Societe Brewing Company

"Though it’s been around since 2012, San Diego’s Societe isn’t as well-known as some of the bigger breweries in town (Ballast Point, Belching Beaver, Pizza Port). They do, however, make some tremendous, straightforward beer, like The Butcher, a classic, deeply malty Russian imperial stout, and The Pupil, a fantastically clean-tasting, citrus-forward American IPA. Once you’ve picked up your beers to-go here, head over to We haven’t been here yet, but want you to know this spot exists." - Team Infatuation

"Many locals will tell you that this place is known for brewing some choice IPAs. And it's probably their attention to detail and dedication to consistency that makes their brews so good. This brewery has a fully equipped tasting room and brewery tours, and will even fill up a growler for you to take home." - Travel + Leisure Editors
