The Official Bay Area Beer Thread
Oh BTW I drank one of my Jubels - ended up with an extra so I put it in my face. The first couple sips were really good but honestly it would be cheaper to just punch me in the face. Probably a good sharing beer? Speaking of getting punched, I need to pick up some more Pliny.

Jacob, I was thinking the same thing about the Sierra 30th Stout and the Deschutes Abyss. Those, along with the Jubel are going to have to be sharing beers.
Bo, good call with the Scotch!

No clue about Tuesday, may go down to Gilroy to put my summer wheels back on. BTW, I realized I forgot to bring your IIPA last week!

Sat at Rock Bottom and had two big H-Bomb IPA's while watching the Sharks put the Avalanche out of the series last week. I'm hoping that beer stays on the menu a while.
A buddy of mine will be in town, so if you're free we can all go grab a beer or something
Definitely tasty stuff.

So Jacob picked up the stuff to clean/prep/store the cask until we're ready to throw an English IPA in it. 
Also, tonight I ordered the ingredients for my next brew, a (German?) Pilsner. Should be a little above 5% ABV. I think I'll call it "Take Your Pils" but that may change.

According to Corona, (NOTE: THAT’S FROM CORONA ITSELF) the reason for the lime is that “Corona is bottled in clear glass, and before our modern methods of refrigeration and transportation, the opportunity for spoilage from exposure to sunlight was increased. Therefore, the lime technique began as a measure to mask the skunky aromas caused by spoilage.”
So to paraphrase: “Our product spoils. We know it spoils, and we have taught people to put fruit in their beer to mask the fact that it is actually spoiled.”
