-Beer Lands-
It is no secret that most enjoy a nice summer concert or festival by kicking back, having a nice cold beer, and just zoning out and feeling the sounds of the amazing music experience going on around them. Well this year Outside Lands is providing festival goers with a range of different Bay Area based beer companies and breweries for everyone going to Outside Lands to experience, we at B-Sides are providing you with our top suggestions.
1.) Anchor Brewing Company – Anchor Brew can be traced back to 1849 when the California Gold Rush was going on and German brewer Gottlieb Brekle arrived in San Francisco with his family. It is America’s first craft brewery with handmade all-malt beer made in their traditional copper brewhouse. Although Anchor has been mainly known for their ales such as their popular Summer Ale, Humming Ale, and Old Foghorn Ale; the beer company also has a nice light and crisp lager out called Anchor California Lager. Be sure to try a bottle out when you attend Outside Lands this weekend!
2.) Magnolia Brewing Company – Another San Francisco based yet much smaller brewery attending Beer Lands, is Magnolia Brewing Company of Haight Street. They have been brewing in San Francisco under Haight for over 15 years. This little brewery provides its fans with ales, porters, IPA, lagers, and even ciders! With names like Kalifornia Kolsch, Spud Boy’s IPA, and Pomegranate Hard Cider, what is not to love?!
3.) Speakeasy – Since 1997, the San Francisco brewery known as Speakeasy has been producing craft beer.
