What San Diego's weather means for breweries
Patio weather in San Diego rarely breaks: the warmest month, August, averages a high of 82°F and the coolest, January, 67°F, so tees and caps sell in every month. Evenings cool off a little, with December lows averaging 45°F, so a light hoodie or crewneck covers the patio after sundown and doubles as a holiday gift. Spring and fall both feel like patio season here, so release dates can follow the brewing calendar rather than the weather. At around 11 inches of rain a year, a merch table on the patio needs shade far more often than a rain cover.
