I'll be in San fran for a few days next week. I'm not gonna have much free time, but I'm hoping to put together a box of goodies to ship home.(stuff I cant get here in pa) I'm interested in Sours Double ipas Barrel aged Russian river Cascade Logsdon Midnight Sun Jester King Boulevard Deschutes I'm staying at the Ritz Carlton, any recommendations for stores close by would be great.
City beer store is defiantly a great one stop shop as far as selection. If your looking to sit down and grab a beer, Toronado in lower Haight is legendary.
He's not gonna have much free time, and Beer Rev doesn't have anything in bottles you can't find at City Beer/Healthy Spirits/Whole Foods SF. It'd be a great place to grab a beer and some bottles, but it's not exactly down the street.
Didn't read the 'not much free time ' part. My bad. Agree if you're pressed for time it's probably not worth the trip. I really enjoy city beer but find the rev to be a much more enjoyable spot, and the bottle prices are generally a lot better.
