SAN DIEGO (KGTV) — Craft beer has a special hold on San Diego, not just locally but internationally as well.
Which it's no surprise the region uses more than a week every year to celebrate the contributions brewers have made to San Diego.
From Nov. 2 - 11, local craft beer fans can visit participating restaurants, bars, and breweries for special beer releases and events highlighting why San Diego is considered the capital of craft beer.
