Holy shnikeys it is almost Beer Week in SF! There are just so many things I want to go to. There are a ton of beer dinners – i.e. menus with beer pairings – but those are expensive, and I like trying to pair beers on my own, even though I’m not very good at it yet.
Here are some events that look good:
- Beer Cocktails and Late Night Beer Happy Hour at Alembic – all beer week.
- Humphry Slocombe Beer Ice Creams – all beer week.
- SFBW’10 Scavenger Hunt (!!!) – all beer week.
- Organic Vegan Beer Dinner: Bison Brewing Co. at Millennium Restaurant -2/5-7.
- Beer to Brakers – woohoo! This Saturday, 2/6. I am most definitely doing this.
- Brewery Night: New Belgium Brewing Co. at The Toronado on 2/6. Don’t scoff, serious beer geeks – New Belgium will always have a special place in my heart, because you can send free postcards from their brewery in Fort Collins. My dad and I sent my mom 8, drunkenly.
- Mini Firkin Festival – Magnolia Gastropub & Brewery, 2/9. 12 cask conditioned beers!
- “A Night Without Hops” with Brian Hunt (Moonlight Brewing Company) – The Monk’s Kettle. Mike “IPA Lover” G. would never go to this with me.
- Bavarian Beer Breakfast – Gordon Biersch San Francisco 2/12. Tempting, though not the best idea.
I just got overwhelmed and skimmed the rest, but there is much there. Beerbeerbeerbeerbeer!
