Okay, So I will fully admit I am too lazy to read 366 pages. I need all of your help.

If I have 1 day in SF on Nov. 23rd. Where do I go?
Will be driving in from Elk Grove. Will probably do Alcatraz as the only tourtisty thing before driving back.
Would probably try to hit Fieldwork in Berkeley as well.
Ready..........Set........Go.

Cheers!

Seconded. You may as well hit City Beer Store since its close by too. You may get to try some interesting locals on draft, and there MIGHT be some interesting bottles.

As mentioned, Cellarmaker is the answer. You should get tickets now for Alcatraz if you want to do it. The tours that actually drop you off at the island and not just go around it sell out well ahead of time. I've heard they have stand by, but that is a gamble.

They do, but you need to get in line at ~4am for the ticket window that opens at 8ish.

It's basically like going to any Monkish canned IPA release.

$30/bottle for Bear Republic?

$720 a year is totally reasonable for a beer club, you guys.

Chump change compared to just one FULL allocation from the Modern Times club

Oh right, forgot about the VIP (very immense penis) club. You can't afford not to join.

Well,that's pretty funny.

So people are bottle sharing while they wait? Sounds like a good time.

‘Twas the Beer Before Christmas is a blend of Old Baba Yaga, Tartare Noir, Tartare Apricot and “Epic”, huge brown ale. It gets its peanut butter roast malt character, dried apricot dustiness, clean tartness from a battle royale of house yeast and adopted critters. The base beers have additions of licorice, dried apricots and peaches and have been barrel aged for up to 28 months, resulting in a reddish-black colored ale.

OK, this one seems like a joke.

Goat Rock Funk is created with a spontaneous ferment starter from Goat Rock Beach on the Sonoma Coast. This process allows the natural yeasts in that area to provide a unique flavor drived from this particular "terroir". We have a series of four terroir diven beers that will be released over the first 4 VIP club shipments. This starter is added to the wort in a single neutral reused wine barrel and then fermented. The natural yeasts and unique barrel creates an enjoyable wild ale that has lemon-lime tartness, citrus and pineapple notes, with a fruity and estery nose. A briny, gose-like, pale yellow ale with a woody tannic backbone and a slight dairy finish create a unique flavor experience.

In case folks are living under a rock, check out the TB share thread for a share this Sunday in GG Park.

 

[AndresR]

I might hit Beer Rev near 6pm to try the SN Trip in Woods taps they'll have flowing.

 

[Tlo4sho]

I think there might be a last min share in GGP today. BrandoSF who threw that idea out there again?

Yeah that was me. We're still figuring out deets, around 3 pm.

What's central - where would you be coming from Tlo4sho


Edit: BrandoSF suggests conservatory of flowers at 3, I'm down.

Should work for me. Work is a little crazy still. I'm a maybe, but the location is solid.

 

[BigToad22]

Spoiler alert, bringing some cherries.

Make sure you get the Meetup name tag when you go in. You'll get a discount on the pours. Using your real name is highly discouraged.

 

[coldstorage]

Currently weighing desire to try prop vs desire to avoid a "meet up". Gonna be a long night.
