Great Time to be a Bay Area BA

Plus lots of new breweries. I just had Berryessa's Cali Common and it was by far the best of that style I've ever had. I think it was my favorite beer that night, and we were drinking Hill Farmstead...

 

Sweet. I was just thinking about Compunction the other day. Knew Hopfather was coming, but not that one.

 

Looks like Compunction is on now at RR.... want.

 

Oh hell yes. I'm definitely getting a growler of Tartare this weekend!

 

I wonder if they're doing growlers. I tried the previous (first?) batch at -tion night, but would like to try it fresh.

 

They rarely, if ever do growlers for sours. I wouldn't be shocked to see it on the board during T25 party, though.

 

Good point.

 

Don't forget the IPA fest this Saturday at The Bistro. I planned on skipping it, but got asked to volunteer for the event.

I never turn down free beer.

 

Compunction is tasting amazing, bordering on how much I love Supplication and Beatification amazing.

I think drinking a 3F Oude Gueuze before some more Compunction this evening is exactly what this 80+ degree day demands. I'll have to pick up some of the Aroma Coma soon, maybe even the perfect excuse to drive to Santa Rosa.

 

This time I'm going to meet you.

 

Fo sho!!! Maybe Arbi as well...we keep missing each other.

 

The hilarious thing is the first time we didn't meet I drank your beer! Diego gave me a pour of a Rare you brought.

 

Ha ha, that's right....for The Saloon's grand opening/reopening/thing.

 

I'll be at Bistro this weekend as well. Looking forward to it

 

What's T25?

It's the successor to T20, five years later.

 

Did I read correctly they are going to have 3L bottles of it as well?

 

Probably. I assume absolutely none will be for sale. I'm sure David Keene and some friends will get some, and then the Jeroboams will only show up at special parties from here on out.
