Thought that I would throw of some shots from Sunday's adventures.

 

Kim and I headed to the King of Prussia Mall in King of Prussia, PA on Sunday. For those that don't know, this is one of those mega-malls that used to be one of the largest around when it opened. The last time we were there in December, it was a complete madhouse, so it was nice to get there early and look around without the crowds.

Of course I couldn't leave without a souvenir. Thanks for reading.

While I enjoyed the Hopdevil cask. BTW, Happy Birthday Wally! This one's for you!

Kim had a Mad King's Weiss.

Of course on the way home, we had to stop at Victory for a drink.

We next hit the movie theater across the street and saw V For Vendetta on the IMAX. It was a pretty kick ass flick.

Yeah it was! Not bad. We enjoyed Rock Bottom. We'll definitely be back to try some of their other stuff plus it's always good to have a brewery handy in the mall to help quench your thirst while your shopping.

We had a movie to catch and time was getting short, so I only had time for one more. Went with Uncle Patty's Oatmeal Stout. Was it any good?

Mmmmm, barbecue nachos.

Kim keeps it light with the Lumpy Dog.

1442333388_beer005.jpg.f70990bc35677ad3f0d9174d4ed4544c.jpg

The Prussia's Pride IPA of course!

1078986827_beer006.jpg.a17ef605d19910fe0b34a73781063c2d.jpg

They had some nice looking stuff on tap. Gee, what will I go for first?

909226484_beer015.jpg.50e87c48260b6e3f3a7730e6b6cb93ef.jpg

They had a really nice bar area, with a good vibe. It helped that it was still early and there wasn't many people there yet.

1569475008_beer016.jpg.c6b8eb56875da0074d2e80d4dfbaa198.jpg

It looks like there's some serious fermenting going in there.

Of course I wouldn't be posting this unless there was beer somehow involved. In this case, it's the Rock Bottom Brewery, located in the mall.

Looks awesome Heath! Right down to the oversized nacho plate. I can't wait until we can have nice things like that down here.

 

Unpacked my bag last night

Posted
^Yeah!!! Derek is alive!

 

Erik's a drunk huh? I thought he was just a dork. Just kidding Erik. Atleast he didn't wear his Miller shirt.

 

LOL!!! I have retired that shirt Wally. I did have a foo foo Pina Colada, but it was very lacking in the rum department.

Posted

Wow, that's a nice selection of stuff you brought back there Mike. Enjoy the Racer X. I love that stuff!

 

Wow, with everyone either just visiting Nor Cal, currently visiting Nor Cal, or living in Nor Cal, I was feeling left out.

 

Good thing I had some Liberty Ale on hand to help raise my spirits.

393455595_beer004.jpg.f8040b60b8d4de6c471c93f6512fb1b9.jpg

Liberty Ale. Fantastic stuff. Makes me want to go do some trip planning now!

Time to show off my NorCal beverages of late:

SFO3220679.jpg.52273d957efe5bcef109ca5a2c3cd417.jpg

Saw this shirt appropriate for some beer thread contributors :)

SFO3220666.jpg.9e4b136c25b8fa0cd5ba49b0ba33d30f.jpg

It rocked!

SFO3220660.jpg.fb0f27d6edd882bcb87273ba1c99f450.jpg

Then found an Irish pub with Lagunitas IPA on tap

SFO3220686.jpg.9b5548134e191bb250090c73a5cf63d9.jpg

Followed by a Widmer Hefeweizen

SFO3220684.jpg.5de6f2c8fe89654f33883e0abfb4b129.jpg

Then had a Fat Tire at Fisherman's Wharf

SFO3220651.jpg.269ceee89384b3eab2d3a92f3c18c2d0.jpg

Promptly after the conference ended, I broke out the Anchor Steam

SFO3220634.jpg.66d68707a0fb12346d98d1b84b334240.jpg

But I wasn't paying, so who am I to complain

SFO3220633.jpg.1584fa1a053ee8e32301b8fdd71ee0f2.jpg

Last night I had a Pyramid Hefe Weizen for dinner. Sadly, no lemons!?

Posted

It looks like your'e having a good time with all those great beers out there Derek. Make sure you have a Thunderhead at Pryamid when you go.

 

I love the shirt but if I sold Kim for beer, who would drive me around to all these breweries?

Posted

Tonight I was going to go to 21st Amendment, but it was too far for me to walk. Luckily I knew Thirsty Bear was nearby, so we stopped there instead. Food was good, Spanish tapas and such. The atmosphere was great, and the beers were worth the walk!

SFO3240646.jpg.cae42048b830c0a7ceb52f031f0e1e91.jpg

When in San Francisco, fruitiness is all around. So I felt obligated to do the same when my Sangria Sorbet came for dessert. It was yummy in my tummy.

SFO3240648.jpg.7ad513d5bf4ffa5928ecccacbb2d7896.jpg

Then tried the Baren Marzen Amber Ale seasonal Belgian

SFO3240645.jpg.61b1e1fdd6f2799fd7636f4aa000f9a4.jpg

I had Spanish Meatballs with mushrooms, peas, and chickpeas for my meal

SFO3240644.jpg.5c2c7bb13d40d178a7c9eebc00d7d63c.jpg

Then had to go with the Valencia Wheat for all my peeps down chillin' by Magic Mountain

SFO3240643.jpg.1958ac56e844733ac0cbdefe397270e7.jpg

I started off with the Howard Street IPA

SFO3240642.jpg.59daa935e2db024d3c3087bdbad91764.jpg

After much walking from Market Street, we found Thirsty Bear

Posted

Ah man, you got to go to Thirsty Bear! I love that logo.

 

Finally broke into my bottle of Sly Fox Rt. 113 IPA last night. This one was kind of interesting. Started out with some nice sweet citrus notes but then got hopppier and hoppier the more I drank it. Heh, I'm not complaining though.

 

Also, yeah for the beer thread on reaching a 100 pages! My how it's grown in only a few short months.

The Sly Fox Rt. 113 IPA. Kind of a schizo IPA but I still enjoyed it.

Finally got home from San Francisco, though I'm tired, jetlagged (AGAIN!) and really miss the weather. Here's a recap from yesterday's fun.

SFO3250670.jpg.ceec3423c934d17403fa950a5db1a929.jpg

Of course I was happy to find the giftshop and some 6 packs for the trek home

SFO3250680.jpg.0f2c650da24f132fe35828b0a6e0c9ad.jpg

And then the DPA, only found in the brewpub. Its the Mac's Ale but nitrogenated. Really weird stuff, like an ale trying to be a stout

SFO3250679.jpg.f6de84e65dd91c4576c3a332387edc32.jpg

Followed by some Snow Cap

SFO3250678.jpg.080045962bd55fb017e78ecb82a08567.jpg

During the tour of Pyramid, I had a little sample of the Hefe

SFO3250677.jpg.10b7176d09fa53f0aa10f225e90df137.jpg

Enjoying my Crystal Weizen while doing my best Heath face

SFO3250673.jpg.2a61795e6bc0521d22b83340ced0d103.jpg

Which went great with my gazpacho

SFO3250672.jpg.e2ab1d1a3994100acb5bc5058f70a543.jpg

Being the Coaster Tool I am, I just had to start out with the Thunderhead IPA

SFO3250669.jpg.d8b8827d02075a9a9f38c9eb0b6f12d1.jpg

Started out at Pyramid, home of good weizens and good food

Posted

After Pyramid, we checked out Triple Rock which wasn't too far away. The place was very different, and the beers were too.

SFO32506112.jpg.7f92118311070d0dfda1451fa2292c40.jpg

I had the Shanghai IPA, which ended up being one of the better IPAs, not as good as Thunderhead though.

SFO32506111.jpg.5966568d137d99dd7a35a96b280dca6a.jpg

The place was surprisingly small, but the staff was really friendly and fast

SFO32506110.jpg.08b3a71830cfdbb67bbda40d8eae1865.jpg

After Wally headed home, I checked out more of the city, stopping at San Francisco Brewing before heading back to the airport

SFO32506105.jpg.00c20e6b6a49fe35112a8a680e6dab50.jpg

I tried their 21A IPA, which was pretty average for an IPA. High in alcohol though at 7.2%

SFO32506104.jpg.377445a57e577be9436a199878ef9bdc.jpg

The day was still young, so we headed into San Francisco to check out the 21st Amendment

SFO3250688.jpg.e6860a9e02423950b4f71afdce0fade8.jpg

The tried the Red Rock Ale, their signature beer. That one was even weirder! (so strange in fact, that neither of us actually finished our glass!)

SFO3250687.jpg.993b57217752309be40e689569285389.jpg

I started out with the IPAX, IPA Max. It was an odd boy, not very max at all

SFO3250683.jpg.1a1b046b470ebfd147cfd56eea3f1cc5.jpg

We were kinda frightened, especially at the interest in the Texas/LSU basketball game going on

SFO3250682.jpg.8d9c5d21082635c4828b787819a335d1.jpg

Wally had good directions, but the mean streets of Berkeley are just plain goofy!
