Anything by REDHOOK! ipa. is great.I am drinking a GORDON BIERSCH marzen as i hunt and peck.hate to type but gota learn somehow!.has anyone tasted ALASKAN BREWING alt style amber ale or their spruce tip ale. I am lucky to be in staggering distance of 2 good brewerys,Stoddards-fantastic ipa.and a chain ROCK BOTTOM-A good white belgin ale.GORDON BIERSCH and TIED HOUSE are both a short drive away.
