beer tastes much better coming from the bottle than it does in a can or a glass. idk why
unfortunately schedule will not permit me to detour down to paso. hopefully i can find some of that stuff at local bars and what not. i have been to the firestone brewery bar at paso before for some beer tasting and a lot of their stuff is pretty solid.Originally Posted by bonde111
Thank you!! Check out Firestone Walker from Paso Robles, CA. Looks like it's a drive from Sonoma, but I'm sure you'll be able to find some bottles easily around the area you'll be traveling. They just released their XV Anniversary beer that is supposed to be mighty good. Parobola by them is amazing too. I've had one other, and that was the Union Jack on tap. These guys know their stuff from the rest of their ratings on BA.

I live in Pennsylvania and even though my favorite is Michelob Amber Bock, I enjoy occasionally picking up a case of Lionshead or Yuengling. It's odd but when I drink it I always feel a connection to home and my childhood (my dad used to always have me sip beers when I was a youngin', it was always Yuengling). On that note, is letting your child take a sip of beer bad parenting?

The proper way is out of a glass, and depending on the beer dictates what type of glass to use. It brings out the flavors much more this way, same with wine.
by no means am i a beer snob as i still enjoy crushing a case of bud light on the golf course (cans or bottles it dont matter). but if i am drinking something with a bit more flavor, i will usually pour it into a proper glass. a solid IPA for instance is much better suited for drinking out of a glass as it really does affect the flavor of the beer.
offtopic (kinda) - for those saying that RR, Stone, Dogfishhead are terrible, can you point me in the right direction of what is good? I'm always looking to branch out and try new IPA's. Heading up to Sonoma, CA for a few days to take the wife wine tasting, and I definitely plan on hitting up the RR Brewery and drink copious amounts of Pliny the Elder.
@RufioRufioRufio--All of those breweries listed make some pretty highly rated beers. Yes Rogue has a lot of hit and misses(I've drank most of what they both offer), and New Belgium is the same for that matter. Dogfish I've only personally tasted their 90 min IPA, and have some Burton Baton that was just delivered to me 2 days ago that I need to try. Can't knock DFH for being very experimental with what they are doing. Mixed reviews on their stuff on BA, but they get a lot of respect for how they run their business, and sheer creativity.
And@your comment about real men drink Bourbon....Please....I really enjoy some Bourbon now and then, but I much prefer Scotch Whiskey, but I'm not going to be ignorant and say you aren't a man if you don't drink Bourbon....I'd be curious as to what your list consists of for beers. I'm not trying to hate on you either, and maybe you were just being funny with your Bourbon comment. just wanting to have a good convo on a topic I love
