The new center is already a major draw for musicians and jazz fans locally since every seat in the house offers \u003cem>amazing\u003c/em> acoustics. Now, jazz fans also have their own watering hole with casual bites. This week, Chef Charles Phan opened South restaurant, with craft bourbon cocktails by \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/family#erik\">Erik Adkins\u003c/a> and food ranging from fried beignets (by Pastry Chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/family#chucky\">Chucky Dugo\u003c/a>) to alligator sausage, tender spicy beef jerky and oysters baked or fried. Bar food is a definite departure from the clean award-winning Vietnamese fare Phan is known for, but South gives him a chance to play and riff. Phan has been open with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/10/04/an-interview-with-charles-phan-author-of-vietnamese-home-cooking/\">Bay Area Bites\u003c/a> about his growing love of bourbon, and is due to open the bourbon and fried chicken Hard Water concept on the Embarcadero. He just returned from a research trip to Kentucky with Adkins and architect Olle Lundberg and the trio sampled from up to fifteen barrels each day. “We had to stop at that point,” he said with a laugh. Lundberg's renderings of the space can be seen below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57899\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/charles-phan1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/charles-phan1000.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Phan.

Turns out, he does know how to provide quality sustenance for hungry musicians and their fans and has put some thought into how to do that: “A lot of them are always on the road, and it’s tough for them to get a good, warm meal. They’re like gypsies. At the end of the day, we want to provide good food and value.” Because Phan also oversees the SFJAZZ catering and green room operations, he hopes to get musicians to enjoy the food so much that it will be one reason for them to return, again and again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57908\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/SOUTH-alligator-sausage1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/SOUTH-alligator-sausage1000.jpg\" alt=\"South’s Alligator sausage.

With the guys, they tend to talk about food and women. The perfect night out seems to include music, food and drinks.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The fifty seats at South have full window views of the outside scene and the space is perfectly set up for a quick The Battle of New Orleans cocktail and nibble. Part of the South bar peers into the Robert N. Miner auditorium through a large glass panel. SFJAZZ’s Marshall Lamm confirmed that bar patrons can nab a peek during live performances, which may be markedly different in both vibe and appearance than other music spots (guests do need a ticket to take in any performance). Phan noted that because the Miner auditorium holds up to 700 guests, it makes more sense for jazz patrons to plan on getting a cocktail, versus food, at South. During performances, there is also an upstairs bar with views onto a wall filled with breathtaking black-and-white images of jazz greats. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57896\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/JazzGreats_South1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/JazzGreats_South1000.jpg\" alt=\"Jazz greats: a view from the South and SFJAZZ building Photo: Mary Ladd\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" class=\"size-full wp-image-57896\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Jazz greats: a view from the South and SFJAZZ building Photo: Mary Ladd\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>South currently offers eleven cocktails priced at $10, and draft beer and local wine are also available.

Sometimes, it may happen that the musicians are performing for a group that is enjoying a fancy dinner that looks and smells great, from afar. The musician’s cold bandwich usually arrives wrapped in plastic with grey mystery meat in between two slices of old looking bread. Condiments are an afterthought for bandwiches and forget about seeing some fresh and green Little Gem produce that Phan is using in his celery root remoulade dish at South. Bandwiches are so terrible that Margolis, who has performed in Italy, Japan and all over the world, now specifies in her rider contract that bandwiches are forbidden. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_58007\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/littlegems1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/littlegems1000.jpg\" alt=\"Celery root remoulade with Little Gem lettuce.

The new center is already a major draw for musicians and jazz fans locally since every seat in the house offers \u003cem>amazing\u003c/em> acoustics. Now, jazz fans also have their own watering hole with casual bites. This week, Chef Charles Phan opened South restaurant, with craft bourbon cocktails by \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/family#erik\">Erik Adkins\u003c/a> and food ranging from fried beignets (by Pastry Chef \u003ca href=\"http://www.slanteddoor.com/family#chucky\">Chucky Dugo\u003c/a>) to alligator sausage, tender spicy beef jerky and oysters baked or fried. Bar food is a definite departure from the clean award-winning Vietnamese fare Phan is known for, but South gives him a chance to play and riff. Phan has been open with \u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/2012/10/04/an-interview-with-charles-phan-author-of-vietnamese-home-cooking/\">Bay Area Bites\u003c/a> about his growing love of bourbon, and is due to open the bourbon and fried chicken Hard Water concept on the Embarcadero. He just returned from a research trip to Kentucky with Adkins and architect Olle Lundberg and the trio sampled from up to fifteen barrels each day. “We had to stop at that point,” he said with a laugh. Lundberg's renderings of the space can be seen below.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57899\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/charles-phan1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/charles-phan1000.jpg\" alt=\"Charles Phan.

Turns out, he does know how to provide quality sustenance for hungry musicians and their fans and has put some thought into how to do that: “A lot of them are always on the road, and it’s tough for them to get a good, warm meal. They’re like gypsies. At the end of the day, we want to provide good food and value.” Because Phan also oversees the SFJAZZ catering and green room operations, he hopes to get musicians to enjoy the food so much that it will be one reason for them to return, again and again. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_57908\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/SOUTH-alligator-sausage1000.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/03/SOUTH-alligator-sausage1000.jpg\" alt=\"South’s Alligator sausage.

Amid this soaring popularity, we're seeing the beginning of a wave of home brewers in the Bay Area going pro. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In honor of \u003ca href=\"http://www.sfbeerweek.org/\" title=\"SF Beer Week\">SF Beer Week\u003c/a>, which kicks off Friday, we're taking a look at some of the newcomers who have made the leap to professional brewing in the past year. From Capitola to Novato, Walnut Creek to South San Francisco, they are changing careers or launching second ones while continuing to work full time until the day when beer making may finally pay all the bills.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Several have science or engineering backgrounds. Some launched quietly following months, or sometimes years, of planning and plotting, raising capital and navigating the licensing process. Others, including Pine Street Brewery and Armstrong Brewing Co. this year, and Moksha in 2012, chose to make a splash and their formal debut during SF Beer Week, the pioneering beer celebration that has grown from 70 events to roughly 375 throughout the Bay Area over the past five years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no doubt that it's an exciting time to be a beer drinker, but these six start-ups show it may be an even better time to become the brewer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56119\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-2-ARMSTRONG.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-2-ARMSTRONG.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Armstrong with the blackboard of beers available on tap in the tasting room at Armstrong Brewing Co. in South San Francisco.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"676\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56119\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nick Armstrong with the blackboard of beers available on tap in the tasting room at Armstrong Brewing Co. in South San Francisco.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://armstrongbrewing.com/\" title=\"Armstrong Brewing Company\" target=\"_blank\">Armstrong Brewing Co.\u003c/a>, South San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Nick Armstrong stealthily opened Armstrong Brewing Co. in a South San Francisco industrial park in November with Pat Hinterberger and Ben Colombo. There was little marketing involved beyond a website, Facebook page and mailing list full of his buddies from Genentech, where Armstrong still works full time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using a two-barrel system, the tiny Armstrong Brewery focuses on English and Belgian-style beers, including a malty English Northern brown, a fruity dubbel and a barrel-aged stout. Aside from the beers, it's worth paying attention to Armstrong's financing model. The brewery offers a CSA-style club where members commit to buying six bottles of new barrel releases every three to four months at a cost of $60-$75. So far, he's got 30 members. Armstrong has also partnered with North Carolina State University to try to crack the code for low-gluten beer using a gluten extraction process. If viable, Armstrong may be able to create low-gluten versions of his entire beer lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Where to find Armstrong Brewery's beer: The Armstrong Brewery in South San Francisco and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alearsenal.com/\" title=\"Ale Arsenal\" target=\"_blank\">Ale Arsenal\u003c/a> in San Carlos.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The brewer's personal favorite: Oatmeal porter, a dark English ale with a silky mouthfeel and caramel and toffee notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>SF Beer Week events with Armstrong Brewing: Grand opening launch party with food and live music on February 16 at the tasting room.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56120\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-3-BELTANE.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-3-BELTANE.jpg\" alt='Alan Atha, a self-described \"hop head,\" left a career as a cycling coach and personal trainer to open Beltane Brewing with partner Cathy Portje.' width=\"1000\" height=\"702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56120\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Atha, a self-described \"hop head,\" left a career as a cycling coach and personal trainer to open Beltane Brewing with partner Cathy Portje.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.beltanebrewing.com/\" title=\"Beltane Brewing\" target=\"_blank\">Beltane Brewing\u003c/a>, Novato\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Atha hit the scene at SF Beer Week two years ago as part of a showcase of nanobreweries that had aspirations of one day going pro. Atha finally became legal last fall, transitioning from cycling coach and personal trainer to head brewer of his own operation, which is the only way the 62-year old says he could have gotten into commercial brewing. \"At my age, nobody would hire me,\" he says with a laugh. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>With partner Cathy Portje, Atha opened a petite production facility and tasting room in Novato in October. He uses an all-electric three-barrel system and six strains of yeast to produce a repertoire of about 15 different beers, nine of which are usually on rotation in the tasting room. About 60 percent of Atha's beers are Belgian-style ales, with the remainder representing West Coast styles, such as IPAs. \"If you're a hop head,\" Atha says, \"come see me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Where to find Beltane Brewing's beer: The Beltane tasting room in Novato, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stvincentsf.com/\" title=\"St. Vincent Tavern\" target=\"_blank\">St. Vincent Tavern\u003c/a> in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"http://www.beer-revolution.com/\" title=\"Beer Revolution\" target=\"_blank\">Beer Revolution\u003c/a> in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lincolnparkwine.com/\" title=\"Lincoln Park Wine Bar\" target=\"_blank\">Lincoln Park Wine Bar\u003c/a> in San Anselmo and \u003ca href=\"http://www.petalumataps.com/\" title=\"Taps Restaurant and Tasting Room\" target=\"_blank\">Taps Restaurant and Tasting Room\u003c/a> in Petaluma.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The brewer's personal favorite: Rumpelstiltskin Double IPA, a fruity blend with a huge hop profile. \"I brew that one for me,\" Atha says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>SF Beer Week events with Beltane Brewery: Double IPA Festival at \u003ca href=\"http://www.the-bistro.com/\" title=\"The Bistro\" target=\"_blank\">The Bistro\u003c/a> in Hayward on Feb. 9; Anchor and Hope Shrimp Boil at \u003ca href=\"http://anchorandhopesf.com/\" title=\"Anchor and Hope\" target=\"_blank\">Anchor and Hope\u003c/a> in San Francisco on Feb. 13; Valentine's Day release party of three new beers at Beltane Brewing on February 14th: Mon Coeur Chocolate Ale; Mon Coeur Sauvage, a chocolate ale with raspberries; En Suite Sauvage, a saison with raspberries.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56121\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-4-CALICRAFT.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-4-CALICRAFT.jpg\" alt=\"Blaine Landberg launched Calicraft Brewing Co. following a stint as one of Honest Tea's original employees.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"705\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56121\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blaine Landberg launched Calicraft Brewing Co. following a stint as one of Honest Tea's original employees.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://calicraft.com/\" title=\"Calicraft Brewing Co.\" target=\"_blank\">Calicraft Brewing Co.\u003c/a>, Walnut Creek\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up outside Chico in a family of home brewers, Blaine Landberg knew he wanted to be a brewer since he was 14. He made his first batch of beer in his UC Berkeley dorm in the late 1990s, throwing honey in the mix and calling himself the Buzzerkeley Brewing Company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wanted to start a brewery out of college but instead took a job with Honest Tea to learn the beverage industry from the ground up. He used that knowledge to launch Calicraft in May. His core lineup includes three beers: the Cali Colsh, a light, easy-drinking, stripped-down blend of European and California-grown malts; Oaktown Brown, a hoppy, malty brown ale; and Buzzerkeley, a sparkling ale made with Champagne yeast. All beers are made on a contract basis at facilities across the Bay Area, but Landberg is still hunting for his own brick-and-mortar location in Walnut Creek. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Where to find Calicraft's beer: Whole Foods, many independent grocery stores throughout the Bay Area, such as Andronico's and Lunardi's.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The brewer's personal favorite: Depends on the time of day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>SF Beer Week events with Calicraft: The company is taking part in several events, including the Band of Gypsies at \u003ca href=\"http://rosamundesausagegrill.com/mission-street/\" title=\"Rosamunde Sausage Grill - Mission\" target=\"_blank\">Rosamunde Sausage Grill - Mission\u003c/a> in San Francisco on Feb. 9; 4 X 6 East Bay at \u003ca href=\"http://www.creekmonkey.com/\" title=\"Creek Monkey Tap House\" target=\"_blank\">Creek Monkey Tap House\u003c/a> in Martinez on Feb. 11; and the Black and White Beer Ball at the \u003ca href=\"http://uccr.org/camp/santa-rosa-veterans-building\" title=\"Santa Rosa Veterans Building\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Rosa Veterans Building\u003c/a> in Santa Rosa on Feb. 15, among others\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56122\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-5-MOKSHA.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-5-MOKSHA.jpg\" alt=\"Mukul Jain launched Moksha Beer at SF Beer Week 2012, with its first product based on a beer recipe from an uncle in India.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56122\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mukul Jain launched Moksha Beer at SF Beer Week 2012, with its first product based on a beer recipe from an uncle in India.\u003cbr>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mokshabeer.com/\" title=\"Moksha Beer\" target=\"_blank\">Moksha Beer\u003c/a>, San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mukul Jain and Anand Chandrasekaran used to bemoan the lack of quality among many Indian beers.

Some launched quietly following months, or sometimes years, of planning and plotting, raising capital and navigating the licensing process. Others, including Pine Street Brewery and Armstrong Brewing Co. this year, and Moksha in 2012, chose to make a splash and their formal debut during SF Beer Week, the pioneering beer celebration that has grown from 70 events to roughly 375 throughout the Bay Area over the past five years. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>There is no doubt that it's an exciting time to be a beer drinker, but these six start-ups show it may be an even better time to become the brewer. \u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56119\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-2-ARMSTRONG.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-2-ARMSTRONG.jpg\" alt=\"Nick Armstrong with the blackboard of beers available on tap in the tasting room at Armstrong Brewing Co. in South San Francisco.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"676\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56119\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Nick Armstrong with the blackboard of beers available on tap in the tasting room at Armstrong Brewing Co. in South San Francisco.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://armstrongbrewing.com/\" title=\"Armstrong Brewing Company\" target=\"_blank\">Armstrong Brewing Co.\u003c/a>, South San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There was little marketing involved beyond a website, Facebook page and mailing list full of his buddies from Genentech, where Armstrong still works full time. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Using a two-barrel system, the tiny Armstrong Brewery focuses on English and Belgian-style beers, including a malty English Northern brown, a fruity dubbel and a barrel-aged stout. Aside from the beers, it's worth paying attention to Armstrong's financing model. The brewery offers a CSA-style club where members commit to buying six bottles of new barrel releases every three to four months at a cost of $60-$75. So far, he's got 30 members. Armstrong has also partnered with North Carolina State University to try to crack the code for low-gluten beer using a gluten extraction process. If viable, Armstrong may be able to create low-gluten versions of his entire beer lineup.\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Where to find Armstrong Brewery's beer: The Armstrong Brewery in South San Francisco and the \u003ca href=\"http://www.alearsenal.com/\" title=\"Ale Arsenal\" target=\"_blank\">Ale Arsenal\u003c/a> in San Carlos.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The brewer's personal favorite: Oatmeal porter, a dark English ale with a silky mouthfeel and caramel and toffee notes.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>SF Beer Week events with Armstrong Brewing: Grand opening launch party with food and live music on February 16 at the tasting room.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56120\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-3-BELTANE.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-3-BELTANE.jpg\" alt='Alan Atha, a self-described \"hop head,\" left a career as a cycling coach and personal trainer to open Beltane Brewing with partner Cathy Portje.' width=\"1000\" height=\"702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56120\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Alan Atha, a self-described \"hop head,\" left a career as a cycling coach and personal trainer to open Beltane Brewing with partner Cathy Portje.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.beltanebrewing.com/\" title=\"Beltane Brewing\" target=\"_blank\">Beltane Brewing\u003c/a>, Novato\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Alan Atha hit the scene at SF Beer Week two years ago as part of a showcase of nanobreweries that had aspirations of one day going pro.

He uses an all-electric three-barrel system and six strains of yeast to produce a repertoire of about 15 different beers, nine of which are usually on rotation in the tasting room. About 60 percent of Atha's beers are Belgian-style ales, with the remainder representing West Coast styles, such as IPAs. \"If you're a hop head,\" Atha says, \"come see me.\"\u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Where to find Beltane Brewing's beer: The Beltane tasting room in Novato, \u003ca href=\"http://www.stvincentsf.com/\" title=\"St. Vincent Tavern\" target=\"_blank\">St. Vincent Tavern\u003c/a> in San Francisco, \u003ca href=\"http://www.beer-revolution.com/\" title=\"Beer Revolution\" target=\"_blank\">Beer Revolution\u003c/a> in Oakland, \u003ca href=\"http://www.lincolnparkwine.com/\" title=\"Lincoln Park Wine Bar\" target=\"_blank\">Lincoln Park Wine Bar\u003c/a> in San Anselmo and \u003ca href=\"http://www.petalumataps.com/\" title=\"Taps Restaurant and Tasting Room\" target=\"_blank\">Taps Restaurant and Tasting Room\u003c/a> in Petaluma.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The brewer's personal favorite: Rumpelstiltskin Double IPA, a fruity blend with a huge hop profile. \"I brew that one for me,\" Atha says.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>SF Beer Week events with Beltane Brewery: Double IPA Festival at \u003ca href=\"http://www.the-bistro.com/\" title=\"The Bistro\" target=\"_blank\">The Bistro\u003c/a> in Hayward on Feb. 9; Anchor and Hope Shrimp Boil at \u003ca href=\"http://anchorandhopesf.com/\" title=\"Anchor and Hope\" target=\"_blank\">Anchor and Hope\u003c/a> in San Francisco on Feb. 13; Valentine's Day release party of three new beers at Beltane Brewing on February 14th: Mon Coeur Chocolate Ale; Mon Coeur Sauvage, a chocolate ale with raspberries; En Suite Sauvage, a saison with raspberries.\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56121\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-4-CALICRAFT.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-4-CALICRAFT.jpg\" alt=\"Blaine Landberg launched Calicraft Brewing Co. following a stint as one of Honest Tea's original employees.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"705\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56121\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Blaine Landberg launched Calicraft Brewing Co. following a stint as one of Honest Tea's original employees.\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://calicraft.com/\" title=\"Calicraft Brewing Co.\" target=\"_blank\">Calicraft Brewing Co.\u003c/a>, Walnut Creek\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Growing up outside Chico in a family of home brewers, Blaine Landberg knew he wanted to be a brewer since he was 14. He made his first batch of beer in his UC Berkeley dorm in the late 1990s, throwing honey in the mix and calling himself the Buzzerkeley Brewing Company. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>He wanted to start a brewery out of college but instead took a job with Honest Tea to learn the beverage industry from the ground up. He used that knowledge to launch Calicraft in May. His core lineup includes three beers: the Cali Colsh, a light, easy-drinking, stripped-down blend of European and California-grown malts; Oaktown Brown, a hoppy, malty brown ale; and Buzzerkeley, a sparkling ale made with Champagne yeast. All beers are made on a contract basis at facilities across the Bay Area, but Landberg is still hunting for his own brick-and-mortar location in Walnut Creek. \u003c/p>\n\u003cul>\n\u003cli>Where to find Calicraft's beer: Whole Foods, many independent grocery stores throughout the Bay Area, such as Andronico's and Lunardi's.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>The brewer's personal favorite: Depends on the time of day.\u003c/li>\n\u003cli>SF Beer Week events with Calicraft: The company is taking part in several events, including the Band of Gypsies at \u003ca href=\"http://rosamundesausagegrill.com/mission-street/\" title=\"Rosamunde Sausage Grill - Mission\" target=\"_blank\">Rosamunde Sausage Grill - Mission\u003c/a> in San Francisco on Feb. 9; 4 X 6 East Bay at \u003ca href=\"http://www.creekmonkey.com/\" title=\"Creek Monkey Tap House\" target=\"_blank\">Creek Monkey Tap House\u003c/a> in Martinez on Feb. 11; and the Black and White Beer Ball at the \u003ca href=\"http://uccr.org/camp/santa-rosa-veterans-building\" title=\"Santa Rosa Veterans Building\" target=\"_blank\">Santa Rosa Veterans Building\u003c/a> in Santa Rosa on Feb. 15, among others\u003c/li>\n\u003c/ul>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_56122\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 1000px\">\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-5-MOKSHA.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/02/BAB-BEER-5-MOKSHA.jpg\" alt=\"Mukul Jain launched Moksha Beer at SF Beer Week 2012, with its first product based on a beer recipe from an uncle in India.\" width=\"1000\" height=\"702\" class=\"size-full wp-image-56122\">\u003c/a>\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Mukul Jain launched Moksha Beer at SF Beer Week 2012, with its first product based on a beer recipe from an uncle in India.\u003cbr>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003ca href=\"http://www.mokshabeer.com/\" title=\"Moksha Beer\" target=\"_blank\">Moksha Beer\u003c/a>, San Francisco\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Mukul Jain and Anand Chandrasekaran used to bemoan the lack of quality among many Indian beers.

I lived in San Francisco in the early 90s and worked at a research lab in Palo Alto. There is such a wonderful spirit of innovation and creativity that opened my mind and helped me to integrate art and technology in a deep way.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area Bites: \u003cstrong>The Bay Area is home to many Burning Man fans. You have long-term ties to Burning Man yourself. How does that relate to the Bay Lights?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Villareal:\u003c/strong> I was inspired to created programmed light installations in the mid-1990s. One year, at Burning Man, I put up an irregular grid of 16 blinking lights above my encampment to act as a beacon. I used it to get home after a long night out on the playa. The art-making both on and off the playa evolved from there.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Bay Area Bites: \u003cstrong>What do you like to eat while you are in San Francisco working on The Bay Lights?\u003c/strong>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Villareal: \u003c/strong>Antipasti and pizza funghi with Fontina and black truffle oil at \u003ca href=\"http://www.americanorestaurant.com/\">Americano\u003c/a>. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Octopus carpaccio, oak roasted Ono and Tomales Bay Oysters at \u003ca href=\"http://www.waterbarsf.com/\">Waterbar\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Hog Island clams and baked eggs at \u003ca href=\"http://www.zunicafe.com/\">Zuni\u003c/a>.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>Related Information:\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://thebaylights.org/\">The Bay Lights\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Twitter:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://twitter.com/thebaylights\">@TheBayLights\u003c/a>\u003cbr>\n\u003cstrong>Facebook:\u003c/strong> \u003ca href=\"https://www.facebook.com/thebaylights\">The Bay Lights\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\n\u003c/div>\u003c/p>",

With 80,000 products shown from 35+ countries and regions, it is the largest marketplace devoted exclusively to specialty foods and beverages on the West Coast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strategically avoiding the crowds that formed around every booth with a TV tuned in to the Niners game, we were able to taste an impressive amount of samples from this year’s exhibitors. Here are some trends we picked up on:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Superfood Mania \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/01/2013-01-20-fancy-food-show-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-7.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/01/2013-01-20-fancy-food-show-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-7.jpg\" alt=\"Raw Superfruit Mix from Extreme Health USA\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54950\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We saw proclaimed superfoods like goji, quinoa, and chia seeds in everything from snack mixes to breakfast cereals, pastas, and energy drinks. Despite some unfortunate branding for a few of these products (I’m looking at you, \u003ca href=\"http://holycrap.com/\">Holy Crap Breakfast Cereal\u003c/a>), most of it tasted surprisingly good. In particular, we were fans of the \u003cstrong>Raw Superfruit Mix\u003c/strong> from \u003ca href=\"http://www.extremehealthusa.com/\">Extreme Health USA\u003c/a>. It was a hefty, chewy mix of organic goji berries, mulberries, golden berries, and blueberries. The golden berries were a first for me. Also called Incan Berry, they have a sweet, tart, grapefruit-like flavor that play well with their other super friends in the mix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>2.

There were coconut oils, coconut beverages, coconut ice cream, coconut chips, even coconut cheese. The most addictive iteration of these coconutty goods was \u003ca href=\"http://www.dangfoods.com/\">Dang Coconut Chips\u003c/a>. Before the branding police raises an eyebrow, let it be known that Dang is named after the company founder’s mother. The chips are made from ripe coconut meat, toasted with a touch of sugar and salt until the intense, golden coconut flavor is baked in. Mixed with granola, sprinkled over yogurt, a salad, or eaten by the handful, it would be easy to demolish an entire bag of these coconut chips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3.

Between all the kale chips, and lentil chips, and fruit chips, and seaweed snacks I saw, I was beginning to wonder what a girl had to do to get an old-fashioned potato chip around here. Before I had time to mourn the spud for long, the “Kale is Kool” Kids had me surrounded. I was powerless against their enthusiasm and vitamin-charged perkiness. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bradsrawchips.com/products/vampire-killer\">Brad’s Raw Leafy Kale\u003c/a> in the \u003cstrong>Vampire Killer\u003c/strong> flavor (a savory, garlicky delight) had me chanting “Kale is Kool” for a good minute or two. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.

Pretzels and shortbread cookies from \u003ca href=\"http://gratifyfoods.com/\">Gratify Foods\u003c/a> could have fooled me. \u003ca href=\"http://bixbyco.com/\">Bixby & Co\u003c/a>’s \u003cstrong>To The Nines\u003c/strong> white chocolate bar was fragrant with cardamom and had crunch factor from pistachios, almonds, and puffed rice. And if it is decadence you’re looking for, turn to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bequetconfections.com/\">Béquet Caramel\u003c/a>. Hand crafted in small batches in Montana, these soft buttery caramels are sinfully rich and utterly delicious. All their flavors were fantastic (I did my due diligence and tried about six of them…see how committed I am to you), but the sleeper hit was the \u003cstrong>Cinnamon Swirl\u003c/strong>. The cinnamon flavor was deep, with an almost baked-in flavor to it, perfectly complementing the buttery vanilla caramel. For gluten-free folks, if you’ve ever craved a hot cinnamon roll, this may just do the trick. \u003cstrong>Béquet’s Cinnamon Swirl Caramel\u003c/strong> has captured the essence of warm cinnamon roll indulgence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5.

With 80,000 products shown from 35+ countries and regions, it is the largest marketplace devoted exclusively to specialty foods and beverages on the West Coast. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Strategically avoiding the crowds that formed around every booth with a TV tuned in to the Niners game, we were able to taste an impressive amount of samples from this year’s exhibitors. Here are some trends we picked up on:\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>1. Superfood Mania \u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/01/2013-01-20-fancy-food-show-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-7.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/01/2013-01-20-fancy-food-show-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-7.jpg\" alt=\"Raw Superfruit Mix from Extreme Health USA\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54950\">\u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>We saw proclaimed superfoods like goji, quinoa, and chia seeds in everything from snack mixes to breakfast cereals, pastas, and energy drinks. Despite some unfortunate branding for a few of these products (I’m looking at you, \u003ca href=\"http://holycrap.com/\">Holy Crap Breakfast Cereal\u003c/a>), most of it tasted surprisingly good. In particular, we were fans of the \u003cstrong>Raw Superfruit Mix\u003c/strong> from \u003ca href=\"http://www.extremehealthusa.com/\">Extreme Health USA\u003c/a>. It was a hefty, chewy mix of organic goji berries, mulberries, golden berries, and blueberries. The golden berries were a first for me. Also called Incan Berry, they have a sweet, tart, grapefruit-like flavor that play well with their other super friends in the mix. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>",

There were coconut oils, coconut beverages, coconut ice cream, coconut chips, even coconut cheese. The most addictive iteration of these coconutty goods was \u003ca href=\"http://www.dangfoods.com/\">Dang Coconut Chips\u003c/a>. Before the branding police raises an eyebrow, let it be known that Dang is named after the company founder’s mother. The chips are made from ripe coconut meat, toasted with a touch of sugar and salt until the intense, golden coconut flavor is baked in. Mixed with granola, sprinkled over yogurt, a salad, or eaten by the handful, it would be easy to demolish an entire bag of these coconut chips. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>3. The Anti-Potato Chip\u003c/strong>\u003cbr>\n\u003ca href=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/01/2013-01-20-fancy-food-show-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-21.jpg\">\u003cimg src=\"http://ww2.kqed.org/bayareabites/wp-content/uploads/sites/24/2013/01/2013-01-20-fancy-food-show-stephanie-hua-lick-my-spoon-21.jpg\" alt=\"Brad's Raw Leafy Kale\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-54951\">\u003c/a> \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The whole healthy snacks thing was really prominent this year. Between all the kale chips, and lentil chips, and fruit chips, and seaweed snacks I saw, I was beginning to wonder what a girl had to do to get an old-fashioned potato chip around here. Before I had time to mourn the spud for long, the “Kale is Kool” Kids had me surrounded. I was powerless against their enthusiasm and vitamin-charged perkiness. \u003ca href=\"http://www.bradsrawchips.com/products/vampire-killer\">Brad’s Raw Leafy Kale\u003c/a> in the \u003cstrong>Vampire Killer\u003c/strong> flavor (a savory, garlicky delight) had me chanting “Kale is Kool” for a good minute or two. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>4.

Pretzels and shortbread cookies from \u003ca href=\"http://gratifyfoods.com/\">Gratify Foods\u003c/a> could have fooled me. \u003ca href=\"http://bixbyco.com/\">Bixby & Co\u003c/a>’s \u003cstrong>To The Nines\u003c/strong> white chocolate bar was fragrant with cardamom and had crunch factor from pistachios, almonds, and puffed rice. And if it is decadence you’re looking for, turn to \u003ca href=\"http://www.bequetconfections.com/\">Béquet Caramel\u003c/a>. Hand crafted in small batches in Montana, these soft buttery caramels are sinfully rich and utterly delicious. All their flavors were fantastic (I did my due diligence and tried about six of them…see how committed I am to you), but the sleeper hit was the \u003cstrong>Cinnamon Swirl\u003c/strong>. The cinnamon flavor was deep, with an almost baked-in flavor to it, perfectly complementing the buttery vanilla caramel. For gluten-free folks, if you’ve ever craved a hot cinnamon roll, this may just do the trick. \u003cstrong>Béquet’s Cinnamon Swirl Caramel\u003c/strong> has captured the essence of warm cinnamon roll indulgence. \u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>5.

And \u003ca href=\"http://www.joialife.com/\">Joia\u003c/a> uses creative combinations of fruit, herbs, and spices (think Grapefruit Chamomile & Cardamom) to bring life to their lightly carbonated drinks.
