Picked up my first beers from 21st Amendment today, the Watermelon Wheat and their IPA. I must say I'm impressed and its the first beer in a can that I've bought in a while

Also grabbed some Liberty Ale. Woot!

Bo got it in the can!

How do you like the WW? I wasn't a fan of that one, but the Brew Free or Die is pretty good. They only have one other one in production, and I think it is Belgian. We need to organize a pub crawl in the city though. Last time I was there, 5 out of the 7 beers on tap were IPA's, but I was driving

Not so much a fan of the WW, doesn't so much taste like the fruit as it does the rind. IPA is delish tho. Haven't had the liberty ale in quite a while, forgot how tasty it is

Gonna be in da city this weekend actually

One of my favorite brews which absolutely must be consumed in a glass to properly enjoy it's hop aroma. I sincerely hope the new owners don't mess with the beer recipes at all. I'm fine with an expanded product line of additional beers and spirits, but leave well enough alone with the current line up!

^Same brewers/company, just new owners who claim they won't change a thing. Hopefully they keep their word

To me it tasted like a jolly rancher dropped in a wheat beer. Neither of which I'm too fond of

Bump....I know you ****** haven't stopped drinking beer....

...coastal fog IPA-definitely not bad for $2.79 for a 22oz. Much better than the Ranger IPA.

There used to be this brewery/bar in downtown Napa where you'd keep a card there with all these different beers on it (like 100+) and every time you went in they'd pull your card and stamp whichever ones you tried. Fill up the card once and they keep a mug there with your name on it. I was told once that they moved to a different location but don't know what happened or even if they're still in business as this was in '99 or '00. Anyone know of any places like this in the bay or what happened to the one above?

Stop? God no! Maybe the lack of posting is from drinking TOO MUCH!

Had a big Lagunitas Hop Stoopid last weekend. That and a big burrito and I fell into a hop induced coma on the couch. Good times.
