Bottoms Up

I’m about to jump onto BART and make my way to Fort Mason in San Francisco for the preview expo tonight of the Fast Food Nation Taste Pavilions and especially, the Beer Pavilion.

David Hopwood, of Stone Brewing, spent the day Thursday at the beer pavilion helping the guy in charge, Dave McLean, of Magnolia Gastropub, San Francisco, and many other volunteers set up the pavilion.

The asterisk beside a beer in the list means it’s on cask.  In other words, real ale, unfiltered, non-pasteurized:
