Post by: mattb on April 27, 2010, 08:40:22 PM I just did the tour a couple weeks ago -- neat place, I hope they maintain the sort of spirit that Maytag had in rebuilding the brewery in the 60's and 70s.

Research due. Title: Re: Will Anchor Steam suck next year? Post by: Desmostro on April 30, 2010, 04:01:02 AM I'll let you know. I live almost next door.
I got to tell you, on hops roasting days it's heavenly around here. The whole neighborhood smells like the best bead ever. [drink] [beer] Title: Re: Will Anchor Steam suck next year?

Post by: Michael Moore on May 01, 2010, 08:00:23 AM I did a tour a few years back, and their hops room is just incredible. If I could, I'd like to be buried in there, smelling beer smells for eternity.

And the smell from the nearby playground is awesome (I live just upwind so I don't get the aroma otherwise) Title: Re: Will Anchor Steam suck next year?

Why don't they have it at the Geist anyway? One reason could be the alcohol content. Both of Brendans places on serve it in 10oz glasses rather than as pints. He's said it some regulation. If thats not just a Marin thing that might be it. If you like the Kilt Lifer (or imperial stout or double IPA or Hopsicle...) try ordering a strong 1/2 and 1/2 with a lesser gravity beer as the other 1/2. Title: Re: Will Anchor Steam suck next year?

I'm not sure what regulation that is, but in Mendocino you can get the Imperial stout by the pint at Piacci's pub but if you go up the street to the brewery they serve a maximum of two in ten ounce glasses. The same goes for the Kilt at Either Piacci's or or Patterson's Pub. You can get it by the pint but only in a ten ounce at the pub in Navato. So... I don't know...except I know where to go to get the stuff. |
