If you live in San Diego (or will be visiting in the near future), the Stone Brewing Company offers free brewery tours. They are located in Escondido. You need to arrive early and pick up a pass from the brewery store. You can get the pass up to 2 hours in advance of the tour.

Thanks, Maria. I will be in San Diego this spring for the World Beer Cup and Craft Brewers Conference. What are your favorite places - both for beer and to visit?

Anyone else have favorite places in San Diego?

My dad used to own the Aero Club off the PCH in San Diego, and I loved going there.

Now I don't have a favorite pub in san diego. The Old Globe is nice enough (near the Aero Club). The sidewalk water holes in Mission Beach are fun.

I haven't been on the Stone beer tours. Usually when i head up that way i hit the wineries.
