To celebrate 21 years of creating full-bodied beers in Old Oakland, Pacific Coast Brewing Company is hosting a block party (Washington Street between 9th and 10th streets), and you’re invited. Friday October 16, 2009 from 5pm-11pm you can catch a few live acts, grab a piece of birthday cake, and taste (or chug) some ale. Be sure to swing back by PCB on Saturday. There will be more music and beer discounts. With free music and ale the same price it was in ’88, it’s looking like a recession friendly weekend.
