Hello! I’m Riho, a craft beer enthusiast.
On November 20, 2025, I visited SD TapRoom in San Diego’s Pacific Beach neighborhood. Founded in 2006 by brothers Kyle and Kevin Conover, this is one of San Diego’s longest-standing craft beer institutions. Their brewing arm — TapRoom Beer Company — produces award-winning beers including PB Haze (GABF 2023 Gold), operating under the philosophy of “Brewery to Glass” quality control.
SD TapRoom’s “PB Haze” won both GABF 2023 Gold AND Brewers Cup of California 2023 Gold — Hop! It’s a Hazy IPA (ABV 7%) using four popular hops: Citra, Motueka, Mosaic, and El Dorado — Hop! Google Maps rates it 4.6/5 with over 1,165 reviews, making it a top-rated spot across all platforms — Hop!
Pacific Beach is so close to the beach — Woof! 50 taps and a dog menu too — I could stay here all day — Woof!!

📖 History & “Brewery to Glass” Philosophy
SD TapRoom was founded in 2006 by San Diego-born brothers Kyle and Kevin Conover in Pacific Beach — one of the first establishments to bring the craft brewery-as-community-hub vision to San Diego before craft beer was mainstream. They operate under the philosophy of “Brewery to Glass,” managing every beer from the moment it leaves the brewery with meticulous care: cleaning lines after every keg, cold-storage of all products, and Cicerone-certified staff ensuring perfect pours.
In 2019, they brought in industry veteran Bill Batten (formerly AleSmith, Mikkeller) to establish “TapRoom Beer Company” in North Park. In 2022, former Mikkeller head brewer Daniel Cady joined, accelerating a serious barrel-aging program focused on world-class quality.
