New RR hoppy blonde "Apical Dominance" is hella good.

It came to my atttention that not everyone in this thread knows about Slowhand BBQ in PH. Check them out if/when you ever get on the other side of the tunnel. A lot of love goes into the food, and dude came from the local beer fam. You might recognize some faces:

Best brisket in the east-east bay! Beer selection is always solid af. Their lunch special burger is amazing as well. Highly recc
Sauced and most of the other bbq spots in the area are good/meh

 

[beerandraiderfan]

I counted one time that they had 34 varietals of apples for sale. That place is amazing.

One of my good buddies and his partner are obsessed with it. He pointed out how frequently Leslie does that awkard motion with her hands like she just got done daintily tying a bow on a package, how enthused she gets about any kind of alcohol, and how you can always expect close-ups of food on a turning fork held by an unsteady hand. The last ones might be the weirdest. They've been making this **** forever and they can't find one steady hand in their crew?

 

[loeyjarko]

Where is PH lmao

 

[rrryanc]

Where is PH lmao

Pleasant Hill, so basically Canada.

That's a woman's calf? Any idea what kind of routine she has? Asking for a friend.

No shout outs of her cleavage? I'm disappointed .

I saw that one (Pete's Wicked!) and the place does look great. Pleasant Hill is so far out of the way for me, tho. Someday...

Is that Leslie forreal?!? She's such a coug...

I love it when a show opens and you can tell it's like 10 years old because of her hair and/or clothes.

 

[Oaklandtraders]

So we get MBC distro now? I guess this is what happens when you’re in the NE and your NE hazy game isn’t hazy enough for your local market.

With any luck, Reality Czech next!

Lagunitas Brewing Co. of Petaluma, owned by beer giant Heineken International, bought a 50 percent stake of Moonlight in 2016, but Hunt said its executives have allowed him to grow the brand organically and not push for aggressive benchmarks that would be required for investors such as banks or private equity. He’s on pace to increase production modestly to 3,500 barrels this year.

“The plan is not to go crazy and just do it right,” Hunt said. He added that he would like to put other beers, such as his Reality Czech pilsner, into cans in the future.

[bobsacamano1]

And today. Pretty psyched on this, Reality Czech will be great to have in cans.

I think it will start being a regular release.

 

[hideout]

beer rev had it on saturday, a good amount too so it should still be around. fwiw when i went to moonlight a couple weeks ago, the bartender said they'd probably start off doing cans quarterly and see where it goes from there, but i'd like to see it around more often too.

 

[chemman141]

How are those death and taxes cans? I heard rumors of them being brewed/canned at Lagunitas.

This did make me laugh, but also reminded me of the micro-homerism that my SF friends are often guilty of. Right up there with loving their baseball team only when they're winning, it's an impressively unbecoming trait.

I fall into that trap living in the East Bay when it comes to traveling to SF. You better be my very best friend on their death bed, or family to get me to trek into SF on a weekend. It just takes so ******* long, is stressful, no parking, etc... I'll happily traverse Grizzly Peak into Deep East Bay tho.

They need to invent some kind of transportation vehicle. It could be autonomous or someone else could drive it. There could be stops in the East Bay and stops in SF for example. You could hop on this imaginary machine and be transported from say, Fruitvale or North Berkeley, underneath the bay, to a stop say at Powell and Market. Now it won't the cheapest or most convenient, but might work in a pinch to get to SF on a weekend without people who might use it for work.

Also, what if there was a similar type of vehicle and it could carry people over water. Probably slow and expensive too.

Probably terrible ideas. People will bitch about it online and compare it to something the Japanese could come up with or some jabroni in New York.

Srs question, how often are you using BART on the weekends? It's the worst and takes for ******* ever.

Also, everything is better in the East Bay and we all know this. Breweries, hiking, weather, ppl, sports, BBQ, & women.

Once or twice a month. But I am a sadist for public transportation suffering on Caltrain for years.

Only thing East Bay does well is papusas. Hard pass on all the other #fakenews.

BART on weekend is fine. The 20 minutes between trains sucks, but just check before you leave the house and adjust accordingly. It ain't that hard. Plus there's nothing more liberating than not having a car.

I stole the "joke" from the San Diego thread, which often talks about anything North County as being Canada.

That said, Pleasant Hill is an hour from my house, with no traffic. I'm likely not shuttling out that far for just a BBQ spot. I don't think it's any better or worse than where I live, it's just far.

I've been liberated for 10 yrs.

Disagree with Bart being fine on the weekends though. It's god awful, but appears I have the unpopular opinion.
