Brews on the Bay, coming up in October
We used to call this a heat wave. Now, I think it’s just called Summer. Here, in the SF Bay Area, it’s usually so cold at night, especially during Summer, we’re not used to being able to walk around at night without a lot of clothes on–during the day, who knows what you might see. I love Summer and I love the heat. There are so many Summer beer festivals coming up nearby, I couldn’t resist putting a list together.
This Weekend in Oakland and San Francisco
