Description
Step off the beaten path and discover the city’s best-kept secrets on this guided beer walking tour. Over the course of three tucked-away stops, you’ll taste 8 unique beers that showcase the area’s brewing creativity—ranging from crisp lagers to bold, hoppy IPAs and rich seasonal specialties.
At one stop, you’ll even get to pour your own pint (yep, you’re the bartender now). And because great beer deserves great food, our second stop includes a taco of your choice to keep you fueled for the rest of the tastings!
Each stop has its own vibe, its own flavors, and its own stories—making this the perfect way to sip, snack, and explore a few hidden gems with friends.
At the end of the tour your guides will provide recommendations of other great places to try beer in San Diego. We are local to the area and can offer other suggestions as well! This tour is great for beer lovers both visiting San Diego or locals looking to get out and have some fun!

Chris and Kristina’s Beer tour and more!
Each venue was unique and the beer pours were generous and delicious! The tour was a very easy walk and our tour guides were exceptionally knowledgeable about San Diego. By the time our tour ended and based on the guide’s recommendations, we not only had a great beer tour, we also had a plan in place for other things to do and places to visit for the remainder of our visit.
I would highly recommend any tour that Chris and Kristina offer!

This was an awesome experience with a good amount of beer tastings. We really like all of the variety at the first stop and it was conveniently located right by the Amtrak station. The taco was delicious! Highly recommend!
