san francisco

ooooh, this sounds like the beer store i need to visit in san francisco this coming weekend
city beer store on folsom street
check out that beer list!

and it looks like i might get a brewery tour at 21st amendment
i'll be at the pub/brewery on thursday afternoon!
(thought i'd kill the bit of time i have been arriving and my friend getting off work imbibing the back in black, hop crisis and over hopulation, all of which are on tap today... hopefully still on thursday!)

"Hi Rebecca,

Thanks for your note. Because we are a full service restaurant, there is always a brewer or a manger available that can potentially give small groups brewery tours. We often do impromptu tours provided we are not too busy--mid-afternoon is a good time for this.
I recommend you call ahead to the pub to set up a time for a guaranteed tour.
Their phone number is (415) 369-0900
Thanks for thinking of us and Cheers!

Craft Beer in a can.
Better for the beer.
Better for the environment."

doh!  my hopes went up, my hopes crash down...

"Hi Rebecca,

We show the brewery off before Beer School, a tasting event we run, but you just missed it. You can get a pretty good view of the brewery from a special window we have, but we do not open it up to the public when the Giants are in town. Just to warn you, Thursday is actually an early game day so it will be slammed that day.
Cheers!

Head Brewer
21st-Amendment Brewery"
oh well, hopefully i'll still get to try the taps...
