San Diego’s craft brew industry is thriving and growing rapidly, according to a 2014 report by the National University System Institute for Policy Research.
The report estimated that, in 2013, the craft beer industry generated more than $500 million in direct economic impact in San Diego County, made $781.5 million in sales and employed 2,279 workers. More than half of the brewery licenses in the region have been issued since 2011, the report said.
