The annual Live Like a Greek Festival is in the courtyard of Prophet Elias Greek Orthodox Church this weekend. There will be Greek food for sale including souvlaki (lamb, pork, or chicken skewers), gyros, lamb-rice meatballs, spanakopita, and Greek salad. Desserts include baklava and several other handmade pastries, and drinks include Greek wine, beer and Greek coffee.
To stay alive, some Bay Area breweries are taking a drastic measure: merging with each other. It marks a notable departure from the acquisitions of the past.
These shops are much more than places to buy suds. Community hubs that stress education and exploration, these spots get the green light from top beer pros.
