February = Strong Beer Month (in San Francisco)

President's Day weekend (February 16-18) is going to be epic. Saturday is the Toronado Barleywine Festival in SF. Sunday is Celebrator's 20th Anniversary party in Oakland. I have my plane ticket and a place to stay. Somehow in the midst of all this craziness, I'm going to have to make it to both Magnolia and 21st Amendment and try at least half of the 12 beers they're making for Strong Beer Month (not sure about Watermelon Wheat Wine, though). Luckily, I'll have some time on Friday and maybe Saturday if I'm sober enough after all those barleywines. It's gonna be an insane couple of days.

Oh yeah...nice AC/DC tribute.

Me neither but I'd try a 3oz sample just to say...

You have some crazy beer times ahead of you in the next four weeks. I am totally jealous.

Yeah, you should be jealous and I'm gonna rub that shit in. Looks like you won't be able to join me on any of my beer adventures this year. That's too bad...

If a certain slippery kid could get there at the end of April things would also be different.

Watermelon beers always go fast at the OBF. I finally got over my dark-beer snobbery enough to try the one at the 06, and it was truly excellent.

However, that was in, you know, July, which is more watermelon season, imo.

Yeah, I was at 2007 OBF and it was fucking hot. I will try the Watermelon Wheat someday. Just maybe not in the form of a 9% wheat wine. I'll wait for the regular version out of a can on a hot summer day with a plate of fruit salad.

nice touch. if you can't seem to find a good fruit salad perhaps you could substitute a nice frumunda cheese.
