Brewing

Touted as the Craft Beer Capital of America, San Diego is home to more than 130 breweries and some 6,000 employees in the industry. One of San Diego’s most prominent business sectors, the $1.1 billion a year brewing industry wouldn’t be possible without safe and reliable water. At the same time, the region is also home to a burgeoning coffee industry with some two dozen local roasters and even a small but growing group of farmers growing coffee trees.
