Depending on who you ask, there aren’t many things in life better than a good pour of whiskey. Except for a good pour of whiskey with a jumbo ice ball that’s been perfectly formulated to make any pour of whiskey better. Like these from the Original Whiskey Ball Co. that we’ve got for up to 21% off.

SALE-ING LESSONS
Taylor Stitch. Voyager. Golden Bear. Sample Sale. Go.
This weekend, head to Golden Bear’s factory for the sample sale to end all sample sales from tons of local purveryors like Taylor Stitch, Mission Workshop and Voyager, plus the presence of beer by Olympia. You would’ve shown up without the beer, but it’s appreciated.
Saturday
BATTER UP
Corn Dogs: The Festival
The Great San Francisco Corn Dog Festival is coming to SoMa StrEat Food Park with specials from food trucks like Chef’s Truck and Road Dogs, along with the option of unlimited beer. It’s okay if all you read was “Corn Dog Festival.”
WAKE AND BACON
The Bacon and Beer Festival Heads to Jack London, and So Should You
You’re not sure you could ever choose between bacon and beer. Where is this going? You know exactly where this is going. Straight to the Bacon and Beer Festival with porky dishes from vendors like GrilledCheezGuy and Crave BBQ, and brews from the likes of Almanac Beer Co. But again, you knew that.
Sunday
HOLE IN ONE
A Mini Bagelry Inside of PizzaHacker. Yes. Very Much Yes.
If you’ve been noticing San Francisco’s dearth of good bagel options, you may stop that now. Because PizzaHacker has a new bagel pop-up called BagelMacher, offering bagels “like your bubbie’s bubbie used to make.” Apparently your bubbie’s bubbie liked smoked salt bagels with Sierra Nevada cream cheese.
SHOPPORTUNITY KNOCKS
Beer and Sales and Sales and Beer
Fact: Getting 50%-80% off stylish, local gear from the likes of Obey, Seedstore and Oak Common is good. Fact: Having that happen at Temescal Brewing, which means there will be beer, is better. Opinion: Your date would love that safari bag.
What Else Is New
Joe Starkey is the tallest person in the room 90% of the time. He enjoys liquors that aren’t smoky, dive bars that are, and has a vague dread that someone, somewhere might be having more fun than him.
