San Diego: Suds on Sunny Shores<\/strong><\/h2>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

What better way to explore San Diego\u2019s beer-friendly shores than with a sunset tour of the city\u2019s award-winning breweries. Team up with an ale aficionado to go behind-the-scenes at craft breweries in Mission Beach and Ocean Beach<\/a>, capping off your night with a sunset walk on the shore near Belmont Park.
