While living in LA, we decided to spend our 3rd anniversary in San Diego, going to several different breweries. After we finally moved to San Diego, we compiled a bucket list of all the breweries to “check them off.” We had no idea how many more had opened, and the beer scene continues to grow each new day. Wish us luck!
