On a night the A’s had to win, only 18,416 fans (many of them Angel’s fans) watched the Athletics lose 4-3 and allow the Angels to clinch the Western Division crown. Such is life for the Athletics who last year allowed the Angels to clinch the divison on their home turf, 1 day before the end of the season.

And finally a little useless information for yah.
2005 A’s record when Matt attends: 1-3

My college brewery has closed it’s doors…to become a national brewery. It will be sad not to see the old SLO Brew name anymore. I saw many a great band there.

===========================================================
SLO Brew will be permanently Closed as of August 28, 2005

New owners take over with a new name and style: Downtown Brewing Co.

Watch for the opening of Downtown Brew Sept 8, 2005

Since we opened our doors in 1988, SLO Brewing Company has provided locals on the Central Coast and visitors alike with a great place to come and enjoy good hand-crafted beer, food and live music.

Founded by Michael and Becky Hoffman

Over the last few years, we have begun to focus on making the transition from being a local brewpub to being a nationally respected craft brewing company. Greater attention to detail and our continuing effort to create the best beers on the West Coast and beyond has yielded extensive national and world-wide acclaim — our beer now consistently ranks among the elite in the brewing industry. This success has fueled our desire to produce the best beer available in any market, and led to our recent accumulation of prestigious honors and awards. We couldn’t have done it without our Brewmaster consultant Matt Brynildson and our own Brewer Steve Couier.

So what do gold medals mean to you as a patron? Better beer of course! Thank you for your continuing support of our passion for brewing craft beers! Cheers!

SLO brew bottled beer was purchase by United States Beverage Co. in 2001. We have nothing to do with the bottled beer distribution or production. I think slo Brew bottles are now made in Pennsilvania.

I was able to make it to my 6th Giants game of the season. The Giants are 3-3 in the games I have attended so far this year. (the A’s are 1-2)
The Mets were my favorite team growing up. I have since realized that I like my home team better. I was just a freshman starting high school when Darryl, Doc, and the crew won the ‘86 Series. I even still have my Mets jersey and jacket.
The Giants are heating up at the right time and they say Bonds will be back soon.
