I'm not a dick.
Zen session pale ale from rhinegeist brewery. Now some Elijah Craig 12 for nd game.
Lagunitas Olde Gnarlywine.
Going to be in the Bay area for work this week. Thinking of taking a ride up to Santa Rosa. Any good breweries in the area?
My final 4
3 Floyds
Oscar Blues
The Alchemist
Sweetwater
Outrageous that 3 Floyds isn't the 1 seed in the Midwest.
I'm with wooly on West and Midwest (West a toughter call though). I'd go with Dogfish Head and Cigar City in the East and South, although I'll admit that those are my weakest regions in terms of my ability to celebrate the breweries' entire catalogs.
I think Devil's Backbone is the only beer in the South region I've ever heard of.
Oh I know your bias, at least it's defensible. My boss has heard of most of the beers in the South, so that makes me feel a bit better that that bracket wasn't screwed up.I've never had a single beer from the South Region, only a handfull from the East or Midwest, but all from the west, which is a stacked ass region imo, but both my experience and opinion are based in Los Angeles so......
Pliny last night.
Tonight some Alpine Duet IPA and perhaps more Pliny.
What did you think of the Duet? I am jealous.
A really terrific beer. Wouldn't have heard of the company if you hadn't brought it up, so thanks!
