Oakland CA – Miscellaneous
No photos, alas, but descriptions of four beers I’ve had here so far. #1 was a East Bay IPA by Ale Industries, a local brewery. This one really surprised me because it was so well balanced and tasty, without a …
Great Basin Brewing, Reno NV
TL;DR – The food and beer were good, but the service was sub-par. The short version on the service is that I was seated at a table where I sat and sat and finally got up and went back to …
Bewilder Brewery, Salt Lake City UT
I was telling the guy at Bewilder how much different SLC looked from the last time I was here (frankly, I’m surprised I can even remember back that far) and he was saying how many breweries have popped up here …

My Homebrew Tap List
