...but for those that aren't over here on this side of the world and still in SF, not to worry, because I have a plan for you, so listen up:
Petaluma's Lagunitas Brewing Company has revamped its existing space (and adjacent lawn) into a 3,500-square-foot tasting room and beer garden, complete with Oktoberfest-y banquet tables and site-exclusive brews like the malty Hairy Eyeball Ale and sweet, 9.5% boozy, serious bang-for-your-alcoholic-buck Brown Shugga brew. Worth the trip: a still-experimental menu made with ingredients like Sonoma's Willie Bird Turkey and La Tortilla Factory Chips, enjoyable while boppin' to local bands playing live on LBC's outdoor stage. It's a good call. Do it.
Also, I've forgotten that the rest of the world isn't exactly at the same level of "Green Thinking" as us Californians...
So, to stay in subject with the beer theme and my new English language...."have a Pint" over bottled beer. It's less packaging waste, plus, buying local results in fewer carbon dioxide emissions from shipping. At least they got that down, now to find recycle bins!!!
