finally made it to SF. can't check into my hotel until 3, so I'm gonna hit a few random spots and look at **** for a few hours. my spot is five blocks from Toronado and I have a bottle of 2015 BA Flora Rustica and a can of Gigantic/Other Half Powder Green Tuxedo IPA if anyone wants to pregame before I meet BrandoSF and possibly Tlo4sho at Toronado around 5ish.

edit - heading to K&L for booze and hoping to be at Fieldworks in Berkeley around noon or a little after.

They serve little meat pies called pasties. Not huge, but pretty filling

Fieldwork does Tacos and stuff these days. The pasties are long gone I thought.

Take the ferry back to the city, if that's the way you're heading. Awesome view/trip and you can have a beer on it. About a mile walk from Faction.

Skipping cascades seems crazy, any reason? IMO their beers are incredible and incredibly expensive via bottle but reasonable on tap.

Unless they fixed Honey Ginger Lime, Cascade is not a top-5 Portland brewery right now.
