Well, I live in SF, so I get all the 21A I want. :)

Although 21st Amendment is having "Big Beer Month", so I had an awesome Imperial Red a week or so ago.

Man, I was enjoying my Anchor Christmas ale, but now it just tastes dull. :P

Heh

I've never had much like with pepper beers, but I'd definitely give that a try.

2013 Seattle Beerfest was probably the last good one I went to.

I haven't been to a good beer fest in a while

lol

Neat

Sounds fun

Oooo

E____ beer fest?

EBF?

Drink anything good recently?

A little quiet in here

Any stout by Stone tends to be pretty good.

Good night so far. :)

Finishing the last of my Pliney stash tonight.

There's a new brewpub (or rather, a branch of an existing one on the other side of town) opening up 1 block from my office any week now.

Ah, that's a shame.

I'm pretty excited. sfbeerweek.org is coming up in San Francisco. :)

Well, if it's closed as a duplicate, it'll still show up in the googles, but with a prominent link to the existing answer.

Crap; looks like it may be a dupe of beer.stackexchange.com/questions/16/…

Heh

Seems like a good idea

Not gonna lie, I looked for question ideas by typing "why does beer" into google and seeing what it autocompleted. :)

My friends from PA had it the worst, though: State run liquor and beer stores.

I was extremely excited when I moved from NY (only beer in grocery stores) to California (all alcohol in grocery stores). It was just so freaking convenient. :)

Nice.

Brewery drama could produce a few questions: "Why isn't X shipping to the east coast anymore?" "What caused the shortage of Y", etc.

I suppose we could just declare "regional and brewery-specific questions are fair game, but no opinion-based ones" and see what people come up with.

Indeed

Well, we could do "Where can I get DF120 near Sacramento" type questions. They are at least answerable.

But I'm still not sure that's that interesting.

Well, it'd probably be "Munich Dark Malt 35L" or "hallertau hops"

lol

Indeed.

Not a bad option

Presumably not purely opinion-based ("Is Rogue's new triple-chocolate ipa any good?")

What brand-specific question would we want to allow?

Indeed.

A rather persuasive argument.

Interesting- just saw acheong87's new meta question on brand and regional questions.

Hey TO.

Glad you asked that question- I had no idea clear bottles had uv coatings.

Good morning!

Sounds like a good question. :)

I don't think anyone would ever accuse this country's alcohol laws (especially on the east coast) of being sane. :/

Oof

Mostly in when I was in college and was broke all the time. :)
