American Craft Beer Fest
In order to bring craft beer to the masses, Beer Advocate held the American Craft Beer Fest at the Seaport World Trade Center. With the move from the much smaller Cyclorama came a larger crowd – from the old limit of 1,200 to up to 5,000 people at each session. The result was a lot more beer being served but a lot more douchebags showing up to get their drink on with little regard to appreciating beer – in effect, not respecting beer as the Alström brothers would want us all to do. Stupidity aside, we managed to have a good time, sampling the beers the brewers presented. I’ll look forward to their return to the Cyclorama for the Belgian Beer Fest in September.

As I make my way along the Embarcadero, I take a detour onto a pier to check out San Francisco behind me.
Walking along The Embarcadero, Part 1
Finding myself with a lot of time to kill in the afternoon before the Giants game at 7pm, I walked the length of the Embarcadero from Fisherman’s Wharf down to the Ferry Terminal.

One final batch of food porn from the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party because one can never look at enough barbecue.

Big Apple Barbecue Block Party, Part 1
The weekend of June 7th was the 6th Annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party at Madison Park. As always, the food offerings were good, genuine barbecue – smoky, flavorful, and filling. If it hadn’t been the first day of a heat wave, we might have stayed and had more than two plates of food.
Driving from Syracuse to Binghamton
For some reason that I can’t seem to recall now, we drove down from Syracuse to Binghamton when visiting Justin, who was living in Syracuse at the time.
Anchor Brewing Company
Anchor Brewing Company, makers of the awesome Anchor Steam beer, has their headquarters in the Potrero Hill neighborhood of San Francisco. While out there, I visited the brewery for a tour and, more importantly, the free samples after the tour.
Eve of the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party
The night before the annual Big Apple Barbecue Block Party is when pitmasters around the country arrive and set up shop around Madison Square Park. The first stop was Blackjack BBQ from Charleston, SC – their offering was pork shoulder.
