san francisco beer tour

A few weeks ago I visited two breweries and one pub in San Francisco. Brewery tours have become one of my favorite ways to spend the day.

21st Amendment
21st Amendment is a brew-pub located in the South Beach area. I love the names of their beers. They have this watermelon beer that's quite popular with the ladies. Also, as a bonus if you visit this brew-pub, The American Grilled Cheese Kitchen is just right across the street (!) if you aren't into the food at 21st Amendment, but the food at the pub is pretty good.

Toronado Pub
Over in the Haight-Ashbury is Toronado Pub. This place does not serve food, it's small, has a dive vibe but has excellent beer selection with a range from Russian River on tap to Dog Fish Head. The restrooms are covered in graffiti/art? (including the toilet seat). Also at this place you may run into more than one old man with dreadlocks that go to the floor and instead of the stench of cigarettes permeating from the outside, you will smell weed.

Speakeasy Brewery
If you head a little south is Speakeasy Brewery. They only have a tap room which happened to be filled with "Punks" the day we visited. Yes boys and girls, the punk scene is still alive. I stuck out like a sore thumb.

Now officially on the search for an opportunity for another beer tour somewhere!
