We start our beer adventure with a chat about the local beer scene in San Diego and trek to our first stop which is Ballast Point Little Italy. This brewery is the third-largest producer of craft beer in San Diego County and one of a kind San Diego style! At Ballast Point, we will go do a behind the scenes tour of the facility including the basics to make beer and the different types of beer that it creates. Afterward, we will visit Bottle Craft Beer Shop which is a store dedicated to craft and worldwide beer. We will present special techniques and ways to evaluate beer and most importantly the essence of being a "beer geek". After exploring the sights of Little Italy, we will venture to one of the most famous spots to taste and savor San Diego Pizza.
