All of you who are into craft beer should take a serious look into home brewing. I started about 6 months ago and I have brewed some really great beers. It will give you a new appreciation for beer and save a few bucks. So far I've brewed:
Sierra Nevada Pale Ale
Belgian Dark Strong Ale 9.2%
Pliny the Elder 8.2%
A Robust Porter I found online
Belgian Blonde, is in the bottle not ready yet
Belgian Golden Strong Ale, still in the fermenter
Stone IPA clone, just brewed this weekend
Pliny has a very narrow window of peak flavor. It tasted great about 2-5 weeks out of the fermenter. After that it goes off a bit. The Porter, and Belgian Dark Strong are getting better and better but I will probably drink them all before they hit their peak.

I'm way too lazy to brew! Between working for the railroad and owning a bar, time to brew is minimal. Of course being able to get beer at cost does help;)
We have customers bring in homebrew all of the time. Some of it is absolutely amazing beer.

I would be 1 broke man if I could get beers at cost.

I've just started getting into IPA's but can't really judge whats "good" and "not so good." I've tried Pliney before from my cousin and it was amazing...the taste reminded me of a pine tree for some reason.
What are some stores where I can buy bottles of the good stuff?

Where are you located? There are a lot of great shops in the bay area.

What are some good sours? I like Rodenbach, especially their Grand Cru. St Bernadus? Monk something or other...and the white bottle with the Elephant? Those red sours taste like candy! I haven't drank much of anything in the last three years, but those are the types of beers I started to like before I got too tired with life to drink on a regular basis. LOL. Now I may drink once a month or two months ![[Frown]](frown.gif)
Forgot to add: around that same time I tried "barbar" and really liked it as well.

I'm a die hard craft beer fan. Hands down, my favorite is Drakes. They have a damn good IPA as well as double IPAs that will put you on your ass after a few beers lol. It's even better at the brewery in San Leandro on tap (obviously). The ones I'd recommend.. their IPA, 1500, Dry Stout, Denoginizer, double IPA (if they still have it), and their "tree beer" if they have begun serving it for the holiday season.

Where are you located? There are a lot of great shops in the bay area.
I'm in Hayward /castro valley. Any recommendations of where to pick up some good craft brews to try out?
As mentioned above, Drakes is local and I do like their beers, but I'd like to try out some other recommended brands.

Hayward has buffalo bills, but thats more of a resturaunt than tap room. Fremont has a couple tasting rooms in their liqour stores. Cork n bottle or whole foods on Mowry or mission liqours or calicraft on mission. My favorite is mission pizza just off 680 and Washington. They have 35 beers on tap. You gotta try knee deep simtra. Stronger than drakes denoginizer. Two of those and you won't be able to drive home lol.

Thanks for the tips. I typically go to Trader Joes in CV to get my IPA but they don't have what I consider a large selection. I have been to the Whole Foods in fremont and I've tried a few different ones there. I'll have to check out the other places when I get the chance. Thanks!

The Bistro in Hayward is where it's at! Make sure to get tix to the DIPA fest to kick of SF Beer Week. You're also a short(ish) drive from Caps N Taps in Dublin and Altamont Beer Works in Livermore. Altamont is absolutely killing the IPA scene right now.
Up the road a piece and brewing stellar beer is Faction Brewing in Alameda. Serving great beer is Beer Revolution in Oakland. Beer Rev along with City Beer in SF are the pace setters for taprooms in California.
