you know that sometimes the only way to get that cool glass or plate is to appropriate it by appropriation. and while the five finger discount seems like a good idea 5 pints into the night there are better ways to acquire loot. like at the Rogue Ales Public House Presidents day(s) garage sale. okay, so we don’t they don’t really have a garage but they do have a sale.

you cannot go to every single event. don’t even try. by the time this happens there will be over 250. decide what you think is the most fun you can have and do that. you will look at the list with the idea of all of this sounds fun. but the reality is that time will be your limiting factor.

Stu Stuart has a bunch of trips planned that will take you to all over the country of Belgium. some of the trips are centered around a festival like Zythos or Essen Christmas Beer Festival.

Join us at 5PM on Monday February 1 for the release of Beer School the beer. it’s pouring at 21st Amendment on 563 2nd St (between Brannon and Bryant) in San Francisco.

because there isn’t anything happening before SF beer week you might be interested in this Sunday afternoon event being held at Ace’s located in the Tenderknob. join the regulars in choosing the best homemade Chili in their 4th annual event. and if the chili doesn’t fill you up there will be free BBQ to go with that.

nothing can prepare you for a week long event in your own city that is the likes of San Francisco Beer Week. it’s starts with a party in the shape of a beer festival and ends exactly the same way 9 days later. that’s right, it’s so big that the week has to have one more day then that Beatles song.

we’re celebrating Motors B-Day by recording it. anyone can come. kids are welcome. leave the woofs and kitties at home.

we’ve been going to the Toronado on the Night Before for years. but it wasn’t until last year that we decided to make a night of nights of it. the idea is simple. bring some food. drink beers with bows on them. that’s it. everyone shares the night.

don’t like holiday because you don’t take sides with an invisible man but don’t want to be left out of the fun? join us for Festivus. it’s for the rest of us!

every first Saturday in November is Teach a Friend to Homebrew day. events were happening all around the country. it’s a good reason to be outside. besides drinking beer, and watching football we brewed ten gallons of beer with Richard from Elizabeth Street Brewing. lots of people showed up bringing more beer, some food and an appetite to learn about making beer. what they learn is that it’s a all day in the backyard experience.
