Awesome, thanks for the heads' up for the bottle shops. After all the fuss about Pliny, I'll be happy to get my hands on one, finally! I may need to bring a second suit case...that or a box, lots of newspaper, and my company's FedEx billing code...

You'll have to get Pliney up in SF. I'm still waiting for it to show up here. Although when I stopped by the Pizza Port in San Clemente a week and a half ago for a growler refill, they had it on tap...
they had pliney at city beer last time i was there.

There are several places that have it in stock now man. I picked some up near my house last night. PM me if you are looking for some.

I think you need to check your directions. It's right by the Bay Bridge... in the city.

You're both right, there's three in the SF area, including San Jose and San Francisco.
The one I went to was in San Josey. We had an office dinner there. Too bad that was before I got into brewing.

You only need to eat at In-n-Out once a year because the heartburn lasts that long.
I prefer the original location in Palo Alto. After loading up on food and beer I wander across the street to Stanford and walk around the campus, it's quite scenic.

Are you serious? I hope not. Stanford is one of the ugliest campuses I've seen in CA. If you think Stanford is nice, you'll be blown away by the UC Santa Barbara campus and the Westmont campus (in Montecito). Heck, even UC Santa Cruz is prettier.
Anyway, the SF one is quite scenic too. It's right by the bay bridge, you can look out at Yerba Buena Island and Treasure Island, and you can wander up and down the warf.
he was probably checkin out the students

If you're checking out the students it's ALL about UCSB
Got to suggest zeitgist in sf. One of my favorite bars on the planet. Not much beer selection, but a great dive.

I met up with jmulligan this afternoon and dropped off some beer. Too bad we couldn't hang out with all that "work" and stuff. I PMed you but just in case anyone else cares, I didn't see it mentioned anywhere in the thread, but Firestone Walker Brewing is right on the drive a little more than half way between LA and SF off the 101. Worth a stop for anyone going through Paso Robles.

UPDATE
Headed back to Irvine/Newport Beach next week (arriving Wednesday 04/15, leaving Saturday morning 04/18).
I basically have one day to play (Wednesday). Taking previous suggestions that didn't get used last time and I plan to drive down to Escondido and catch a tour of Stone Brewing at 2 pm, and then catch Pizza Port for dinner on the way back to Newport Beach. I totally hate that whole eating-by-yourself thing, so I'll either do the "I'm reading a book and totally want to be here by myself" thing, or sit at the bar and hope someone nice sits nearby.
Either way, sunshine and beer, here I come!

Newport Beach for dinner? You've got to hit up the Yard House at Fashion Island.

Yeah, I actually went there last time - enjoyed myself, especially since my hotel that time was within walking distance! I am going to stop at Pizza Port for dinner this time.
