I am drinking Lagunitas 'Sucks', which is a very odd name for a beer which so does not suck. It's an imperial West Coast IPA from California, which has a very citrusy hop flavor and aroma. I am not even a big fan of IPAs these days, but this is extremely good.
Well, Cali is definitely home to some of the best craft breweries in the US. Let's see... Stone, Sierra Nevada, Lagunitas, Anderson Valley, Anchor, Russian River, Bear Republic, Firestone Walker... Am I forgetting any?
You are missing Eel River, Six Rivers and Northcoast (If you don't like Old Rasputin I have nothing more to say to you) Next weekend I am going to the Anderson Valley Boonville Beerfest and I am pretty excited about it.
What's that north coast beer, red seal or something? Really good. I almost bought lagunitas tonight. That's funny. But I'm sick of IPAs so I got some cream ale.
I agree with that... they are both really good. For just a mellow summer beer I really enjoy their Blue Star ale as well.
then tonight when i get home from the festival, i'm going to be sipping on some of my homebrew -an imperial porter infused with tequila and spicy chili peppers. I call it 'Santa Maria!"
its easy. i also make my own ciders, fruitwines, and meads. now im learning to make cheese from raw milk and bread from the spent grains i use to brew with
I'm having some red wine tonight, but I couldn't tell you the details of it.. bottle is in the kitchen and the kitchen is too far away from my comfy seat. I only chose this wine because of its pretty label. :blush5: Tastes nice though.
