Try the Mikkeller Big Worse Red Wine - Mikkeller's Big Worse Barley Wine aged in red wine barrels. 12% ABV.
Sit at the Front Bar, and wash a pastrami sandwich down with a Triple Karmeliet (or two)
SFGate ManagerJuly 16, 2012If the choices seem overwhelming, ask staff members for a suggestion. The Trappist knows its beer.
Matt BarackmanApril 23, 2011If you're beerie (like foodie?) make sure to stop by Revolution Beers at 3rd and Broadway as well!
Greg GerakopoulosDecember 21, 2011Be adventurous...I had three beers I'd never tried, and they were all spectacular.
try a bottle of the Mikkeller Black! it's a bit pricey, but well worth it! Don't drink it alone...ask the bartenders why
Ah the Trappist! lovely reprise for the trendy crafty beer head
You can tap into the free WiFi from the Starbucks next door... and have a beer...
the beer is good, of course, but their little secret is that they have the best pastrami sandwich this side of the mississippi.
Kristen HaneyJune 4, 2011Rodenbach grand cru or any of Russian rivers barrel aged are excellent choices
Have yet to have a bad beer here. Which is good since that's all they serve. Don't come looking to drink anything else!
Jennifer RubinOctober 5, 2010This place has a Back and Front bar with different beer selections. If you like beer, try it out.
The beer menu changes all the time. If you find something you like, come back and drink up before it's all gone.
Sit at the bar on a weekend afternoon and talk shop with the bartenders. Get recommendations, free tastings and perhaps read the latest issue of Draft magazine.
Dave KaufmanJuly 24, 2011Not on the menu, try a generous sample pour of four different beers for $16.
Austin FaustoOctober 8, 2010Better than your average bear... and beer. Many different brews to choose from! (no domestics)
Knowledgable bartenders mean you need never order for yourself.
Christopher WashingtonJanuary 27, 2010Amazing selection of beers and just an overall cool place to hang out with friends or by yourself. Read more
