I lived in San Diego and those are excellent choices. If you don't like dogs, don't go to Hamilton's. If you are a home brewer, check out the White Labs tour as well.

It's a little small for that list, but I'd throw a major shout out to The Courtyard & Cellar in Decorah. Really impressive selection of beers for a town that small, and they hardly lean on TG or Pulpit to get it done.
