Blake;
>From what I've been told, the gizmo in the Guinness can is nitrogen, it seems
that CO2 as put in the bottles gave it that kinda nasty "bite" taste that it
had. Whatever the gas, the change is wonderful.
Of course, living 10 miles from Sierra Nevada Brewery gives other options,
especially as they sell a number of brews not seen outside of the immediate
area, and in a couple of cases not sold outside of the brewpub unless you buy a
keg. As David Gunn mentioned, we enjoy an experience the rest of you have
permission to be slightly jeolous of: a premier "microbrewery" (not so micro
any
more") with a great resturant attached and the "intoxicating smell" when
driving
by. My personal favorite is a Brown Ale they only sell on site, fairly dark
and very smooth. The "wild hare" option is called "Bigfoot" which is actually
called a barley wine due to having about 11 % alcohol. (hence the name!)
Add to this great Northern California weather, the availability of rust free
Triumphs and wonderful, unpopulated and unpatrolled roads... and you have
virtual heaven. (In fact there' is a town called Paradise here...groans
accepted)
(btw at the risk of being partisan, "Northern California" is Not the bay
area. We're 100 miles north of Sacramento...and sometimes that's still not far
enough!)
So, fellow listers, come on out and I'll buy the first one!
