Sigh…I own a crazy busy shop, am 38 years old, have two kids with a lot of activities between them. With that said, bars aren’t usually on the schedule, so I couldn’t give you the faintest idea of who has decent beers on tap, other than the Amherst Alehouse and Pizza Plant.
However, my beerfridge selection is typically better than most bars, and for the price of 3 normal beers in most places, I can buy a 6-pack of Ruination.
I’m still working on getting a 6-pack of Russian River Brewing’s Pliny the Younger and Pliny the Elder beers. I owe one to a guy down at Consumer’s Southtowns who helped me out with something a while ago. If I get any, I’ll be happy to sell them for $15/bottle.

So what you are saying is we can come to your house and drink your beer. Meanwhile once you are nice and drunk I can convince you to do work on my M5 on the cheap. WIN!!! lol

A good friend of mine who is a big home brewer set up a tasting at Empire Grill a few months back. They were cool with us bringing in a few coolers of our own beer and ordering their food. Next time he does a tasting I can post up the details as we’re always looking for more beer geeks to share the good times with. Here’s his rolling-cart brewery in the works…

I hear ya, I’m just as apt to crack a few on the deck with some friends and food as I am to go out, however when I do go out I like to know I have the option to get something better than piss to drink.
The Pliny’s are def good! Where are you getting yours from?

Someone I cycle with has and Aragant Bastard Ale jersey and I was always curious how the beer was as I was staring at the jersey climbing some retarded hill. Don’t think it would be my type of beer. I am all about the Sam Adams Summer Ales, drinking a few as I type post ride, SOOOOO good.

Here’s how I like to rate beer: If Sam Adams Summer Ale is in 5th grade…Arrogant Bastard is a senior in High School, and Dogfish Raison D’etre is about to graduate college:)

LOL yeah they both have diff purposes for me. I like the bitterness and hops flavor of the arragont for outdorrs and summer days. The Dogfish for a few to start the night or with a nice meal. Also I drink a good amount of Fat Tire, Rogue Dead Guy Ale and a few other Rogue beers all the time.

Ok, with regards to the Arogant Bastard Ale, Cougar and Mike. Is it similar in taste to Franziskaner?

Negative much more hoppy and bitter I guess is the only way to describe it. Like an IPA that has been loaded full of awesome. I loved the Oaked stuff from last weekend. I will consume more tomorrow. Also both dogfish and stone beers in general are quite a bit more potent which I like.

Some beer store in San Diego. Can’t remember the name of it off the top of my head.

Yep, I usually keep an Arrogant, a Double Bastard and an Oaked in the fridge door most of the time. Awesome stuff.

You could always spring for a Chimay Blue. Can’t go wrong there.

Also a regular in my fridge. Second down, far right.

Awesome. Pic taken by a another forum friend in Southern Cal.
Right now, in the shopping cart, to be shipped to me. Don’t care the cost.

Thanks, but here’s the way I look at it.
I can go out to…I dunno, whereever, and order some half-assed beer(s). Say a Sam Adams/Yuengling/Sierra Nevada/Etc. And I have 3 of these things, go to cash out, and round my bill up to about 20 bucks. And I can do this a few times/month and easily spend over 100 bucks.
Or I can go to a decent beer store, or hit up some helpful friends, and spend $150-200/month for some really kick-ass stuff that fills the beerfridge.
It’s a no-brainer in my book.

a couple more random pics from recent times
Picked this up a cpl months ago:
This stuff is AMAZINGLY good:
How about a stout that hits you directly in the face with an anvil?
And if you’re adventurous with regards to tastes, get this a few times, since they all taste slightly different due to the crazy malts they use for it

Yeah, I get em at the grocery store. I’ve even seen it in cans!
I love it though, they started pushing it a lot in this area. Almost every bar that I frequent has it on tap.
