    Sorry. I’m in San Diego and don’t know the San Jose area. But I just wanted to applaud you for the Larry avatar. The car pool episode is Shakespearean. And it saved a homeboy from a murder charge because the episode proved that he was at the Dodgers game and couldn’t have committed the crime.

    I would look at the following breweries:
    I haven't been to Fox Tale Fermentation, but it's getting a lot of PR lately (Triple D and a local PBS Food Show).

    I stay downtown frequently:

    Narrative is solid but no food outside of foodtrucks

    Foxtale if open on your days is solidly in the good and “different” category

    Good Karma has a solid list and good vegan food

    Market Beer has a strong selection

    Whole Food’s taproom is actually really strong and has house beers
