    I was just there on Sunday, I didn't really see anything. I came home empty handed which is rare when I am there.

    Does anyone else read Beaver Brewing Co's website for updates? Here are some tidbits:

    "Our French Biere De Garde is REALLY clean…almost pilsner like beer. I like to describe it as very “beer like”. Clean, not malty, not hoppy, a bit floral, but very beer. Easiest drinker out there."

    "One of my personal favorite beers at the brewery will be pouring this weekend. The Brown Note is an English Brown made with a unique seasonal malt which adds an incredibly unique “Brown” flavor to the beer."

    I visited this place one time shortly after I moved to the area. Descriptions like these don't exactly make me wonder what a "brown" flavor is. Maybe I'm being too harsh and should pay another visit? I am in that area from time to time.

    Well I'm glad one of their beers is "beer like".

    If you don't lose your pants when you drink a RIS, then it must have been a shitty RIS.

    No.

    Again no.

    It's pretty funny that since this site went back to having only reviews count towards scores that Beaver Brewing is the highest rated brewery in the region.

    Anyone ever been to Morgantown brewing? I will be visiting there this Saturday. Expectations are pretty low.

    I didn't get the memo that this was today's topic, so I'm unprepared...but does anyone else have an especially sub par brewery they'd like to mention this morning? :stuck_out_tongue:

    I'm headed to San Diego this weekend. Does anyone have any recommendations of some equally woeful breweries out there I should go to? I'm looking for something with that "Pittsburgh" taste - probably a nut brown ale or a belgian wit.

    This is the first time the wife and I haven't gone for the past four years--brother in law lives outside of LA, so we usually have less than 48 hours to do a blitzkrieg on as many breweries as practical in the greater SD area. Sure I don't need to reiterate that it'll be tons of fun.

    Hahah. So stupid. I personally love all of Cary S's reviews. I'm from Irwin so I wanted to check out Couch Brewery, but bush league stuff like this makes me think otherwise.
