It’s SF Beer Week; Tyler Florence Opening a Bar

The sun has finally come back to the glorious city by the Bay, so grab your sunglasses and do something fabulous this weekend. We’ll be at the ArtPoint gala, come say hello if you’re there! Before we start our Friday afternoon, here’s the news you need to know.

Where to Drink

SF Beer Week starts tonight and restaurants, bars, and breweries all over the city are getting involved. 21st Amendment Brewery is hosting a series of events including a strong beer brunch, a library stash tasting, a special strong beer educational dinner, and an all day party with the Fatted Calf and Magnolia Brewery. Fat Angel is throwing their sixth annual grand sour tasting with the Bruery on Monday, February 13 and guests can indulge in 11 pours of the Orange County-based craft brewery. Other themed nights at Fat Angel include a Belgian bash on Thursday, the 16th, and a cider extravaganza on Sunday, February 19. Check the full schedule of SF Beer Week to learn more about this hoppy happening.

Coming Soon

Tyler Florence has announced a new upstairs bar space at his financial district restaurant, Wayfare Tavern. The Sequoia will be the eatery’s exclusive bar experience. The 50-seat space is being designed by Ken Fulk and has a skylight view of the Transamerica building. It’s on the fourth floor of the building and will be accessible by a street-level door that is right next to Wayfare Tavern. The Sequoia is set to debut in March.

Get Sporty

Tomorrow, the boys are back in town. The San Francisco Giants are hosting their annual FanFest at AT&T Park in anticipation of the upcoming season.

After a rough and disappointing season, the San Francisco 49ers are getting a fresh start with a new coach. Kyle Shanhan came into town on Wednesday. To celebrate the occasion, the 49ers made a video, that they shared on Twitter, of Shanhan’s first 49 hours in SF—check it out below. At a press conference earlier today, he announced the signing of the first six members of the team’s new coaching staff.
