Official BARF BEER Crew

[Jdizzy92]

I did a search and didn't find a thread that was dedicated to just beer talk.
With the explosion of micro breweries in the bay area, what are you guys drinking now? Any of you guys brewing at home? What is your favorite Brewery? I am of course drinking Pliny the Elder from Russian River and sours from The Rare Barrel.

Why did Napa Point close?

 

[Kurosaki]

Any recommendations for Breweries in Sacramento?

 

[i_am_the_koi]

Why did Napa Point close?

Right after the earthquake.

They are planning on reopening a gastropub downtown in the old tannery though

The female brewmaster there is doing some amazing stuff.

Napa Smith is good too for a tasting if you're in town. I don't like what they are distributing but tasting there is a lot of fun

Is she single?

 

[Jdizzy92]

Sante Adairius is releasing bottles of their West Ashley. Suppose to be one of the best sours in the USA.

 

[i_am_the_koi]

Alexander Valley Brewery in Boonville is a great excuse for a ride

Ukiah Brewing is ok, I hate their food though

 

[Jdizzy92]

Damn, where you live at? That shit is hella north from here.

Track 7

 

[i_am_the_koi]

I'm in Petaluma now, never ride south when there are sooooo many good roads north.


Downtown Joes is a great spot for LUNCH in Napa, avoid it for dinner at all cost.



Mt St Helena Brewing in Middletown is good though service can be spotty.

Lagunitas is where I normally go locally if I want a brewery, just for the stouts.

Track 7

Oh I've been to this one. Didn't know the name. Just had the address and followed my GPS.

Went there with my coworkers for a happy hour recently.
