Questions people ask

How many breweries are in San Diego?

80 breweries are listed as open inside the San Diego city limits on Open Brewery DB as of Oct 2026: 45 microbreweries, 23 brewpubs, 6 large breweries, 5 regional breweries, 1 contract brewery. That is 5.7 per 100,000 residents.

What is the difference between a brewpub and a microbrewery?

A brewpub brews on site and serves its own beer with food, so it is the easier place to work from or meet people. A microbrewery is a small production brewery, usually with a taproom but not always a kitchen. Regional and large breweries ship beer well beyond the city.

Are breweries in the suburbs of San Diego counted?

No. The list only includes breweries whose address is inside the city of San Diego, so nearby towns are left out. Open Brewery DB is kept by volunteers, so a new brewery may be missing and a recently closed one may still appear.
