Jasmine: Okay, so Beerapalooza?
Joe: BEERAPALOOZA!!!!
Joe: good time, lots of people, lots of beer
Jasmine: Not frat boyish like the International beer fest. that’s what I’d been afraid of
Joe: nope i didn’t see any decked out babes vomiting pizza Orgasmica into a garbage can
Jasmine: That’s something you can & will only see once in your life
Joe: hopefully
Joe: i wasn’t sure how good the food would be but it went well with the beer overall – liked the creole food the best
Jasmine: A little budge, but good
Joe: yeah…and the beer
Joe: that wasn’t budge. all the stars were there
Jasmine: My favorite beer is still the two kinds of Valley beers we tried
Joe: the one they made for the event was just awesome
Jasmine: Decadence and the Celebrator’s 20th special
Joe: yeah decadance was a bit strong for me but i LOVED the celebrator 20th special
Jasmine: I’ll post the video on Valley next
Joe: now we just have to hike it to Stockton
Joe: getting abyss on tap rocked
Jasmine: I can’t wait to drink our bottle of abyss here at home too
Joe: it was also cool to talk to Vinnie Cilurzo from Russian River – can’t wait till Pliney is in bottle
Joe: and suplication (in like a year) will be all over the bay area
Jasmine: I didn’t love their new beer, but you did, right?
Joe: it was dark – made for valentines day – i liked it
Jasmine: Rejection? It was too bitter for me. Like rejection is, I guess!
Joe: hehe dark like the soul of the rejected – or something like that
Joe: um i just remembered la Folie from New belgium
Joe: i want it now! but alas i must wait
Joe: i mean lots of cherry – real sour but with a nice creamy taste up front
Joe: there was definitly apple flavor in there too. I want to get more into sour beers and this just pulls me in
Jasmine: Devil’s Canyon – the Scottish ale paired with the scottish ale cheese they made. LOVED it.
Joe: ya i really liked that cheese with the beer
Joe: and without
Jasmine: I didn’t know I liked Scottish ale so much. We had another one later and I really liked that too.
Joe: a new style to explore!
Joe: to the beer mobile
Jasmine: I did NOT like that peach ale, from the same people who make that blueberry one I also don’t like
Joe: lol – fruit beer can be tough

Hehe – Thanks Dave – she is great and her beer geek status just keeps going up. She brought back Brooklyn Lager for me from NYC – now come on does it get better then that!
Thanks for the comment – you have a cool site yourself. I have to make it to LA one of these days – Father’s Office and FOII are calling.
