It’s officially beer week in the Bay Area. What started in San Francisco, has made its way to the Peninsula and there are plenty of local spots where you can find specialty beers, from sours to stout.

Ghostwood Beer Co.

The newly opened Ghostwood Beer Co. is releasing new beers this weekend and through the week. The brewery is kid and dog friendly — and outside food is welcome! Check out their Facebook page for the details.
