I went there a month ago. I'm happy I went to Alesmith. They had a few variants of Speedway, some decent to-go beers (I got a barrel aged speedway bottle, a couple of one-off variants, and a bottle of one of their coffee non-barrel aged variants). The space is also nice and has a nice Tony Gwynn museum/exhibit that is pretty cool to spend 10-15 minutes on if you're into baseball. But it's out of the city, so you have to plan that since their best beers are their stouts imo.
We didn't end up hitting up Modern Times or the SD Mikeller because family, but those seem like musts.
Other things: There's a Bottlecraft in Little Italy which is a bottle shop with also about 20 taps. They had some pretty intriguing taps and some pretty killer bottles. They had bottles of 3F Hommage, A&G, and Kriek to go, which is unheard of where I live (Madison). I got the second two and I think something else.
If you live in a land locked area, one place I enjoyed a good amount is Wonderland. The beers aren't great, but it overlooks the Pacific and their Pescadero Sampler (food) I found to be pretty good. That's in Ocean Beach, where there's a Pizza Port and Modern Times as well.
