It’s been a week since the tap lines have gone dry for San Francisco Beer Week. The Hapa’s crew has finally recovered enough to write about it even though we are no longer on speaking terms with our livers. In the ten days that made up the ode to beer we were able to attend seven glorious events.
Our first Beer Week adventure took us to Healthy Spirits for an exclusive bottle release of Ale Industries Someone Talked.
Later that night we paid a visit to our favorite brewpub in the city: Thirsty Bear for their cask beer and cheese pairing event. Local breweries supplied their fine cask conditioned ales to be paired with artisan cheeses and breads.
Our next two events found us in San Francisco’s SOMA district where we enjoyed a beer brunch at 21st Amendment and shot over to City Beer Store to visit with the brewers of Midnight Sun Brewing Co.
We got a chance to talk shop with Rev, the charismatic head brewer for Pizza Orgasmica, at a meet the brewer event at their Embarcadero Center location. After a couple pints and a couple slices it was off to the Mission for a Russian River tap takeover at Pi Bar.
Our last event led us to Public House located at the home of the San Francisco Giants: AT&T Park. Not your typical ballpark bar, Public House has a wide selection of excellent craft beer and for SF Beer Week they pulled out all the stops – hosting a tap takeover featuring Stone Brewing Co. and Bear Republic.
Overall an incredible week of craft beer. So many great options to explore the best of Local Bay Area breweries and beyond. Already looking forward to next year!
