I used to work at this brewery. Certainly one of the best "microbreweries" around.

learning about "sour" beers...
Ed, if you explore that part of the beer world you will find some of the most interesting and amazing beverages. All kinds of geographic subdivisions and rivalries (West Flanders vs. East Flanders, for example) and debates about just which strains of yeast, and which bacteria, generate the exact flavor and aroma you're looking for -- whether to accompany a meal, to sip on the patio, or to warm you in front of the fire.
Tremendously fascinating subject for both brewers and drinkers, and about as far from corporate swill as it is possible to get.

For all the So. Cal. pliney lovers, my friends brewery, bootleggers in Fullerton ca. Will be releasing their "knuckle sandwich" DIPA again this weekend. Many have said they think it's as good, or possible better than pliney. Either way, that are awesome people, and making great local craft beer. Stop by next time your in the area...

Strange,
Bootleggers has a retailer a mile away in Slobovia (between Arcadia and Monrovia).
I'm on my way!

Had some Belgian IPA last night, not bad, but 7% alc vol was a surprise, not that I minded.
I miss the PNW and hanging at my local McMenamins....ah Hammerhead, or a nice Ruby when raspberries are in season.

Reilly-- awesome!! I hope they get some of the knuckle, it'll probably be limited to one bottle, as it's kind of gained a cult status here. The rest of their beer is quite good as well, the black phoenix is one of my faves...

The best ratio between price and quality is achieved at the "beer for free" point.

YES!
It's that time of year again!
( I found some two years in a row in August at the same liquor store - I can't tell you where, for obvious reasons )

Tried a new (to me) Belgian tonight - Saison Dupont- unfiltered farmhouse ale.
In a word, albeit overused and nigh unto trite, awesome!

Well, there's a fresh keg of Pilsner waiting for you at Chateau Pisse de Chat tonight, and the glasses are chilled.

Made the trek Saturday to The Russian River Pub and stood in line for 3.5 hours to try Pliny The Younger. It was a good day.... good pizza, good friends, good beer. I haven't tried a lot of the beer mentioned here so I won't compare but the Pliny The Younger is great stuff. No doubt about it.
As you were,
