Jones (concussion); wide receivers Courtland Sutton, Kendall Hinton and Brandon Johnson (ankle); TE Chris Manhertz and RT Mike McGlinchey (knee).

One of America’s first brewpubs, Buffalo Bill’s in Hayward, is back in business

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:22:18 GMT

There was much crying into pumpkin ale last year when Buffalo Bill’s Brewery – one of the first brewpubs in America – announced it was closing after nearly four decades in Hayward.The brewery had been an iconic meeting place for both beer lovers and community members. It had a special spot in the early history of craft brewing and was said to be the progenitor of the nation’s first commercially produced pumpkin beer. One of its tap handles is even stored at the Smithsonian’s National Museum of American History.“It’s a tragedy, and we’re losing a symbol of Hayward. It’s hard to imagine how it will be replaced,” the then-president of the Hayward Chamber of Commerce said at the time.Well, folks need to imagine no longer, because as of August,Buffalo Bill’s Brewery is suddenly back open. And new owner Alejandro Gamarra, who runs several Mexican restaurants in Hayward, plans to keep it pretty much the same as before – though he does have plans for spicing up its lineup of bee...

Review: High-flying ‘Corteo’ finds Cirque du Soleil wrestling with somber themes

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 00:22:18 GMT

The unbearable lightness of being buoys “Corteo” to dizzying new heights.Dazzling in its sheer athleticism, artistry, and aching existentialism, the first Cirque du Soleil show to fly into the Bay Area since the pandemic will leave you moved and exhilarated.Framed by the death of a clown, “Corteo,” which means procession in Italian, is part meditation on mortality and part heart-pounding celebration of being alive. Shot through with wild Fellini-style tableaus, this surreal circus dream kicked off a Bay Area run at San Jose’s SAP Center and is headed to Oakland and San Francisco. While it lacks the whimsy and intimacy of the troupe’s signature big top, writer/director Daniele Finzi Pasca transforms the SAP Center into a theater framed by ornately painted scrims and dotted with bejeweled chandeliers from which astounding aerialists dangle and swing.In this fantasy realm, a sad sack clown named Mauro (Mauro Mozzani) has his life flash before his eyes in a tragicomic blur, ...
