NorCal Beer Adventure

This weekend my wife and I made the trek north from Los Angeles to the Bay area to partake in the glorious Northern California beer scene. We got to visit some breweries and beer spots that had been on our bucket list for a good while - Sante Adairius Rustic Ales, The Rare Barrel, Cellarmaker, City Beer Store, and Bear Republic. Here are a few shots from the trip.

Russian River (Pliny the Younger release)

The long line for the Pliny the Younger release. This was taken shortly before we gave up and left for Bear Republic.

Proof that we at least waited in line at Russian River. Hopefully next time we'll actually make it inside the brewery.
