Beer Garden in Hayes Valley

Great weather in SF? head to the Biergarten. It's a beer garden with a goldbrau, oktoberfest, and a weizen...something. $12/liter. They've recycled (3) of those shipping containers and they serve food and beer out of them. We lined up at 2:45pm, and I got my first beer at 3:30 ish. It's probably idea to go a little bit earlier. Nonetheless, 3-4 hours of great time out in the sun in the middle of the CITY!

Cinco De Mayo

We hosted a Cinco de Mayo tequila party. Here was the line-up:
Note that I'm not the best at describing hard alcohol. One thing most had in common was that they were sip-worthy, and salt and lime was optional.
  • Tres Agaves Anejo - spicy and oaky, very flavorful
  • Herradura Reposado Tequila - sharper spicyness, warm down the throat
  • Sauza Blue - Don't remember much about this. 
  • Kirkland Anejo - mild-spice
  • Dos Manos Blanco - clean and smooth, this was my favorite
  • 1800 Silver - also clean and smooth, this was my 2nd favorite
  • Bandolero Silver - wasn't a fan... was pretty good in the margarita mix though
  • Don Augustin Blanco - hint of persimmons
