going to the fest and hanging in San Francisco a few days, little lege protection if nothing else. Anything new that is worth a visit in the Bay area?

I might be in town during that time, not sure yet. This thread has some pretty good suggestions

Not quite in SF, but Cooperage a little north is new and pretty dialed in already.
I love love love Fieldwork and Rare Barrel in Berkeley.

I may have some freetime during that spread. Will you have a car?

So talking to someone, Michael I think, at Firestone Walker tap house last night, works at Thirsty bear brewing as a Brewer,
1) says they have recently gotten a bit more open to other beers than thengerman style I remember them for
2) said you can’t get a decent beer at the Giants ballpark without going to the tap house that’s built into the park, is this right, I’m not expecting a mind boggling selection but thought a 21st admendment or lagunitas would be somewhere in the ball park, yes/no?

Go to the Public House before you enter the ballpark and get your beer. They have a great selection. The entrance is right behind the Willy Mays statue and does appear to be part of the ballpark. Last time I was there a couple years ago, there was an entrance to the ballpark from inside the bar and they let you take your beer inside. I remember the selection inside the stadium being pretty poor.
