Look at the 1980’s. If you loved craft brews, or micro brews, you were hard pressed to find something. Today we have TONS of great beer to choose from.
Brewers like Seattle’s Redhook started at a great time.
Life is good.

Firestone Walker Abacus
Putts & Pints: “1. Firestone Walker Abacus: You want the WOW factor? This beer delivers. A barleywine aged in bourbon barrels (some say for three years). At 13 percent, it packs a wallop, but the taste is startling. And I mean that in a good way. One third of the way through the beer year, I have an early candidate for best beer of 2011.”
I love Firestone Walker, no doubt about it. Abacus is something I’ve been dying to try and haven’t had the opportunity.
If you like, or love, barley wines you owe it to yourself to give Abacus a try.

White House Honey Ale
Obama Foodorama: “President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama made culinary history when they served homebrewed White House Honey Ale, made with a pound of honey from the White House Beehive, to guests at last month’s Super Bowl party.”
Home brewing is something that’s been on my list of thing to do for quite some time.
Wonder if I could get on a list to sample the next batch?

Old Fresno Brewing Co.
Historical Perspectives: [hat tip Derek Scharton]“Just as the office is a monument to a different era, the brewery that used to reside at the foot of M Street once was a vast testament to a burgeoning city. Built in 1900, it became the largest brewery in the Valley, employing 1,000 workers and pumping out enough beer to help quench the thirsts within the city’s 50 saloons.”
The Great Valley had some amazing businesses at one time. The article is beautifully written and worth a read. Make sure you check out the collection of pictures at the bottom.
