Good Beer in Oakland CA area?

[BigTuna]

I'll be spending about 2 weeks during the middle of July in the Oakland/Alameda area and would like to know what the good beer spots are. Ie. Package stores / pubs / brew pubs / breweries. I know of Anchor Steam but I'm pretty sure they're booked solid. Anyway, any suggestions will help.

Cheers!
Kevin
