Ah Tony, you need to come visit Colorado. We have many brewpubs with
beer engine pulls, cask conditioned ales. Might not be pulling from an
earthen cellar, but the ale is just as good. But of course, Colorado is
home to the Association of Home Brewer, Charlie Papazian, and the Great
American Beer Festival.
Another nice thing is, Colorado is now starting into small batch spirits
too, and some of them are quite nice.
All this talk about beer is making me real thirsty, I'll have to pop
one! A nice Milk Stout from Lefthand Brewing right up the road, just
right for a cold cold winter evening ...
