William, won’t be making it to Slow Food, going to Bodega Bay and having a little Kolsch tasting at the house. Fridge door full (or half full) of te stuff.

James. Marin Brewing in Larkspur and Moylans are quality breweries with good food. A little pricey, but you’re in Marin, what else do you expect. They can be found right off the 101, so easy to get to.

Hey William, Where can you recommend in marin for a sit down and drink good craft ale. Also do you know of a store in marin that I can pick up some rare, tasty or specialty brews?
Thanks

On the Smoked Porter. At the GABF three years ago, Alaska did a vertical tasting of many of their smoked porters. I was fascinated, the differences were striking. I’d always consumed any that I bought immediately. But I decided to restrain myself and so far I have.

Saving ‘em for special occasions, company, a holiday like Thanksgiving, a football game, whenever the spirit moves me. I intend to let the cider sit for a year or two more.

OK Jackthebrewer….I was only listing the refrigerator door. In the refrigerator, besides a lot of Diet Coke (wife and daughter) and bottled weater, I have a half bottle of Sam Adams Utopias, a couple of Cantillons, some homebrewed apple cider from a friend, some Hook & Ladder Brown Ale. Drank my last bottle of a friend’s homebrew a week ago.. Oh yeah, a big bottle of Duvel, two bottles of Orval, one a year old, one recently purchased. And one bottle of Budweiser American Ale. No Pliny or Blind Pig, dank it all, need to restock.

Homemade blackberry lambic sounds wild and tasty, but I’m hanging onto the the Schooners for the long haul. The founder, Shawn Burns, sold the brewpub, but I think they’re still making their barleywine and have some older bottles for sale. Worth checking. 925-776-1800. Thanks for the offer though.

To Easong, allmost all those IPAs have gone through my fridge. But funny thing, I tend to drink them immediately. You have a tasty fridge.
