    I'd love to do an East Coast tour. I've been lucky enough to visit a lot of great ones on this side of the map, and I have found some of the best breweries I have been to were the least likely. Having said that, I think it should be on everyone's list to see Anchor, whether you like their beers or not. Cheers!

    I agree on Anchor. When I'm in SF, I drink mostly Anchor Steam..... out of historical allegiance, and I really like it!

    I would like to spend about 2 weeks in Bavaria, down into Austria a bit, and up to the Czech Republic... I could easily find many new favorites. I urge everyone who has the opportunity to visit Sierra Nevada in Mills River, N.C.
