If it wasn’t enough that a great new bar serving Belgian beers opened recently in downtown Oakland near where I work, Linden Street Brewery recently (well, in the last six months or so) started up near Jack London Square. In fact, you can try a Linden Street Common, which is a steam beer like the famous Anchor Steam, at Oakland Tribune article on the brewery, they have Friday happy hours with a potluck outdoor BBQ. William Brand has also written about Linden Street Brewery. I am so there.
