BevMo might be one of the greatest places ever. It only gets better when they bring together 125 beers for a holiday tasting event in the shadow of the Golden Gate Bridge.

In DRAFT’s March/April issue, we visit La Trappe Cafe in San Francisco. The location has a long history within the Azzalini family:
Mike Azzalini, owner of La Trappe, is just one of his lineage to occupy the building at 800 Greenwich Street. According to his grandmother, Teresa DeMattei,a 91-year-old San Francisco native, Mike’s great-grandfather, Joseph Foppiano, purchased the building with another family member in 1928. It has been dressed up as a dance studio, a dentist’s office, The Rolling Wheels Club — a hot rod club run by Mike’s uncle in the ’50s — and even a storage spot where Foppiano aged wine during Prohibition. More recently, the building housed a series of Italian restaurants before arriving at its current incarnation, a Belgian bistro and Trappist lounge.
