Going to be in San Francisco area in the summer. What are the must-hit places? I know City Beer and Mikkeller Bar. But anywhere else I should visit/ any other good bottle shops? Thanks!
Nope, those are the only two places in the city. I commend you on your excellent research and searching skills. I wish more folks in the forum would take your example.
Check out Healthy Spirits. They have 2 locations - 16th & Castro / 12th & Clement. My favorite brewery in SF is Magnolia on the corner of Haight & Masonic.
Beer Bars: Toronado, Monks Kettle, Zeitgeist, CervecerÃa de Mateveza Breweries: Cellermaker, Anchor, Speakeasy, Magnolia Nearbys: Rare Barrel, Drakes, Faction, Triple Rock, SN Torpedo Room
I second all of this. Love Magnolia for the beer and the food; to me they define New American cuisine. Make sure you ask for coasters to take with you if you go. They are preeeeetty trippy.
