Can't wait! Maybe most excited for Riwakan, but the others are variants on already great beers that are never around for long enough.

Edit: Which means I'm happy on all of them.

 

[gregkoko]

Two weeks late for that. Sad feels

 

[johnnyramirez]

So I'm trying to lock it up early for the sake of being able to make plans, but if anyone has an extra Eclipse party ticket. I can offer over face value or can offer face value plus some thank you beers(Crooked Stave Cellar Reserve stuff, Blend Love,some Bruery stuff or something similar and definitely out of distro).

Any rumblings on the Cable Car release? It's pretty much October

Have you heard anything yet?

So amped! Killer lineup

 

[tx_beer_man]

Pacificos, I'll be in SF for the 21-24 for a conference. I plan to hit up SARA on Friday for opening until my red eye flight. Any tips/things to be aware of? Also, anyone need any JK beers / IP trades?

Friday traffic down 17 to Sante sucks and starts early, so plan on heading down and grabbing lunch at burger. or Aptos St BBQ if you can.

Nice, thanks for the tips!

 

[tx_beer_man]

Scratch that! SARA looking too far for the time. Will be trying out either of Rare Barrel or Almanac.

 

[buzzword]

almanac doesn't have a taproom, but plenty of places around town have it on draft. rare barrel is fun tho, and it's walkable from BART.

Unless things have changed, Almanac does not have a tasting room.

 

[tx_beer_man]

Yeah, went looking for tasting room hours and just found that. Oh well, I'll be hitting the bars for some!

Anyone know of a reliable place to get the sours? I usually see their IPAs/saisons/so-so stuff fairly regularly, but I hardly ever see the Farmer's Reserve stuff.

Harry's Hofbrau (redwood city) usually has their bottles for purchase. In house or take home I think

True, bottles aren't too hard to find.

We don't actually have bars here. You'll have to wring some beer out of a wet rag.

Also, I think that Rare Barrel is kinda long for walking distance. I mean, you can totally do it if you really have to, but I don't think it's worth an hour round trip walk (at least, I've only biked it) when there are so many bars in reasonable walking distance from BART.

Interesting! Thanks stupac2. I'll definitely hit the wet rag dispensaries too, but I plan on using the BART to Rare Barrel. I make it to SF once to twice a year and am pretty comfortable with it.

It's probably a 30 minute walk from BART.

If you haven't been to Cellarmaker, it's just as, if not more so, worth your time to go to, and a lot easier to reach.

Just come to toronado

 

[tx_beer_man]

Just come to toronado

Oh definitely. Got my Wednesday early afternoon set for there, then to Cellarmaker and City Beer Store. Friday, I'll be scrapping the last few conference items and hitting that BART for Rare Barrel to get there for opening!

 

[jtmartino1]

Cellarmaker and City Beer > Rare Barrel in my book.

Also, embrace Uber around here. No need to walk 30 minutes when you can take a $5 uber ride.

Oh yeah, always using Uber in SF! Flywheel, eh? Cheaper?

Flywheel uses real taxis only, so the insurance coverage is legit and the fare is always predictable, unlike Uber's horrendous surge prying nonsense. You pay the fare + $1 + whatever you set as your tip.

Surge charging is actually the way things should work. When demands spikes prices should spike too so that you don't get scarcity.

Man, cabs are the worst though. I'll chance it with Uber or Lyft any day. Generally cheaper (and surge pricing is something they tell you about ahead of time), way cleaner/nicer cars, nicer drivers, no direct payment (the only part Flywheel seems to fix).
