San Diego craft beer tour with up to 15 tastings, brewery production visit, and sunset views near Belmont Park. 4.5 hours.
“we were on a kind of private tour with just us party of four. After a bit of a slow start, we had loads of fun. Maybe a good idea to drink a bit of water between the beers to neutralize the taste of the last beer, before drinking the next one. Do not underestimate the small glas sizes.”
