Five Microbrewery Bars in San Francisco

Three Microbrew Bars You Should Visit (and Beers to Drink) in San Francisco, California

I recently went on a business trip to San Francisco. I am a big fan of microbrew beers and find that when I travel for business, visiting microbrew bars for happy hour is a great way to try new beers. As a fan of microbrew beers I can say that San Francisco has some very nice microbrew beers for those of you that enjoy a good one just like I do. I was staying in the Fisherman's Wharf area near The Embarcadero and had the opportunity to visit three different microbrew restaurants when I was in San Francisco. These three microbrew restaurants resulted in my discovery of five microbrew beers I feel you must try in San Francisco. The three restaurants I visited were: San Francisco Brewing Company located at 155 Columbus Avenue near Chinatown; 21st Amendment, which is located at 563 2nd Street near the San Francisco Giants' stadium, and Thirsty Bear located at 661 Howard Street in the same area.

At San Francisco Brewing Company there are two beers I would recommend trying. The first is the Rainbow Stout. It is a nice dark beer with a fairly nice coffee aftertaste and hint of chocolate in the aroma. It is a good example of a stout beer. Even better at San Francisco Brewing Company in San Francisco is the Liberator Doppelbock microbrew beer. This is a very dark doppelbock with a high alcohol content which is hidden in the smooth feel of the beer. It does not have an alcohol smell like some high alcohol content beers do. It is a very filling beer though, so after a couple pints I was thoroughly satisfied. When visiting San Francisco Brewing Company keep in mind that happy hour runs from 4 until 6 pm and during that time you can get a 10 ounce beer for $1.75 or a 16 ounce for $3.50.
