Keeping up with the Bay Area beer scene
February is Strong Beer month in the Bay Area, known for festivals, parties and special brews. Make your to-do list at http://celebrator.com/features/beerapalooza/2008/ and http://www.strongbeermonth.com/ then come on back to make your travel plans.
There’s a great column in the Oakland Tribune and related East Bay papers by William Brand. Plus he has an email list to keep you updated on beer events, and he actively blogs.
(The San Francisco Chronicle covers beer sometimes in its wine section. Encouragement might help… comment and give feedback to them so they’ll keep it up. Here’s an article about what specific artisan cheeses go with what specific craft beers.)
The Celebrator, the essential western beer publication, is good for learning about beer activities within range of BART trips, plus broader travel, too. Many of the establisments listed distribute it free; eventually you may want to subscribe to support what these people do for our beer scene!
Where else do YOU check?

You need to check out the San Francisco Brew Pub Club, of course! Our web site (http://www.sfbrewpub.org) lists all the brew pubs and good beer bars in San Francisco (and within easy reach). Plus see our calendar for beer festivals and other events.
Love the Beer By BART site - great concept! Must try doing a crawl by BART sometime and see how many stops we can do in one session!
