Hey folks,

last night i had a pint of 2004 SN celebration ale at Toronado in SF;
was not as malty as i remember it in years past, and is quite hoppy,
with a strong hop aroma(nice and fresh).

Looking foward to the bottles....

Darnit, now I have the standard 3-4 week wait before
it shows up locally. I'm twitching already.

I did chat a bit with one of the brewery folks at their
GABF booth, where I had been hoping for an SNCA preview.
He said it'd be a couple weeks. However, I was pleased to
try their Brown and IPA, which I'd never had before.
(They were nice.)

YES!! I picked up a few seasonals yesterday, which are showing up on the
shelves up here in the Emerald City. Bridgeport, Deschutes, Alaskan, Full
Sail...

Its only a short while before SNCA makes its appearance... ;-)

I can wait. One of my locals had SN Harvest on tap, and AFAIC, that can
hang around for a few more weeks. Let SNCA come out after Christmas, as
it should. Meanwhile, there are already discounted cases of Jubel on
sale at Costco. Feh. So much for "holiday" beers. It's *OCTOBER*,
f'cryin' out loud!

Bigfoot is for after Christmas. I like my SNCA to be
readily available before Thanksgiving (which is a holiday,
you culturally insensitive brute). Yeah, mid-October is
a bit early, but I won't complain.

Thanksgiving? Hey, why wait for that holiday. I'll be giving out SNCA
to the kiddies for Halloween.

Och, ye heathen laddie. Thanksgiving is a fookin' *harvest* feast. So
drink the beers that celebrate the bounty making your table and belly
groan. There's time enough for the likes of SNCA right after that.
