My flight is booked, I'll be drinking beer all over San Francisco from 2/11 through 2/15. Who wants to open some bottles?

Will you drink my Stone IRS and Lagunitas Gnarlywine? If so, I'm in.

 

[axeman91821]

Me! I owe you for that Night to end all Dawns.

I'll have to bring out the rest of the set.

 

[snuffy707]

I'm going to stop by Cellarmaker around 5pm for that Dobis cask (hopefully they tap it by then) on my way to the bottle share if anyone wants to meet up. Coming from the East Bay as well if anyone wants to share an uber over to Ryan's.

Anybody know of any good SF Beer Week Events between 2/11 and 2/14?

Sau & Brau @ Drake's on the 11th is one of the best events of the week.

I'll be at Rare Barrel today @3pm and Cellarmaker around 6pm today if anyone wants to meet up. I'm the Asian guy with the blue/orange sneakers.

I will be at Cellarmaker

Cellarmaker during beer week will probably also be a shitshow.

No way it's as bad, though.

Weekend is here. Let's get foked up.

All of beer week will probably also be a shitshow.

It's been bad for years. I'm definitely going to some events at Harry's though. They're woefully underattended -- it bums me out on one hand, since I think it's a great place, but on the other hand, I can relax without having to wait in line and powerbomb people just to get to the bar.

Come to Livermore for Scarcity at Altamont. Should be out for beer week.

It should be on at Harry's too, but I'll make it out to Livermore as well. I need some tacos...

Anybody at Drakes today? Curious about the crowd and line situation. Planning on stopping by around 3:30pm to grab some black label bottles on my way over to faction for the evening, but not sure how long it will take to get bottles once at drakes.

Drake's posted on IG the first person was in line at 3:30 am

Where would you rather be at 3:30 am than a parking lot outside a closed factory in San Leandro? You literally can't think of any.

Jesus Christ. It's not like the beer is greatest in the world. I was just hoping to swing by real quick and grab some bottles to go. If there is a wait, I am passing.

Hopefully all the early birds get passed out drunk and the line dissipates, but ****, not looking likely given that there was an actual line way too early for this beer.

 

[Arbitrator]

Drake's the type of homie to warn people not to show up? Am I doing it right?

I enjoy Hopocalypse. I thought about going, saw the post about the line, then said **** it, I'll drink some Hair of the Dog at home.

I have the sneaking suspicion there will still be some beer left during the week. Call it a hunch.

I hear it was only a bad line if you wanted Black Label, which, you know, no one should.

Yeah, I looked up my Untappd rating for Black Label at 11 am, and that was the clincher. I'm not waiting in line for a syrupy 2.5-star beer.

I decided **** it and stopped in on my way to faction. Just left Drakes. Got myself 4 bottles of black label since my homie hates IPA. Got there at 3:30pm, no line, not a **** how, and very chill.

The beer was pretty damn good, especially for $12 a bottle. A lot better than last year. The white label is great too, I'll be buying bottles on shelves for a good month.

Heading to faction now to chill with a view and some winter IPA, love that ****.

I just gave away everyone's secrets again.

Just booked a trip to San Francisco on the 18th. Didn't realize it was beer week! Any suggestions on events or activities I should try to hit? (Or stuff to avoid)

Edit; Oh wait looks like it ends right before then. Nuts.

You're actually going to just barely miss Beer Week, which wraps up on the 15th. Should be good barleywine fest leftovers at Toronado, likely good leftovers at City Beer and Cellarmaker, too.

You will be in SF for the beer week hangover. Hit up the local spots, and you will have a decent time.
