Description:

Uncover the flavors of frothy pints as you walk the streets of downtown San Diego with an expert guide. Stroll through a historic neighborhood to sample the crisp hops in a potent IPA, savor the smokiness of a porter, or try an innovative creation from one of the city’s most renowned brew masters.

Meet up with a beer-loving local in Little Italy and head to the first stop of your tasty tour. At Karl Strauss Brewing Company, grab cold glasses of beer like their Blackball Belgian IPA, made with Cascade and NZ Pacifica hops, or give one of their barrel-aged offerings a shot.

Between sips, listen to anecdotes about the development of this slice of San Diego’s waterfront, which was once a cramped collection of tuna canneries. Now, the Italian-American neighborhood is filled with trendy cafes and fantastic breweries, including your next destination, the Ballast Point Brewing Company.

Head inside check out the refreshing citrus notes of their Wahoo, an unfiltered wheat beer, or try a glass of their flagship pale ale, well-balanced and light. As you taste, chat with brewers and find out the secrets behind their perfectly crafted ales and lagers.

In addition to active breweries, you can also pay visits to area bottle shops, like Bottlecraft and the Stone Brewing Company store, where rare creations from domestic and international malt magicians make for perfect souvenirs.
