A Tour of Anchor Steam Brewing

Ah, yes, beer. It fuels our bodies and quenches our thirst (well, our thirst for beer and tipsy hijinx anyway). Say what you will about the Egyptians, but having been largely credited with inventing the stuff, they'll always be a-okay in our book. We bet Moses himself made sure the Israelites had some urns of beer packed for the exodus, though we doubt he ever prayed to a porcelain God. Not so much because of the idolatry, but to be historically accurate -- the Chinese invented porcelain.

Of course the official beer of San Francisco is from Anchor Brewing, who make delicious stuff. We've never actually taken the brewery tour, since you have to reserve ahead for your group (anyone interested?). But the guys over at From the Shadows went ahead did a segment on it -- download the episode here. Plus they cover other beer awesomeness like making your own beer and the Kegbot Kegerator.
