My Taste For Beer As Been Rekindled |
|
A few years back I got tired of domestic beers and switched to wine.
But with the summer concert season over I need some new entertainment and found it at Contra Costa breweries.
Most breweries offer "beer flights" a feature I really like. Sample sizes of 4-5 beers. Typically about 4 oz's. Which is enough to savor the taste but not so much that you get plowed under.
What rekindled my interest in beer is the NUTTY BUT NICE peanut butter stout being served at Epidemic Ales, in Concord. Now I'm craving it.
I plan to visit a couple more breweries this weekend and widen my beer favorites list.
Are there any Contra Costa Breweries you enjoy?
Do you have a couple favorites you'd like to share with me? Drop me a note. I'll look for it as I make my rounds. Cheers!
