Springtime Beers Recommended by Bay Area Brewers and Experts
The harbingers of a spring in San Francisco are coming: The St. Patrick’s Day Parade on Market, Hunky Jesus in Dolores Park, Big Wheel Races down Vermont Street, NCAA basketball chatter and plum blossoms everywhere you turn.
And, of course, beer.
Sample Local and Obscure Beer at Bay Area Brew Fest
Hope you’ve caught a breather after SF Beer Week and Strong Beer Month
because this Saturday afternoon, March 3, is the Bay Area Brew Fest at Fort Mason. This is the third year for the San Francisco event which is hosted by Eat.Drink.Play, a West Coast group that’s tucked a lot of beer-related event experience under its belt.
What SF Brewers Have on Tap for Strong Beer Month
Although we’re in the middle of SF Beer Week, we’re also near the midpoint of Strong Beer Month. To help you better plan your itineraries for both, it seemed like a good time to check in with the strong beer brewers to see how their supplies of the heavyweights are holding up.
Beers to Drink for Super Bowl XLVI
Although the 49ers didn’t make it to the Super Bowl this year, we fans can still drink like champions while we watch the game. Because as far as beer goes in San Francisco, there’s no contest: Who’s got it better than us? That’s right, Nobody!
Warm Yourself with Beer at Concord's Winter Brews Fest
On Saturday January 28, The Brewing Network will host its third annual Winter Brews Fest. The festival promotes local breweries, local businesses, and fresh craft beer with a particular emphasis on winter warmers.
Southern Pacific Brewery Readies For Its Debut
Chris Lawrence (former sales manager for Speakeasy) and Anthony LaVia (former owner of both Gestalt Haus and the Matador) partnered up to create Southern Pacific and brought Andy French (former brewer at Speakeasy) on board as brewmaster.
Local Beer Experts Holiday Party Brew Picks
There are too many craft beers to choose from, even when narrowing the choices down to just this season’s beers. So it’s a complicated yet still welcome dilemma to face: What beer to take to a holiday party?
Holiday Brews on Tap at California's Best Beer Bar
On Friday and Saturday, December 16 & 17, The Trappist in Oakland will be hosting their version of the Kerstbier Fest. The event is billed as offering the best assortment of Christmas beers outside of Belgium.
Where to Find Perfectly Poured Pints of Cask Ale
If the gray skies and cold temperatures at this time of year are reminding you more of foggy London than sunny California, embrace your inner beer-loving Brit and order a properly pulled pint of cask ale on your next pub visit.
Limited Release Brew at City Beer Store
If you’ve been looking for a good excuse to visit the recently expanded and re-opened City Beer store, your search is over. Next Friday, November 18 at 6 p.m., Almanac Beer Company is holding the bottle release event for their second and latest seasonal ale.
Almanac’s co-founders, Jesse Friedman and Damian Fagan, settled on a Belgian Farmhouse style ale to create this limited release brew: Almanac Autumn 2011 Farmhouse Pale with Organic Plums.
