Better late than never, right?  The SOBER group joined in the PBN fun and together, with our families, we enjoyed 13 barley wines.  This was a blind tasting and, as is often the case, there were some big time surprises. 

Our best of show:
Alaskan Barleywine

Honorable Mentions:
Beermann's Bourbon Barrel Barleywine
El Toro's "YO"
Sequoia Brewing's Marley Barley

Sit back and enjoy.  All feedback can go to beer [at] pacificbrewnews [dot] com.

Finally, don't forget to celebrate 75 years of legal beer drinking in the USA.

A quick update on some of the latest news from Washington, Oregon and California, including updates for Russian River, Port Brewing, Toronado, Bottleworks and more.

Opening Song: Tony Joe White
Closing Song: Jaycob Van Auken

Well, this show was a doozy!  Rick and Mike just returned from a quick trip to Russian River, beers in hand.  In addition, Mike shares beers from a recent trip to San Diego and Rick opens a beer hand delivered from Germany.  This was a good time.

In this show we sampled:
Veldensteiner Kellerbier (German)
Huge Large Pils (Russian River)
Hop Idiot (Coronado)
Hop Juice (Left Coast Brewing/Oggi's)
Nelson (Alpine Beer Co.)
Pliny the Younger (Russian River)

We also discuss growler care and storage, a bit of news and (of course) beer.  Let us know what you think.

Ah, it's good to be back!  After several weeks away Rick, Mark and Mike are joined by Jeff, Tracy, Terri and others as we share beers picked up along the way of our holiday travels and adventures.  This show is just a whole lot of fun, and long!  There is a musical interlude about half way through, providing a good spot to stop if you need to.  However, stick around till the very end - if nothing else, you should enjoy us enjoying great beer and great company.

Cheers!

After an extended break, the PBN gang is back! In this show we sample a gift pack sent to us by Groucho and CHUD at The Beer Report, while also discussing news and 'stuff'.

 Starts off with a short song and immediately goes into a Michael Jackson audio clip that you shouldn't miss (even if you skip the song).  Jackson seems to challenge us a bit, in his own way, and I hope it sparks some thought on your part too.

There are also new beer releases mentioned and basic beer talk.
