The best breweries in San Diego has changed over time. San Diego used to pride itself as the Craft Beer Capital of the United States and then every other city in the United States started focusing on craft beer. That being said, with the breweries popping up these days, we think the city can still make that claim.

While the old giants like Stone and Ballast Point have been sold off to larger entities, there are plenty of locally-run breweries in San Diego that continue the path that those early trailblazers started. While the West Coast IPA dominates the scene, you will still find breweries doing everything from European beers to Murky IPAs, and doing it all well. Below is a list of the best craft beer creators San Diego has to offer, though the list is far from complete. We will update regularly.
