Bar exam
Not long ago, every bar was a “beer bar.” They all poured Bud, right?
But then came microbrews, craft brews, home-brews, Belgian brews and other exotica. Beer became more complex and rewarding — as did the joints dispensing the stuff.
For years, craft beer aficionados have consistently ranked O'Brien's, a Kearny Mesa pub, among the nation's best beer bars. But that hallowed institution is no longer alone. Savvy malt-and-hop establishments have been opening across the county at a rapid clip. Each has its own personality and offerings; all bolster San Diego's position as a rising star among American cities on the “beer tourism” circuit.
