remember how great devils canyon beer friday was?

drake's weekly friday beer party is even better.

there's no live band, but the whole affair is outdoors. there's about 1/4 the number of folks there, but the beer is way, way better (after all, it's drake's!). the crowd is very mixed, from beer geeks to gangsters with prison tattoos. actually, the prison tats outnumbered the beer geeks by about 3 to 1.

there were some homebrewers there and most importantly, drake's fires up a grill and the partygoers bring sausages, steaks, chicken, and any grillables that they can, to share for free with everyone. homemade salsa was there, too, and, at the end of it, 5 or six of san leandro's finest, looking for a handout or something.

our ride got draped with yellow police line tape. beat that, devil's canyon!
