The Swagger Stagger: Walking San Francisco in Search of Good Beer

The Bay's best newsletter for underground events & news

My good friend, Sayre Piotrkowski, is one of the only Cicerones (a beer sommelier) in the Bay Area.  While we used to drink lots and lots of Budweiser together in college, his tastes have matured while mine have apparently stayed fairly pedestrian.  Because of this he decided to honor SF Beer Week by taking me on “The Stagger Swagger”, a walking tour of San Francisco’s best beer places, to try to educate my palate.  I just looked at it as an excuse to eat and drink on his dime for the day.  4sp Films came along for the adventure which means you get to see what 7 hours of good beer does to me.  It makes me drunk.
