a while ago we had the big idea that it would be fun to open one Toronado and close the other Toronado on the same day. the jet is finally scheduled. Virgin America will take us to San Diego in time to open Toronado there and then return us back to San Francisco so we can close 547 Haight Street “the same day”.

here are the details if you want to ride along:

11/21 Virgin America
SFO – SAN (67) 10:50
SAN – SFO (969) 8:20

seats 17CD there 13CD back

The 21st Amendment is sponsoring a Beer Bus to the south bay breweries that we normally never get to. The cost for the entire trip is $120 which includes beer, food, and the bus for the entire day. Once you get on the bus you won’t have any other expenses. That is unless you buy a t-shirt at every stop! But who would do such a thing?

To get on the bus just stop by or call the 21A for a resevation. The number is 415-369-0900. Don’t wait because it will fill up.

If you’d like to get an idea of what the day might be like check out this video that the Brewing Network made during last years trip.

The Beer School crew is attending the Great American Beer Festival. We’re there for the whole thing so if you want to find for pictures, autographs or chatting about beer there’s plenty of time to find us.
