My faith in humanity is gone.

If the office jobs pay well enough to actually rent one of the apartments, well, wow.

Is this a baseball story or a beer story?

No comments from A’s fans?

Usually if a brewer has a distribution agreement into the state; they stock it. I won’t buy my alcohol anywhere else.) They do carry it. I’ll check it out on the next trip.

Anchor Steam is a great beer, very drinkable. Which is to say it’s not a beer snob beer, nor is it a mass-produced unflavored beer. It’s just a good beer to drink.

Now I’m going to check and see if they export to my area.

Going from 105* to an evening at what was then PacBell Park was a major shock to the system.

It’s not really that big of a deal.

I’ll take an Anchor Steam, Anchor Porter or Lagunitas IPA or a Great White Ale, Indica IPA or Downtown Brown before drinking a Sierra Nevada. Point being, if a local brew is going into my koozie, it won’t be Chico’s finest.

Definitely worth reserving a spot if visiting.

At 5 guys per apt, Anchor Steam should do really well until the next crash.

Besides, everybody knows the best taco trucks are on international in Oakland and they’re not giving up the choice location for the coliseum.
