Del Mar Fairgrounds

In 1880, a group of San Diegans organized an agricultural fair to bring county farmers together to share ideas. After that first fair, the county fair has been held annually since 1946.

Lots of great beer. If you want to double up on the bracket (5 small beers don't go far), be sure you buy the second one early or you'll be stuck buying $9 beers. - loran jonak
