You should totally try to make it out. It's a great club, especially if you are new to brewing as the demos and discussion are geared towards new brewers.

Nice Wolfdust! I grew up in Hanford, but was Married in Laton where my wife's family lives.

Hey new Central California brewers! Take a look at http://sjworthogs.org for our November meeting date.

Not sure what you have up in that area, but Modesto is only about an hour or so from Concord, so you could always head over to MoreBeer. If you join a club, they give you a 10% discount in store.

My copy showed up last night. So far a great read. I have an out of town meeting tomorrow, so I'm looking forward to hiding in my hotel room and immersing myself in it tonight! Congats!

Have you had anything from The Bruery, Cascade, Almanac or the Rare Barrel yet? They are all doing fantastic sours.

That's a great shop. I found it sort of accidentally when I was in the city but had to leave before noon so wouldn't be able to get to City Beer since they didn't open until noon. At the time, I was at my sisters who lived at 15th and Geary, so it was perfect!

Is Ales Unlimited the one in Japantown? That's great bottleshop that you would never really guess was there.

Yes! Just kidding ;-) You don't have to like these beers just because a lot of us do. That Anchorage Galaxy White is a fantastic beer IMO but doesn't mean you are going to like it. I tend to like the cat-pissy simcoe beers as well. It's just a flavor profile that I enjoy. Often times...

Going to brew a batch this weekend. May go with a different yeast. I'll keep you posted. I even have a few bottles of the pig to compare to.

This is one of those things, that when it comes down to it, makes a lot of sense... We've just always been taught to transfer, etc, etc.. There's no reason this can't be the next trend in homebrewing :-)

Yes, we did! I'm not Tommy, I'm the big ugly ****er that sat next to him :D

LOL - Justin and JP in that ford commercial is a crack up. I remember listing to that session episode after they filmed that... Great stuff...

House of Pendragon Brewing Co. Live in Fresno and Tommy (the owner/brewer) is really making some fantastic beers!

Yes. I won't aerate when it's still hot. I transfer it hot to a cube and get all the air bubbles out. Then in the morning I will transfer to the fermenter and shake aerate it.

This is the reason I've gone no-chill this year. Haven't had any problems yet.

You really should make the time. They often have taproom only releases (100% Barrel DBA on nitro! :rockin:) and some pretty good food. Worth even just a quick drop in for a beer before hitting the hills to get back to the valley.

Totally! Did you sign up for the crawl yet? You don't want to miss it.

Demo starts at 10am. General meeting at 12pm. You are welcome any time after 10 ;-). Hope to see you there.

Now you need to come to a meeting ;-)
