Brewpubs Around the Bay
By Citysearch Editors, San Francisco
It’s not enough to simply serve burgers and beers in San Francisco. To survive among the snobs and foodies, you’ve got to brew your own beer in expertly crafted small batches, serve it up cold and cheap, and pair it with bar bites that you don’t need three pints to enjoy. Sound unlikely? Check out these local brewpubs that elevate brews and pub grub to a whole new level.
