A sunny day in San Francisco! Will wonders ever cease? We also found an all-day parking lot with an attendant for $15! No, I'm not telling you where...
After exploring the Ferry Building (which deserves a whole blog post by itself), we were ready for a nice cold one. There are some good beer places in the city, but the closest one was in North Beach.

The Rogue Public House on Union and Powell doesn't brew the beer there, but gets their supply from the brewery in Oregon. We arrived during the Argentina/Belgium World Cup game, so the place was hoppin'!
They have the beer list written on chalkboards on the wall. Quite the selection, so why not try a sampler?
For about $7.37, you get a taster tray of four different beers. I like to start with lighter brews, so I got a pilsner, brown ale, pale ale and hefeweizen. Dat's good!
For lunch, my guest got the Kobe Bleu Balls ($9.95), which is a meatball sub with homemade chips. The meatballs have bleu cheese in them - yum! She said they were good and didn't have filler like breadcrumbs in them. I really liked the tangy marinara sauce on it.
I went with the Irish Nachos ($9.95), a big helping of waffle fries with horseradish cream sauce, corned beef, cheddar and green onions on top. Talk about a great pairing! I needed another Hazelnut Brown Ale ($6.44) to go with it. The cream sauce just gave a hint of horseradish, which is probably better than a stronger bite. The fries did come out just warm though.
Rogue Public House is worth a visit for all beer fans out there and is a lot closer than a drive to Oregon. The food was a bit better than normal pub food. Our server was friendly and attentive. It was noisy and crowded during the World Cup game, but it wasn't uncomfortable. We will definitely be coming back.
