wineries. Yes, you read that correctly, Sutter Home. This trip is all
about high quality craft beer, with a little cheap wine thrown in for
good measure. Though I must admit the Franciscan Cuvee Sauvage was an
incredible wild-fermented wine that had some similarities to great
sour ales. The line between wine and beer is definitely thinning.
Anyway, we made a quick stop at Moylan's for a couple tasters. The
o'Sullivans imperial stout had some nice complex chocolate and coffee
notes. Unfortunately the alcohol was a bit too pronounced and somewhat
harsh. I'd love to try this after a year or two in the bottle. They
also had Hopsickle on tap, which is a great triple IPA. This had an
incredible floral aroma with just a hint of grapefruit. However, Sarah
and I were both slightly disappointed that this didn't have the
massive up-front hop kick that a name like Hopsickle led us to
believe. Not a bad ten minute stop but we won't be going back.
After that, we made it into San Francisco for a night in a hotel. It's
amazing how quickly you learn to appreciate small amenities after just
a few short days. I met up with an old roommate for a bit and now
resting up for the big Yosemite trip. Hopefully we'll make it there
tomorrow or Friday but not sure when the next update will come. Until
then, enjoy the pics.
