San Diego, which is known for its residents’ passion for craft beer, has well over 100 breweries in the county. Many of the local craft breweries started as a hobby for the brewmaster and have grown into much larger operations. With home brewing legal in California, all a passionate beer enthusiast needs to try his or her hand at the craft is the right equipment and a little education. With multiple home brewing clubs and competitions throughout the county, it’s easy to immerse yourself in San Diego’s beer culture.
If you want to get in on the action, one home brewing supply store to consider visiting is Carlsbad Brew Supply, located in San Diego suburb of Carlsbad, CA.

As you browse through the store, the friendly staff members will help you select the malts, grains, hops, yeasts, and other supplies you need to complete every step of the brewing process.
