The goal of the Beerucation Tour is to dive deep into San Diego’s beer world trying a multitude of different styles, from a multitude of different breweries.

-Walk into 3-4 local craft breweries and get a chance to taste and learn about a variety of different beer styles, the brewing process, food and beer pairing and what it takes to start a successful brewery
-Learn how to pair beer with food while munching on some delicious snacks
-Learn about a neighborhood that went from an area filled with street cars to a land of hipsters and famous restaurants

Must do experience in San Diego!!!
Hands down the best beer tour I've ever been on! The selection of breweries was top-notch, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide. Their knowledge, energy, and passion for craft beer were unmatched—they made every stop engaging and fun. From behind-the-scenes insights to perfect beer recommendations, they went above and beyond to ensure we had an amazing time. If you're looking for a beer tour with great brews and an even better guide, this is the one!

Just a So So beer tour!
Only 3 stops and beer only at the first stop. Too much beer at first stop. All of us were very hungry by second stop. Tour guide talked too much and more about him! Very self-centered person, plus he was late for start of the tour.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback. We sincerely apologize that the guide was a couple of minutes late. However, unforeseen circumstances can occasionally arise, and the guide did inform you well over an hour in advance of the adjusted arrival time.
Regarding the tour itself, this was a beer tour, and the full itinerary was clearly explained before the tour began. The number of tastings were the same at the first two stops, and since this is a beer-focused experience, an ample number of tastings is part of the tour’s design.
Lastly, our guides are there to educate, engage, and create a personal connection with guests by sharing relevant insights, including personal experiences that enhance the discussion of flavors, food pairings, and beer culture. We’re sorry to hear the experience did not meet your expectations, but it seems this may not have been the right tour for what you were looking for.
We appreciate your feedback and wish you the best in your future experiences.

Amazing outing!
We visited 3 different places in North park where each time we tasted 4 different beers, snack was provided, mainly cheese…but I would suggested to eat something on the side ;-) The guide was knowledgeable and friendly, we had a great time!
