'Pliny the Elder' won some microbrew award last year...
I tried it, and found it...good+.
I was mildly disappointed, since I'm an IPA fiend, but this could have been due to the draft system it came from, or the fact that my tastebuds have been destroyed with a regular diet of IPA's.

Worst beer ever? c'mon now, we've all had it. Whatever happened to the Low Brew Society? It ain't good, lessen it costs $1.99 per six-pack.

~PLINY THE ELDER~
Russian River Brewing Company. Pliny the Elder was a Roman naturalist, scholar, historian, traveler, officer, and writer. Although not considered his most important work, Pliny and his contemporaries created the botanical name for hops, "Lupus salictarius", meaning wolf among scrubs." Hops at that time grew wild among willows, much like a wolf in the forest. Later the current botanical name, Humulus lupulus, was adopted. Pliny died in 79 AD while observing the eruption of Mount Vesuvius. He was immortalized by his nephew, Pliny the Younger, who continued his uncle's legacy by documenting much of what he observed during the eruption of Mount Vesuvius.
Price: $5.00

Well, I just shared a four pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA, and now I'm into my first Sierra Torpedo.
Mmmmmm, hoppy.

I need a new lager, a good Munich-type lager... west coast style?
There's one available in the PNW -- Roger's Pilsner -- that's pretty good. Don't know if you'll find it in Hellifornia, but you could check.

For Munchen meets California we have these guys in SLO doing German style beers...a good change of pace for hop heads. Distribution wise, they're spreading into LA/OC but I think that's it for now outside of SLO.

Both Climbing and "clash"related beer story.
Murree Brewery was founded in the northern hill station town of Murree in 1860 by two English Edwards, Dyer and Whymper.
Brewed to slake the thirst of Her Majesty's soldiery in their broiling Punjab cantonments, the beer found a grateful market and won its first award, a medal of excellence at the Philadelphia Exhibition, in 1876.
The brewery moved to the garrison city of Rawalpindi in 1910 and business boomed through war and independence until 1977, when the prime minister Zulfikar Ali Bhutto banned alcohol in an effort to court Pakistan's growing conservative Muslim vote.

That's a good one, but if it's a good one, that gives it extra oomph.

Ran across a very good new one yesterday. Hadn't heard of the brewery before, and had to overcome my prejudice against cans, but gave it a try. And was stunned. Really good beer. I mean really good. And cheap. $2.50 for a 16 oz can.
Brewery is Fearless Brewing in some Oregon town (Estacada) I've never heard of. Their Mjolnir IPA is on par with the best.

How many grams of alcohol in these brews? What is the safe limit, grams per day? I like 'em just like as well as the next guy, but I'm starting to take this number into account.

"What is the safe limit, grams per day?"
For an IPA? My limit is usually two. After that, I can't taste anything for the rest of the night.

This is America, so you've got to convert grams per day into six-packs. Not sure how that works, exactly, but I think you double it and add 32? So you're probably okay as long as you keep it under a dozen or so cans.
