Going to San Diego in a couple of weeks. Besides Modern Times are there a few other GREAT ones? I know there are a ton out there, just not which are better than others. Thanks for any recommendations.

Stone Liberty Station is a cool spot. All the Stone beers on tap plus a few dozen others, Pliny was on tap when I was there a few years ago.. Nice outdoor gardens, patio, bocce court.

there are a bunch of good ones, including green flash, ale smith, mikkeller, and more, all clustered in mira mesa. you could spend the whole day in that area and still not hit all the breweries and tap rooms there.

stone is a go-to, but is a bit further afield in north county (in escondido). unless there is one in town now? but just google map the area around mcas miramar (yes, top gun miramar) and you'll see a ton of breweries.
