Tonight’s podcast features a special method of German homework avoidance: brew up a batch of beer, breathe in the delicious aroma of malt and hops, and ruminate over the history of America’s first authentic native style: Steam Beer from San Francisco.
Visit the Anchor Brewing Company, the only brewery in the country still brewing this delicious and authentic San francisco style.

So much. So brilliant. Thank you Richard Miller! […]

My “rest of the day” was taken up by a visit to Rosamunde in the Lower Haight and a nap!
Though the tour is most excellent, I’ve recently been working on a home-brew recipe for Steam beer … let you know how it turns out!
