Hey, I'll be traveling to San Francisco for a conference next week at the Fort Mason Center. Can anyone recommend a place I can find Pliny while in town? I'd love any suggestions, really, as to what's fresh right now, or any other recommendations! Thanks! I heard the Toronado is the place to go, but not sure I'll get over to Haight w. my co-workers.
Toronado would accomplish both. Always have it on draft and sell bottles to go. Cash only. For bottles, City Beer Store, and whole foods in SoMa.
I usually get it at City Beer Store or Jug Shop. I think both receive weekly shipments of it on Wednesdays. Jug Shop is pretty close to Fort Mason.
If you want bottles, Wednesday is Russian River delivery day in SF. Any of the Whole Foods locations, City Beer, and Jug Shop are the best places to check. The closest of those to Fort Mason is the Whole Foods where I work, on Franklin and California streets.
