Drink Me Magazine and BeerandSoul.com present – Broke Ass Stuart and Cicerone Sayre in ‘The Original Swagger Stagger.’
A few months back Men’s Journal released their list of the top five beer towns in the US. While not really having a major beef with any of their choices, San Diego, NYC, Portland, Philly and Chicago, I was a bit annoyed to see no mention of the Bay Area.
I figured SF Beer Week would be the perfect time to present my counter argument. “The Swagger Stagger” is an idea I conceived for my birthday party last year. It is simply a march through the city stopping at the best beer-centric restaurants, bottle stores and brew-pubs. No cars allowed.
This time I wanted to bring along my good buddy Broke-Ass Stuart. Stuart is something of a taste-maker around the city and it has always frustrated me that someone who is so plugged in to indy-culture makes a habit of drinking corporate beer. In this city where so many of us make a point to support independent business, and local organic food producers, there is no excuse for the consumption of PBR; no matter how well the pretty can compliments your mustached ambivalence.
So last week Stuart and I pounded the pavement, along with the good folks at 4sp Films. Watch what unfolds…

February 8, 2010 Stagger Swagger
Saw the video link from BA before it was ripped down. That’s a shame, because I really enjoyed it and I’m sure other BAs would have also. I’m originally from NorCal andhave been to some of those spots. And it was nice to learn about some new ones. Thanks for sharing!
Any idea what it was taken down? I am not super familiar with the Forums on BA?
They probably saw it as you pimping your website, which is not allowed. Maybe if you had just included the link to youtube it would have been cool, but I saw a few other links (which I did not click on) – to your site perhaps? This is my best guess. You might try reposting it under a SF beer week related post on the Pacific Forum with just the youtube link and see if it passes muster that way.
I’m still pessimistic that I’ll ever catch Stu ordering a bottle of Cantillon.
this is dope
This is fucking sick. I need to do this. Maybe I’ll copycat and do that for my birthday.
