California is the birthplace of the American craft brewing movement and at the forefront of the industry’s growth. Today, more breweries call California home than any other state in the nation. With its long stretches of sandy shoreline and plenty of breweries spread across the county, San Diego is known as the craft beer capital of America. The city was named the Top Beer Town in America by Men’s Journal, and the New York Times has proclaimed that it ‘is rapidly becoming the country’s best craft beer scene’.
