ZOXXO, great point. Why waste all the money and effort in to homebrewing if you're going to have 10-20 gallons of something you hate?
XSauronX, I totally agree. Drinking the same beer over and over gets redundant; variety is the spice of life.
Shocksyde, you are one lucky dude. I definitely have to give that Dormaal Blond a try; I hope Bevmo stocks it in the SFV.
Anxi, I have not. I haven't been in San Diego for years. I am going to visit family friends who live 30 minutes east of San Diego; we're going to the sand dunes in the desert with his dune buggy. I told him we would go to the Stone Brewery together when I came down. It looks like we'll be hitting up the Green Flash Brewery as well.
