Here we are again, the start of SF Beer Week. I’ve gathered my itinerary on the surprisingly good SF Beer Week site. Well, it’s not pretty.

I’m going to somehow need to be in about 4 places at all times to make every event I want to. Wouldn’t you know it, just when I sent my 3 clones out for dry cleaning.

It should also be noted that smack dab in the middle of this, Toronado is hosting there always amazing ‘Tion night — a night filled with beers ending in -tion from Russian River.

Russian River Tion Night
20+ Russian River Beers
Toronado
Tuesday, Feb 10th, 6pm-close

And also, the event that really started Beer Week, but for whatever reason the SF Brewers Guild repeatedly fail to mention it, the one and only Toronado Barleywine Festival (the 22nd annual!!!) is on Saturday February 14th. Don’t miss this. Really, don’t. 10am-close. You can also go on Sunday, but all the best beers will be gone by then.

Here’s my full list of events I want to hit — 57 of them — how many I will actually hit? I dunno. I’ll be dead if I hit half of them. The two at Toronado are a lock though.
