BA Dark Star has been underwhelming in my experience, but Rusty Nail was amazing.

I thought the Fremont Brew 2000 I had at the last Barleywine Festival was phenomenal. Would love to come across a bottle of the 3000.

I’m totally cool with folks being uninterested. The more for me.

Anyone have the birria tacos from the new truck that’s parked around the corner from Beer Rev yet? They’re pretty damn good. Sad the pupusa truck isn’t around anymore, but happy that a legit taco spot is taking its place.

I remember being really excited to try their stuff because everyone hyped it up and really disappointed once I actually did.

Jeez you sound like me.

I totally forgot to post here, but the kinda-sorta-regular Golden Gate Park share is tomorrow. There is a thread about it, but just in case someone was sleeping on it, swing through.

So it looks like Fremont bottles are starting to hit SF. Plump Jack Noe got some bbomb (+ variants), kds, and rusty nail. Not sure what the B3K situation's looking like but I assume stores are getting those in as well and keeping them for in-store purchases or events.

Suggestions for spots for me to hit while I'm in the area in two weeks? I'll mainly be in Oakland. But, will be in SF too. Planning to hit Fieldwork, possibly cellarmaker, and Beer Revolution.

How long are you here, where specifically are you staying, do you have a car?

What side are you on when it comes to rice in burritos?

Check out Toronado if you have time, and Papalote at 24th and Valencia has great veggie burritos.

Glad to catch some of the Fremont on tap at the T. Coffee Dark Star was great. Brew 3000 is ******* gross.

Only in town Thurs to Monday. No car, but will be bouncing around Oakland on transit and lyft. Will be staying near 40th and San Pablo. In on rice burritos

IPA festival on Saturday in Hayward.

All those places you listed are rad too. Gilman, Fieldwork, Torpedo Room and Rare Barrel are real close together and BR ain't too far from Berkeley.

Death and Taxes cans are out again for those who are into that kinda thing. Still hoping they do Reality Czech at some point.

Any thoughts on bottleshops that might have good some stuff I can't find in the NW?
I am hoping to have time to hit Fieldwork and Rare Barrel.

You said you were planning on going to Beer Rev, right? Them and Good Hop are probably the two that are easiest to get to. If you're going into SF then there are more options but I don't know them.

Any chance you're going to Juicy Brews Westfest? https://www.eventbrite.com/e/hop-cu...sent-juicy-brews-westfest-tickets-54432707694

The beer list is pretty "I guess this is beer circa 2019, sigh" but it should be fun. Depending on how things shake out I may even have an extra ticket (depends on whether my FIL wants to go with me).

No just in the city for an impromptu birthday trip for the wife. I think the only thing beer centric on this trip planned will be a pint of Blind Pig at Toronado at some point.

I am looking for some suggestions for a brunch stop though???

Well, I am. A decent chunk of the Oakland crew is too, as you'd imagine.
