If 10,000 SF Biters buy two pints of beer at one of our local microbrews (happy hours included), we'll pour nearly $100,000 back into our city's economy.
The current title of world's most expensive beer goes to Carlsberg Vintage No. 1, a limited-edition release sold only in three Copenhagen, Denmark, restaurants for nearly $400 per bottle (0.8 pt).
Will Slow for a Sip
The Bite
But we'll full-on stop for a pint. (Or four.) Hit the brakes for tomorrow's Slow Beer Festival, where nearly a dozen Bay Area breweries, such as SF's Magnolia Brewing and Thirsty Bear will offer all-you-can-drink "tastings" of more than 25 locally crafted beers, from pilsners to stouts. And if that's not enough calories for ya, rest easy: Local food purveyors like Hog Island Oyster Co. and Bodega Goat Cheese will be on hand to serve up snacks. With each Blue Bell Bitter or organic Polar Bear Lager you drink (in lieu of the nonlocal stuff you normally chug), you're decreasing emissions caused during transport, all while supporting local businesses. Not much incentive to slow down there...
