Easy to find and locally made, Laughing Monk has grown from homebrew to regional staple
Laughing Monk brews in San Francisco and sells locally.
Since the pandemic has limited the number of opportunities to leave the house over the past year, I’ve taken the opportunity to drive around visiting local breweries as a way to spend a couple hours on a Saturday afternoon. One of my favorite Bay Area breweries during this time has been Laughing Monk Brewing, launched by homebrewers Andrew Casteel and Aaron Hicks in 2016 in San Francisco’s Bayview neighborhood.
Laughing Monk’s creative varieties of Belgian brews, lagers, pale ales and IPAs – both West Coast and hazy styles – are consistently flavorful and well made. (Another new favorite is Santa Cruz’s New Bohemia Brewing Co. – read more about it next month.)

AHHHP-puhl? Rudolph not only had to be told that it was a line from
Bridesmaids, but that it was in fact she, and not her costar Kristen Wiig, who delivered it.
Forget the Super Bowl ads. Our fave TV spots last week were on C-SPAN, with Madame Vice President and Secretary Pete. Watching Kamala Harris gavel in that 51st vote in the Senate on Feb. 5 for the COVID-19 relief bill was absolutely awesome. Black Herstory made.
And watching President Biden swear in Pete Buttigieg, with husband Chasten at his side, brought a tear to our eye. We could really get used to this whole queer-and-trans-people-matter thing Biden and Harris are doing.
