Do you want more? Join us in uncovering new places around the world on: www.111places.com Foreword In all my years living in San Francisco, I have never stopped discover- ing new places, hidden stairways, unexpected vistas, and stories embedded in every crevice. Strolling the city’s rolling terrain brings you face-to-face with these charming details, like the scrollwork on an old Victorian, an overgrown garden of jasmine in a concealed alley, or the lively salsa rhythms drifting out of an open window. For a city that is only seven miles wide and seven miles long, the diversity here is stunning; from musicians, artists, and hippies, to hipsters and entrepreneurs, its population refects every human shape, color, and spirit. It’s not only the people who have defned the neighborhoods, but the land itself: there are 14 hills across which the city rises and falls. In San Francisco, each hill, from Telegraph to Potrero, and every valley, from Noe to Hayes, has its own architecture, its own history, and even its own weather.

  • Fog Breaker IPA a Bright and Refreshing San Francisco IPA
    Fog Breaker IPA A Bright and Refreshing San Francisco IPA San Francisco has a lot of amazing things going for it. The Bay. The Hills. The Culture. But the weather? Well, that’s another story. More days than not, the city is engulfed with a rolling fog that’s become so familiar here among residents that we’ve even given it a name—Karl. And, while we’ll always have a soft spot for Karl, we’re pretty stoked that our brewery sits at the base of Potrero Hill, one of the sunniest spots here in San Francisco. Inspired by our fog-busting location, we’re bottling up this sunshiny brightness in our Fog Breaker IPA. Bursting with fresh pine and juicy tropical hops, this beer is a crisp, refreshing and (mostly) haze-free take on a San Francisco IPA. OVERALL Crisp and refreshing San Franciscosco IPA, bursting with fresh pine and juicy citrus hops. APPEARANCE Bright straw golden color, lasting cream color head. AROMA Ripe pineapple, melons and resinous pine. TASTE Assertive bitterness with hints of lightht biscuity malt base and a smooth, dry finish. MOUTHFEEL Medium-light body with smooth effervescence.
