The most recent South Bay Beer Advocate meet at Rose & Crown was a great time. Lots of interesting beers were tasted.
Some of the great beers sampled included:
Westvleteren 12
Boulevard's The Sixth Glass
Midnight Sun's Arctic Devil Barleywine
A Growler of Masala Mama IPA from Minnesota's Town Hall Brewery
Drake's Imperial Stout
The Bruery's Autumn Maple
Alesmith Yulesmith IPA
As well as the nice tap offerings at Rose & Crown, Drake's Hopocalypse IPA, Full Sail Wreck The Halls, Golden Carolus Xmas Ale, and Hoppy Claus.
Thanks to Rose & Crown for the hospitality!

Also had some time off work last week. Headed out for a solo round of some disc golf~!
Even par after playing around once. I still got it.
Since I was in the area, I went to El Toro Brewing Co for lunch.
Great spot in downtown Morgan Hill. 26 house brewed beers. Yep, 26. And 2 house made sodas.
4 versions of the Poppy, 2 different IPAs, a double IPA, oatmeal stout, imperial stout, 2 vintages of their holiday barleywine, 3 fruit beers, a California common, blond, Kolsch, golden, and more. Yee Ha!
Had a flight of the Poppy Jasper Amber Ale, their flagship.
The flight included the standard issue Poppy, and 3 dry hopped versions with different hops in each. Amirillo, Centennial, and Cascades. Cool idea, and makes an already good beer better, IMO.
Food aint bad either. Cheese pizza and their new red IPA.

El Toro is a brewery to seek out. The selection and quality of all the brews is great.
Oh yeah. Also saw Mudhoney for about the 20th time in Santa Cruz. Good times. They're still great.

Bistro 2008 west coast barrel aged beer festival
Attended the 200 Bistro's West Coast Barrel Aged Beer Festival on Saturday. Had a real fun time sampling unique beers with friends. Good times.
The number & quality of beers was pretty phenominal. 57 different barrel aged beers from the West Coast.
Didn't get to try nearly as many as I wanted to.
Some personal favorites:
Avery's Vogelbekdieren. A blend of 3 different beers from 5 different barrels. Cabernet barrel, Chardonnay barrel, whickey barrel. The with Brettanomyces added.
Firestone Walker Parabola Imperial Stout. Aged 2 years in a bourbon barrel.
Glacier Beam Razz XXX. Triple Bock aged for 3 years in a Jim Beam barrel. Then repitched with ale yeast & raspberries.
All 3 or Port's offerings were fantastic.
2006 Angel's Share barleywine aged in a bourbin barrel. Huge toffee flavor. Awesome
2008 Older Viscosity. Bourbon barrell aged imperial stout. Huge, chewy, filling.
Veritas 002. Blended sour barrel aged beer with raspberry mead. Tart, sweet, & delicious.
Schooner's 2007 Old Woody Barleywine. Aged 10 months in an oak barrel.
Valley's Dec 12 Cuvee Speciale. Belgian style quad aged in 56 year old Gallo brandy barrel.
Didn't know this guy. But thought it was funny.
Buffalo Bill's is right across the street. Popped in to take a breather, have some food, and a beer.
