I'm from San Francisco and live in Europe now and I have a few beer enthusiast friends who want me to bring something back when I go home for vacation this summer. I'd like to bring something that would be hard to find in Europe. Any ideas? I've already got Pliny on my list!
Bay area beer to bring back to Europe

I would guess that almost any craft beer from the US would be hard to find in Europe.
I would think Anchor Steam Beer would be a good choice just for the fact that it is one of the few true American Beer Styles.
Take some Green Flash so they know what a Hop Bomb tastes like.
Some of the Sour/Wild Ales from Russian River.
Pliny is good also considering that it is a rare beer for most people in the US.
You don't have to go way out there either. Something like Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or one of their IPA's is a good example of American Hops.

Pliny - definitely. Although not in San Francisco, it's close by European standards - Stone offers quite a variety in easy to share 22oz bottles.
Get some drakes beers. Guaranteed they're not getting those, and a true bay area treat. Most any local craft beer at City Beer will be a good choice.

The latest in the Stone Enjoy-By series might be a good option if the timing is good for you. Even if the beer is available in Europe, you can probably get it there fresher than the distribution network.
