It's that time again, our third year of San Francisco Beer Week.

Details are still being hammered out about events up in SF itself, but we're more solid on our area. San Jose's Tied House is hosting their second annual Meat the Brewers event. Tickets are available for the February 18th beer and food extravaganza.

Hope to see a few of our fans there.

The new canning line is up and running. Many thanks are due to Jamie with Cask Systems for sticking it out an extra day to get things going.

The Porter from this run will be hitting store shelves in the next few days.

Once we get photo linking going on the blog again, we'll have some shots up.

We're just into the third week of the year, and here comes the start of the 2011 beer Festival season.

We're pouring at an invite-only cheese and beer event this coming Monday, so if you know what that is, you'll see us there.

Less privately, the Brewing Network is hosting their 2nd Annual Winter Brews Festival, taking place this year at MLK Jr. Civic Center Park in Berkeley from Noon-4pm. Proceeds from the event go to benefit the Coral Reef Alliance, and BAD RAP (Bay Area DogloversResponsible About Pit bulls).

In other brewery news, we have in the last week successfully brewed the largest batch of beer ever produced in Santa Cruz County. The new system is, in many parts, going operational. Expect to see a lot more Uncommon beer out on those shelves in the coming months.
