This thread keeps coming back around, and I like beer so I will finally reply. We're lucky enough to have the Firestone Walker brewery just a few miles up the road. Their DBA (double barrel ale) is awsome. My favorite is Red Nectar Ale, best amber ale I have ever had and its on sale a lot around here. Not that in to stouts usually, but when it comes around seasonally their Velvet Merlin Oatmeal Stout is pretty darn good.
