Our Favorite San Diego Craft Beers to Pair With Food

It’s no secret that San Diego has become the craft beer capitol of the world over the last ten years. The city boasts over 140 breweries and visiting a brewery (or breweries) over the weekend has been a common activity for San Diego residents.

Almost every local grocery store and liquor store has huge selections of San Diego craft beers. It’s like Napa for beer! So, we  decided to put together a list of different types of beer and food pairings to highlight San Diego beers, just for our residents at Pulse Millenia, Skye, Westbrook Apartments and Alterra at Grossmont Trolley.
