Just a Stone’s Throw Away…

July 24, 2018 by Deano

I'm typically for the underdog. I love going to tiny, local places, where the owner/brewers have sunk everything they have into a few tanks and a small bar, and are thrilled to see you and share their creations. Larger players with a national, even world-wide reach?  Generally, a pass.

Beer Preserves: Bay Area History, and I’m a Thief

March 24, 2014 by Deano

I'm a plagiarist. Okay, not in the literal stealing-multiple-paragraphs-and-presenting-them-as-my-own sense.  But I am definitely stealing someone else's idea.  And running with it. More on that in a bit.  First, if you're as devoted to beer and history (and therefore the history of beer) as I am, there are two sites you need to check out.  Immediately. Brian … [Read more...] about Beer Preserves: Bay Area History, and I’m a Thief
