OT: (Octoberfest Topic) Note: This post is for those reading this thread from their PalmPilots thismorning while driving around northern california with or without GPS devices looking for brewpubs. Yes I do, umlauts and all (two breweries within 15 miles of here). However my particular poison this prognosticating period is Stoddards Pale Ale, nicely hopped, and bought in a 1/2 gallon jug... There are around a half dozen in that radius around me. Closest to home is Moylans. Word to know; Paddy's Irish Red (yum). The garlic fries there are the best. All the food is good though. They should really branch out. Sugar Magnolia and me make a point of playing pool together at least once and usually twice a week. Then it's the local saloon and pints of Boonville Boont Amber Ale from Mendocino. Pretty good stuff. You probably know Lagunitas (Dogtown Pale Ale and IPA). The IPAs pretty good. If you like hoppy, the new Broken Drum brewery in San Rafael has some well crafted stuff. We tend toward the reds and ambers and they have this particularly potent brew called "Whamber" which is worth the stop. Pacific Brewing (Willow St. Pizza) down the street is un-remarkable. Let's virtually drive north:(past Petaluma) Now REALLY hoppy is the 3'rd street brewpub in Santa Rosa. Go there on a Weds at 5:00pm to get the garlic butter oysters right off the grill (ahhhh). Next stop, Hopland. I'm not a big fan of Red Tail Ale, but we're halfway to Humboldt at this point and we have to make a pit stop at Mendo Brewing because of legacy beer issues at the bladder level, Ooops, another pint. So as much as I'd like to cut over to the Anderson Valley and Philo (where that Boont Amber comes from), we're going north on 101 with a singular focus. There's a little tiny brewpub called "Aunt Katies Beer Garden" or something right as you get into the trees outside of Legget. I've never stopped there. I don't know why. So over the Eel and through the woods (what's left of 'em) we're going to stop at The Eel River Brewing company in Fortuna to see what they've got. It's new and was only so-so when I stopped there before, but we're in SoHum, it's a full 40 minutes to Eureka and we're thirsty! Okay, you drive. Next stop - Eureka Brewing company (a pool table, yay!). You probably know Downtown Brown. I like the Alley Cat Amber and I have some empty growlers behind the seat of the yellow Pokemon truck that need refilling. It's $3 each. We'll take it! Duane Flatmo does their art. He's the best artist I know. Okay, back in the (whoa!) truck. We're both driving (collaboratively). Still north to the end destination. Now, Mad River Brewing company has this stuff called Jamaica Red which I really like, but that's not where we're going. We're going to Arcata and Humboldt Brewery. There, in the middle of the tap array, right next to the Hemp Ale is --Red Nektar. Now, you can get Red Nektar in stores but it's NOTHING like what's on tap there live. So... let's just savor that Red Nektar (virtually) here. I'll pick up here where we left off later. :) Urp! -JCJ
