June brings with it the sunny season. Summer. When the climate’s just right for days spent sipping suds. The beer scene kicks into high gear with festivals and other outdoor imbibing events taking place on a nearly daily basis all across San Diego County. Check out some of these premier happenings then refer to our full list of local craft beer events.

June 4-7 | Council Brewing First Anniversary Festivities: They’re only a year old, but Council Brewing Company’s husband-wife team know how to party like they’re of age. Join them for four days of revelry at their tasting room, including a Tart Saison tap takeover, barrel-aged beer takeover, a new barrel-aged beer bottle release, the debut of two new sours and more. | Council Brewing Company, 7705 Convoy Court, Kearny Mesa, Times Vary

June 10 | 30 Years of Beer: Two venerable outfits, 20-year-old White Labs and the 10-years-young Brewing Network are combining their tenures and extensive lists of brewing industry friends to put on a beer festival featuring 30 breweries, live music from numerous acts (including The Brewing Network Band) and cuisine from a quintet of food trucks right on the San Diego Bayfront. | Port Pavilion (at Broadway Pier), 1000 North Harbor Drive, Downtown, 6 p.m.

June 19-21 | San Diego International Beer Festival: It’s named after America’s Finest City, but the San Diego County Fair’s annual homage to beer features brews from nearly 200 breweries spanning the entire globe. Throw in an awards competition, VIP brewers lounge and educational presentations, and it’s the best reason to head to Del Mar since kettle corn and tilt-a-whirls. | Del Mar Fairgrounds, 2260 Jimmy Durante Boulevard, Del Mar, Times Vary

June 20 | Mr. Padre 5.5K: Padres legend Tony Gwynn was famous for slapping balls through the gap between third base and shortstop. He called it the 5.5 hole, so the distance of this charity fun run raising money for the Tony and Alicia Gwynn Foundation and the construction of a Tony Gwynn museum at AleSmith’s future brewery and tasting room, is 5.5 kilometers. | AleSmith Brewing Company, 9990 AleSmith Court, Miramar, 8 a.m.

June 27 | Twisted Manzanita Fifth Anniversary: Not only is Santee’s first-ever brewery celebrating a half-decade in the beer biz in style, inviting fans and local bands out for a good time as they tap a slew of their beers, including the company’s first ever sour. They’re making it easy to take part, offering a shuttle from their pair of tasting rooms in East County and Pacific Beach. | SILO (at Makers Quarter), 753 15th Street, East Village, 4 p.m.
