finally, post #2 about my afternoon at 21st amendment brewery in san francisco i mean, it was only two weeks ago now... let's talk about the beers! they have a couple of different menus within the restaurant, one for the beer garden (all cans and kegs served into plastic cups) the main bar, and one for the loft bar main bar menu loft menu beer garden menu i began with a wee taster of the hell or high watermelon wheat ale (4.9%, 17 ibus) as i am not a big wheat fan in fact i think like most of us i am somewhat wheat intolerant crisp, watermelon notes are right on... not too much but definitely enough there to make you feel like summer i can see why this one is such a huge seller for them i also had a taster of my server's favourite, the old glory red ale (7.3%, 70 ibus) made me want a pint of it though, it is a total pleaser hoppy, just dark enough to keep it interesting my plan of attack though was to work my way through the ipas so i decided that ...

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...
