San Francisco's City Beer Store plans to celebrate their 5-year anniversary with the release of 5 distinct beers created for the event.

Press Release: June 10, 2010

Five beers are in the process of being created from the following regions: San Francisco, Portland, Tahoe, Orange County, and Anchorage. These five regions have all made an impact in craft brewing throughout the past five years with a genuine dedication to artistry and innovation.

The beers produced for the 5th Anniversary Project will be crafted around the spirit of the West Coast and the unions that have been formed between City Beer and the breweries involved in the project. The program which began this June will culminate with a week long celebration beginning May 2nd, 2011.

"We want to celebrate the entire West Coast brewing tradition, not just our anniversary," summarized owner Craig Wathen.

City Beer Store, owned by husband and wife team Craig and Beth Wathen, is housed in San Francisco's diverse SOMA district. Beth and Craig originated the concept of a beer-centric specialty bottle shop and tasting bar.
