RWC Beer Club

Those of you on the email and fb fan lists already know what’s up tonight. For those who shun my attempts to reach you through social media here is the obligatory last minute 411. =)

—————————–email from William ———————

Comrades in Beer:

I invite you to share some of the elixirs I’ve been acquiring. I guess its been the cold winter here thats pushed me toward the dark side. To wit, I’ll be pouring at least one bomber bottle of these and a few other surprises, along with whatever you’re holding:

Firestone: Reserve Porter, Velvet Merlin stout, Double Jack IPA
High Water: Aphotic stout
Drake’s: Hopopaclypse dipa
Heretic: Shallow Grave porter
Mikkeller: Invasion IPA, To/From holiday ale
Ninkasi: ReNewAle porter

I’ll have some simple foods to fill the need.
Please feel free to bring and share something you have a passion for. That can include food, music, opinions, art or anything else you’re willing to hype.

This and more will all go down at 2332 Harding Ave. in Redwood City starting at 6:30PM on Tuesday February 21.
I can be reached at 650.868.7200 for anything else. cheers! william

You say you aren’t asking where have we been? Bah! I know you all want to know. The wife and are renovating our house and while I thought it would be less disruptive it has been a maelstrom of constantly required tweaks and guidance. It’s worth it though, soon we will have a fantastic place to meet.

Not that Google+ picture sharing is all that great but here are some progress photos:

Wednesday, June 27th 6:30pm Haus Staudt! Be there or be beerless!

Tied House Microbrewery: Don’t forget Beer Train leaves San Jose at 9:10. Car #3! Come find Alison Hopkins, Rosemary Colón, Trinidad Pena, Anali Palacios, and Carolyn. Go Giants! That’s the 9:49 train at the RWC stop.

Public House (at the park): good craft beer, can bring your drink into the park through their entrance. Good light food, patio, no reservations. Gets crowded quick and they close door until people leave.

O’Neills: good Irish pub across from the ball park. Get’s crowded but people come and go so you can always get in plus it’s an Irish pub. What more can you ask for?

21st. Amendment (up 2nd a few blocks): SF made craft beer and outdoor patio! Ok food, upstairs is self seating. Pass you beer through the window if you buy at the bar, no alcohol allowed on the sidewalk. Tip, buy a six pack to go for $9.95 versus a $7 pint.

Momo’s: crowded patio, mixed drinks and cheap beer, good vibe on game day. Good food inside.

Plenty of other joints around the area, explore away! And don’t forget the SF staple Red’s Java House, a bit of a walk towards the Bay bridge but definitely the best burger and a beer on game day you will find anywhere near the park.

Beer has been procured, chilling now in the fridge. This is what is on deck for tonight RWCBC February 2011 tasting notes – Strong Beers

See you all at 6:30pm.

The gala kicks off at 4 in SF at the YBAC. It’s sold out, but anyone at the door around 7 with $50 might have a chance to get in. Our meeting will be the Wednesday following SF Beer Week. Don’t forget it is strong beer month too. An embarrassment of beer riches.
