SF Beer Week 2011: Where to Spot the Wench!

San Francisco Beer Week 2011 happens to be extremely exciting for me this year, for several reasons. I recently brewed a collaboration beer called Ryedentity Crisis with Knee Deep Brewing Company and Devil’s Canyon Brewing Co. that will be exclusively available to at select accounts in the Bay Area this week. Also, I am now gainfully employed with a local brewery, which means I will be supporting them at several events. Lots of great beer will be poured all over the bay over the next few days, and I intend on drinking as much of it as physically possible. Here is a breakdown of where you can find me this week:
