I just returned from the Triple Rock Brewery. WOW! What a great place! Great beer, food and atmosphere. Thanks Schro for suggesting the place, it's going to be great!

So we have a couple of tables reserved for 6pm on Tuesday the 30th of September. Now I will probably be there around 5pm or so, so don't be afraid to show up early. We have the best seats in the house which give us views of both plasma tv's, the bar, front door (important to me as I don't like my back to the door) and the brewery itself.

The beers I drank were the Red Rock Ale (6.0% A.A.B.V.) medium bodied red that is balanced between the initial hop bitterness to a toasty caramel aftertaste.

Tree Frog Ale (7.6% A.A.B.V.) dark amber “Scotch Ale” which has notes of sweet caramel and fruit esters.

and Stonehenge Stout (7.6% A.A.B.V.) very dark, full-bodied brew with bittersweet chocolate- toasted caramel flavors and a velvety finish.

I look forward to seeing everyone there.

P.S. Beware, I thought the beer was delicious but my g/f says they're MALICIOUS

I'll likely be there closer to 5pm....can't wait to re-introduce myself to a Red Rock.
It's been way too long for me.

Red,

I'm on vacation the entire time I'm there.  September 26 through October 6.

The only thing I have a committment for is a barber headshave at 11:00 AM on Tuesday, September 30th.

Hopefully they'll already have some porter in by then.  I should be able to cut out early that day as well.

I'm thinking of taking BART over so that I can have time to sober up before I have to drive home.
