The best of the bay!

SF Beer Week hosts a ton of beer related events within the span of about a week (duh). There are multiple events all over the bay each day of the week, but the majority of them take place in San Francisco. If I had my way, I'd go to at least one event each day and spend my beer week in a beery haze. Sadly, I only made it out to 3. 

In this post I'd like to briefly highlight the best albums from bay area bands.  I'm not going to rank them this time, and I'm going to skip Fallujah and Cyborg Octopus since I covered them in my Best 16 albums of 2016 list.  I'm also going to be skipping some of the obvious ones like Death Angel, Testament, Autopsy, Neurosis, and some small band that rhymes with ShmeShmallica (I don't want to get sued by some guy that rhymes with Shmars Shmulrich). Without further ado, here they are in no particular order.
