Earlier tonight the folks at Anchor Brewery in San Francisco threw a little get together to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Toronado, the best beer bar in San Francisco and one of the best anywhere.

We enjoyed Anchor beers with some appetizers at the bar while we waited to sit down in the brewery for a wonderful meal.
