Whatever Man I saw you crowded with all the other bros at the bar, scheming your way forward for a drink and better view of the fight. I didn’t mind so much that you were pushy and started waving crinkled bills at the bartender, who obviously loved the prospect of washing your dirty dollar bills. No, what really got my goat was that after all that work to get to the bar you: 1. Rooted for that POS and serial batterer of women, Mayweather; and 2. Ordered a Bud Light. Seriously? You must really love that slogan “Up for Whatever” because you have no respect for beer. Or women. But it does warm my heart to know that someone who roots for a boxer with the nickname “Money” doesn’t have any.

NSIDE TWO steel tanks, murky liquid ferments into what will be the first batch of beer produced at Santa Clara Valley Brewing’s new home, an under-construction warehouse on an industrial stretch of Alma Avenue. Head brewer Steve Donohue says the IPA—which he describes as light-bodied, with “a slight tropical hoppiness”—should be ready by the time the taproom opens for business later this month. “I think we’ll call it Coyote Creek IPA,” says brewery CEO Tom Clark, who journals a running list of beer names inspired by local landmarks. “It’ll have all the flavor of an IPA, with a lighter alcohol content.” After two years producing beer at nearby Hermitage Brewery, Clark and Donahue have finally found a home base. “The timing is great,” says Clark in the unfinished taproom, a clutter of dust, plywood, drills, nails and the bare bones of a bar. “What it allowed us to do is test the market … and cultivate a following.” While contracting production to Hermitage, Santa Clara Valley Brewing released a number of porters, pilsners, IPAs and stouts, limited releases and perennial favorites, like the hop-heavy Electric Tower IPA and the malty New Almaden Red. Clark and Donohue, an award-winning brewer with two decades in the industry, built up notoriety as well as a network of liquor stores, grocers, restaurants and brewpubs to distribute their product. But having a physical space pulls it all together, says Clark, who envisions working with industry colleagues to build up a brewery district. It’s a start: Hermitage, Clandestine and Strike breweries all sit about a quarter-mile away from each other. “This is an ideal location for breweries,” says Clark, a home brewer for decades before diving into the business full-time. “A light industrial neighborhood close to downtown, close to sports facilities.” On a tour of the new brewery, Donohue walks me through the beer-making process, which starts with a towering grain-filled silo out back. From various types and blends of malted barley, he makes the sugary wort. The antecessor to the facility’s inaugural brew pours through an elaborate network of pipes and tanks. It’s alternately cooked, mixed, hopped and fermented as Donohue’s alchemy transforms water and grain into bubbly booze. Brewing takes all of a day or two. Fermenting, a few or more weeks. In the final stage of the process, carbon dioxide bubbles out into bright orange buckets of water, giving off the baked-bread smell of flocculent yeast. “That’s where we’re at with this IPA,” Donohue says, tapping the fermenting tank to offering me a taste of the not-quite-yet beer, which shoots out a frothy liquid still cloudy with hops and yeast sediment. “Something new for our grand opening.”—Jennifer Wadsworth SANTA CLARA VALLEY BREWING COMPANY 101 E.

REVIEW
MONTAGE MO NTAGE OF H HECK ECK
FATHER-ZOMBIE BOND In ‘Maggie,’ Arnold Schwarzenegger plays Wade, a simple farmer, who defies doctors’ orders after his daughter is infected with ‘necroambulism.’
Emo and Undead THERE ARE ELEMENTS in Henry Hobson’s Maggie that could have brought some freshness, even to what surely must be the five-millionth zombie movie. But there aren’t enough of these elements to really make it breathe—in the end, it turns into a dying-teen movie with particularly grisly makeup. It shouldn’t be a surprise that co-producer Arnold Schwarzenegger can act. Here, as in 1999’s End of Days, there are moments when he appears as the American cinema’s answer to Max von Sydow—a man on bleak and familiar terms with death. Unfortunately, to get Schwarzenegger, Hobson had to take him with dyed hair. The coiffure seems a bit fancy, given the epidemic-in-Kansas setting. Schwarzenegger is Wade, an American prairie farmer of a near future during a plague of “necroambulism.” The familiar zombie symptoms creep up on a sufferer slowly—loss of appetite giving way to wheezing and an ultimate ravenousness. Wade has retrieved his daughter, Maggie (Abigail Breslin), who ran away from the farm to the city to escape hurting her loved ones. Now she’s under close watch
by her family and the local cops, who are, for a time, allowing her to stay out of the quarantine camps. Maggie is estranged from her friends; they don’t know how to handle her now that she’s infected. Maggie has some dramatic Maggie potential, concerning a runaway daughter’s PG-13; 95 Mins. discomfort when she’s Camera 12 returned home. But Hobson’s angles on the material are relentlessly familiar. Schwarzenegger is a wise, perfect, concerned father, in a tight bond with Maggie’s stepmother (Joely Richardson). Hanging out at the reservoir at night, the stiff young adults talk to each other like the ’50s teens in a monster film— mild complaints all around. They’re not going to any extremes, even as the world is falling apart. Maggie is dim, hand-held and semifocussed on sunsets over these barren fields. The plants are blighted too, and farmers are burning their crops. Smoke is in the air. It’s as dark as a non-Russian movie gets, but it’s not deep: this consideration of a plague is more gloomy than affecting.—Richard von Busack

STEPHEN CURRY and Co. uncorked the roars at Oracle Arena on Sunday, putting on a clinic in three-pointers, breakaway dunks and timely thefts during the first game of the NBA Western Conference Semifinals. But, the energy of that victory wasn’t supplied solely by the men on the court and their adoring fans. Credit is also due to a man few would likely recognize—a behind-the-scenes expert who dials up the excitement with music. DJ D-Sharp, the official DJ of the Golden State Warriors, keeps the crowd and the players hyped—not by orchestrating the chipper thuds of in-game noise that lead the familiar tribal chants of “De-Fense!” and “Let’s Go, Oakland!”—but with a livemixed set, which he spins as the players warm up. “In any sport, when the (players) walk into the arena, they got their headphones on” says D-Sharp, a.k.a. Derrick Robinson. “The marriage between sports and music is something you can’t deny. They go hand in hand.” Once the game begins, D-Sharp heads to section 122 to prepare for his fourth quarter set. He believes this second set has the power to change the direction of a game. “The other night, they were down,” he says. “So, I mixed that Drake sample— ‘Steph Curry with the shot’—with something from the Bay Area. The crowd got into it. Next thing you know, the team started going.” His role in inspiring the crowd and the players has not gone unnoticed.

“David Lee, Shaun Livingston, even Luke Walton, they come over and ask me ‘what do you got today?’” he says, adding that he didn’t realize his work on the ones and twos had much of an impact. “They appreciate it. And, I never knew that. I just do it as a job. But, those guys need it to get pumped up.” Rocking an arena is a unique challenge, D-Sharp says. “In the club you can let a song play. But, during the game, I can only play like maybe half a verse, then go to the hook, and from that into another beat over this new hook. Then, some oldies to please everyone.”

In 2001, the Warriors were among the pioneering teams to sanction a DJ. Back then, DJ Solomon ran the show. Solomon, a friend and influencer, brought D-Sharp for guest spots at games, and introduced him to digital mixing.
since 1993
Three years ago, Solomon passed after a car accident during a tour in Thailand. It was a bittersweet opportunity for D-Sharp, who took his mentor’s place. Since then, D-Sharp has emphasized distinctive spinning.

“I like to showcase what a DJ can really do,” he said. “When I get those chances, I gotta captivate the crowd. I want people to know this is D-Sharp.”—John Flynn
