Summer of Beer: 21st Amendment IPA, From The Can
On the eve before the kickoff of USC’s football season the beer of choice was 21st Amendment’s Brew Free or Die IPA. This beer has just started to become available in stores around California, and while I was somewhat disappointed with their watermel…
My Beer Pix: High Tea at the Empress Hotel
While visiting Victoria, it’s mandatory that you experience High Tea at the Empress Hotel. The fragrant malt coming from the tea is great. The nibbles are tasty and if you’ve been to one of my beer parties, not unfamiliar. Here’s the tea s…
My Beer Pix: Bard & the Banker

My Beer Pix: Finally, a non-touristy place for a pint or two
Today, I’m headed to Ferris’ Oyster Bar. It’s a local hangout that Alana told me about, with good beers, great oysters, and a non-touristy atmosphere. I can’t say enough good things about the waitresses and bartenders here. The service l…
My Beer Pix: Sucking oysters and sipping stout
