Complete Guide to San Diego Breweries

Gift giving for the dudes on my Christmas list is a challenge. My husband is a minimalist, so anytime I ask him what he wants for Christmas he shrugs and says, "Nothing." While he acts indifferent, the truth is my man loves a thoughtful gift. A few years ago I visited a couple of his favorite breweries and purchased different pint glasses and t-shirts from each one along with specialty beers to put together a custom twelve pack. He loved it and still refers to it as the best gift he’s ever received. For those of you struggling with what to get the men in your life, I have compiled a local shopping guide that will please even the pickiest of dudes.

With your purchase you’ll receive two pairs of Wayfarers and one pair of aviators with polarized lenses. Each pair comes with a Knockaround case. Also included is a "gold brick" piggy bank.

For beer lovers, you can go with the Reader's very own Brandon Hernández’s 2014/2015 Complete Guide to San Diego Breweries. Purchase the book in paperback for $11.99. The recently updated book covers 130-plus brewing company-owned public venues in San Diego County.
