Beer Garden Nightlife

Every beer tells a story-and this week-NightLife follows the brewing process from botanical inception to foamy finale. Hear from local beer and spirit masters Dave McLean of Magnolia Brewing Company and Carl Sutton of Sutton Cellars as they host a lively conversation about experimenting with botanicals in their boozey creations. Plus, be sure to sip on NightLife's first-ever signature craft beer Magnolia Aliciella Bitter (brewed with plant types found on the museum's living roof!) and taste English-style ale at its finest. Chat with flora-connoiseurs from the SF Botanical Garden at their pop-up garden within the beer garden. Learn about the plants while tasting them too! Sip your way through a pop-up beer hall garden with dozens of local breweries including Almanac, Calicraft Brewing Co., Fort Point, MateVeza, Stone Brewing, Uncommon Brewers and Anchor Brewing, plus live-infused Golden State Cider and Sutton Cellars vermouth tastings. Learn how you too can master the art of beer-making with a live "brewing with botanicals" demo from SF Brewcraft. Plus, play a (tipsy) game of Berlin-style ping pong courtesy of American Tripps.
