Sonoma Pride, an over-sized IPA with loads of Simcoe and Eureka hops, is available in cans and on draft beginning the weekend of November 4 at Fieldwork Brewing Co. in Monterey at 560 Munras Avenue. 100% of all proceeds go to North Bay Fire Relief. Come enjoy some and support our friends in the North Bay! There are no limits, we just want to raise money.

The deadly wildfires that wreaked havoc in Sonoma and Napa counties this October was nauseatingly heartbreaking to witness. So when Fieldwork’s friends at Russian River Brewing reached out and asked if we'd like to brew a charity beer for fire victims we knew there was only one acceptable answer; "how about a double batch." We will be canning up as much of this beer as possible and putting it on tap across our tasting rooms to raise as much money for our friends in the North Bay as possible. If you cannot get into one of our tasting rooms to grab cans or a pour of draft, please consider going to www.sonomapride.com and donate to help those in need.

"Circle talk time" at Gracie Jiu Jitsu is a very important part of every Gracie Bullyproof children's class, where we discuss topics relevant to our character development program. For two month periods, we focus on a specific topic. Right now, we're talking about "responsibility," and the kids share ideas of how they can practice responsibility in their daily lives outside of class. Children are rewarded with points by their parent. When they earn enough points, they're invited to our Gracie Game Day party! Jiu Jitsu culture is not just about learning how to defend yourself, it's also about how to be the best person you can be.

Try Gracie's Bullyproof children's class for free - get an unlimited 10-day pass and a free uniform. We're located at 636 Lighthouse Avenue in Monterey.
