    Cheers everyone!

    Looking for a little of local insight. The wife and I have a trip coming up here in the beginning of April in San Diego. We are both foodies, and of course enjoy our brews.

    Any local favorites that we should make sure to check out?

    We're coming from the Buckeye state, so just wanted to have a few places planned out before hand.

    Appreciate the insight!

    Checkout @Xul's thread, that's a great place to start. I've been to San Diego a number of times and that's always where I start my planning.

    My general advice is if you're going to be driving (DD I mean) is to plot out your route in advance taking into consideration the open hours of the breweries. If you're not driving, I found Ubering to a cluster and walking is a good approach, especially if you're trying to offset some of the calories. There's a ton of breweries, and I've made the mistake before of getting over ambitious. Make yourself a list of the ones you definitely want and plan to go to, and have a secondary list handy in case plans change or you have more time than you planned for.

    I'm curious about this - did you find it particularly inconvenient here in San Diego? If so, why?

    Edit: Ignore my response, misread.

    @oldschool9 one place I love going is Ironside Fish and Oyster, I recommend the Clam Chowder fries. It is also walking distance to Ballast Points tasting room and Bottlecraft shop if you are looking to buy some beers to take home.

    I don't think you finished reading that sentence. He ubers to a cluster (of breweries) and then walks. Like ubering to 30th and then just walking up and down or to the vista section of breweries, get dropped off at one or in the middle at some random location and just walk between it all.

    I mentally inserted the word "be" as in "I found Ubering to be a cluster."

    Perhaps I shouldn't have skipped coffee this morning...
