s the dawning of a new era in San Diego beer, one marked by fledgling operations and relative up-and-comers brewing some of the best (and most audacious) beers in the country. It’s also marked, unfortunately, by the passing of some of the city’s traditional brewing stalwarts (pour some out for Escondido Brewing Company)."

According to Thrillist, these are the top 10 best breweries in San Diego:
