Elk Horn Brewing, Eugene OR
This wasn’t my first choice, but it was open and I actually enjoyed it, so that’s all good! It was an interesting place with friendly people. I was a little about it being essentially a “university bar” given the proximity to …
Ghost Town Brewing, Oakland CA
For various reasons, just Daria and I visited here for lunch, but we took a shocking amount of beer back to the house with us for later and to leave for future consumption. Ghost Town has two locations; this one …
Iron Springs Brewing, Fairfax CA
All of us stopped here after driving around the countryside for a while on the day we tried to go to the state park. Iron Springs has a nice grouping of outside tables right on the (Northampton-like) main street and …
Oakland CA – Miscellaneous, part 2

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 …

I’ll start with the food – because of the long drive, I actually ate lunch and had too much of it, so I just had a small appetizer (fried wontons with bacon, cheddar, and cream cheese with a ranch dipping …
Barn Town Brewing, West Des Moines IA
In the interest of full disclosure, I was born in Iowa, a fact I rarely admit to. We moved away shortly after my 3rd birthday, and ever since I was given a puzzle of the US states as a child, …
Small City Taphouse, Sandusky OH
This is a puzzling place, to me, at least. There are no photos of the place itself because frankly it wasn’t anything to write home about. It seems to take up a number of old storefronts on downtown Sandusky, but …
