Bay Area Brew Fest

Saturday, January 11th: YOU GUYS!!! Bay Area Brew Fest is back and you can still get tickets! Get them now or forever be upset while your friends post amazing photos on Facebook that they will likely take down the next day!

The Rare Barrel

Saturday, January 11th: Have you ever had a sour beer? One that was supposed to be sour? Well, not only are they delicious, but they're incredibly difficult to make/find. Luckily though, there's a new brewery with a tasting room that just launched in Berkeley fittingly called The Rare Barrel. Go test them out and get ready to pucker up. 

Wednesday, January 22nd: Okay, okay, we know this is a ways out, but The Abbot's Cellar and Dogfishhead (you know, the one with the 90 Minute IPA) are doing a tasting dinner with the founder and brewmaster, who has chosen beers from his private cellar (ya know, ones that the public pretty much can't get). Also, one of the courses is a dry-aged bison ribeye. Get a reservation now because they're almost booked!
