Has anyone had St. Peter's Organic English Ale? It comes in a funny 500 mL bottle that is shaped kind of like a flask. The beer itself is interesting. Feels kind of thick and has very little carbonation. Still good though, I'll probably pick one up every once in a while.
Oh, and don't go trying to pour the whole bottle straight into a pint glass, as 500 mL is just a wee bit more than a pint

omgz Marin Brew Co's Hefe Doppel Weizen is awesome. It's so awesome I want to freeze it in the winter, skate on it, then thaw it out in the spring time and drink it!
I think I'm going to watch beerfest!

Jacob, how are your brews coming along? My light ale is bottled, but either I messed up my readings when I brewed it, or More Beer's expectations of the kit are off, because I came out with 5.37% ABV instead of barely over 4% as the kit predicted! I also brewed my Scottish Ale yesterday evening, and at some point during it's fermentation I'll go get a 5 gallon carboy for a secondary.
Oh, and I meant to put some flaked barley in it, but I forgot to get some from More Beer.

There is also Steelhead Brewing Co right across the street from the Burlingame Caltrain station as well as Speakeasy in SF which I have been dying to go to...

ATTENTION SIERRA NEVADA DRINKERS
I am going to need tons of empty (although you can also donate full ones) Sierra Nevada bottles for home brew christmas 6-packs for 8 to 10 people (48-60 bottles) so if anyone in the South Bay wants to help be out and donate empty bottles just stick them in a bag and I'll come by and pick them up. The closer to Sunnyvale the better.
