Ketchen, we visited San Diego last summer specifically for Stone. Their facility is incredible. We also tried and enjoyed Mother Earth Taproom, Lost Abbey/Port, and Belching Beaver. We really enjoyed the beer at all 3/4 locations. I won't be making it to NHC, but will check out your other suggestions the next time I'm out that way, which will hopefully be august 2016 for Stone's 20th anniversary!
