This past weekend the executive chef at Calvin Crest Josh Haas, my step father Dave Divelbiss, world renown Gear's of War advocate Brad Long, and I made the trek up to the Bay Area to enjoy some serious brews. The weather was a bit sketchy at times, but the beers made up for what mother nature left out. Here is a photo of some of our selections: Hebrew's RIPA (Dark), Pizza Port's Hop 15, and Russian River's Pliny the Younger (light). Of all the beers present (well over 50 different Interpretations of the Double IPA style), Russian River won the day with their incredible Pliny the Younger. I'd like to give a big up's to all the guys for letting me tag along on some seriously "Good Times."
