Cali Beer Score

By scot in Beer, Lounge on Sunday, August 16th, 2009

There seems to be a ton of really good American craft breweries out in California. The only problem I face in Chicagoland is getting my hands on some of the liquid goodness. After thinking about possibilities, I quickly realized that my cousins lives near Los Angeles. A bright light went off inside my head (a rare occurrence).

After a couple of emails and talking about beer and realizing, that Russ, was a beer enthusiast, it was time to see if he would help out. So I popped the questions and without hesitation, I had my California beer man.

Let’s just say I will be having a Cali beer night with Rich sometime over the next week with reviews to follow. I am stoked and I want to say thank you to Russ.

What did I have? free run 3.0 v2 femmes I have five bombers: three off my list and two the beer store guy thought I couldn’t get here in Illinios (he was wrong).

The first two beers are the ones I can get in Illinois. I have never purchased before because there has always been something else that stroked my fancy more.

• Sierra Nevada – Southern Hemisphere Harvest Fresh Hop Ale
• Beer Republic – Red Rocket Ale

Below are the three beers that I can’t get and look forward to enjoying.

• Ale Smith – IPA
• Firestone Walker – Pale 31
• Firestone Walker – Union Jack

The reviews will be up as soon as I can get Rich over here. Enjoy!
