Sunday, Feb. 13
Onward, soldiers! Day Three awaits, and we're going for the trifecta. Pickle your liver at these lazy Sunday events:
Start bright and early this morning with some hair of the dog at 21st Amendment:
Big Beer Brunch with 21st Amendment and Drake's Brewing
Where: 21st Amendment Brewpub, 563 Second St. (at Brannan), 369-0900
When: 10 a.m.-3 p.m.
Cost: A la carte
What: Liven up your morning with 21st Amendment's Strong Beer Month selections, alongside some guest strong ales from Drake's Brewing Co., paired with a custom brunch menu from the 21A kitchen. Wear your Sunday best.
You dragged yourself out of bed to sample some strong beers ― and we appreciate your dedication. Reward yourself with an early afternoon treat at Elixir:
Magnolia's Cole Porter Aged in Elixir's Buffalo Trace Barrel
Where: Elixir, 3200 16th St. (at Guerrero), 552-1633
When: Every day of Beer Week, 2 p.m.-2 a.m.

What: Reap the rewards of a two-and-a-half month romance between Magnolia's silky porter and Elixir's used bourbon barrel. Drink the angel's share before they can get to it.
At this point, you could spend your evening rubbing elbows with nanobrewers and gypsies, or you can take a walk on the sour side. Valentine's Day is just around the corner. Get in the mood for romance at the Jug Shop:
