Strong Beer Month
If you were not already aware, this month is Strong Beer Month at 21st Amendment in South Park and Magnolia Pub & Brewery in the Haight.
All the beers being specially served are over 8.5% ABV, hence the “Strong Beer” moniker. You have the entire month of February to drink up, so space it out and try ‘em all! Both locations will also be serving vintage and barrel-aged beers at various times during the month.
You can get a little punch card to track the beers you have tried at both locales, and if you complete a tasting of all ten beers, you get a commemorative glass by artist Michael Everett, who also designed the poster and t-shirt that promotes this ocassion. The special beers and merch will be available now until the breweries run out.

- Lower de Boom Barleywine

- Hendrick’s Espresso Imperial Stout

Toronado Barley Wine Festival 2006
We will have a large selection of Barley Wines on draught ,with a judging and selection of the 1st , 2nd, and third place finishers.
All of the barley wines will be on tap on the 18th, as they run out the selection will be smaller each day so if you want to try them all come on Saturday. Saturday is the single busiest day at the Toronado, so there will be lines for beers, it will be crowded, the beers are availble in three sizes, 3, 6, and 13 oz.The beers are listed by number, so order by size and number only, the bartender will not look for the beer by name.
