We drove down 101 along the California coast through the red wood forests. Those are some of the most impressive woods I've ever been in. It was a really long day of driving, but beautiful. We drove over the Golden Gate bridge that evening, paying the $6 toll, and met up with our friend Adam who we met in Alaska. He has family & friends that live in San Francisco and was staying there for a few months so we decided to meet up for the Hardly Strickly Bluegrass concert. It's a 3 day free festival in the golden gate park. We went Saturday and Sunday. It was so crowded that we just worked our way to one stage and stayed there for the day and watched all the shows. Our favorite band was Hot Buttered Rum.
On Monday we walked around and explored the city. The best part was checking out Anchor Brewery. It's not quite as old as Yuengling, but it's one of the oldest in the country. They've been around since 1896 and is There original beer and how they would brew the beer out west before they had ice available. Back in the day was that they would put it on the roof to cool it down then the steam would be rising from the rooftops and the town would know that they're brewing beer. It was one of the best brewery tours that we went on they told a lot about the history and stories about each of their different beer styles. All the beer is still traditionally made (not on the roof though) and it's all made in San Francisco but it's shipped throughout the US.
