San Marcos

San Marcos, a North San Diego County city that's become a real craft brewery hub in recent years, backs that up directly in BarFinder's data - breweries lead the city's 44 venues, well ahead of wineries and sports bars. Real local spots like Mason Ale Works and Wild Barrel Brewing Company anchor that craft scene, while Sublime Alehouse covers the classic side. It's a North County San Diego scene built heavily around its brewery boom.
