The Trappist? Uh... you'd hate it. Yeah, that's it, you'd hate it. It's really small. It gets crowded. There's limited seating. People sit at the bar reading books. The beer list is confusingly long. The cheddar on the cheese plate is intimidatingly sharp. It's in the heart of downtown Oakland and we all know what a post-industrial hellhole Oakland is. You have to walk past all the pro-Oaksterdam sorts smoking on the sidewalk. Nobody goes there, and you don't want to either...

Note: The beer lists are way, WAY too long to fit in the clip limit, so click through for those.
