http://bestdamnbeershop.com/ http://beverages4lessinc.com/ http://knbwinecellars.com/ http://www.olivetreemarket.com/beer_list.php There's probably more, it's been a few years since I've lived there, but I still visit a couple of times a year. If you have time to sit and drink/eat: Pizza Port (I prefer Ocean Beach), Blind Lady Ale House, Societe', Churchill's and O'Brien's are worth a stop. **Alpine Brewing is only a 30 minute drive.
Just go to Alpine and enjoy some of the best IPA's around! Was there on Sunday and experiences Nelson, Duet, Magnificent 7 and Pure!
Costa Mesa bottle shops: Hi times, total wine, and whole foods all have great selections. Also, you are within a 15 minute drive of some incredible gastropubs with amazing tap/bottle selections (for OC anyway), and phenomenal food. Make sure to hit up: Chapter One: the Modern Local Haven (Orange) The Playground The Crowbar 5 Crowns Dublin 4
It was amazing! My buddy and I were hoping that it would tap though so they could put the keg of Keen Idea out.
Ill be staying in Cardiff/Encinitas area while im in San Diego....I thought I remember there being a killer bottle shop off the Santa Fe exit???
