A note to Dave:
No, seriously, dude, chin up. Or something. Okay, I don’t know. But at least you’re not Mendocino, who are taking a hit because a small brewery in their association is getting too successful.
No, really, man, I got no clue. How’s your slow-cooker technique going?
Good beer, a good sandwich, a good soup or stew to go with … you know … like Sammy Hagar said, that’s … what … dreams … are made of …!
Okay, yeah, that sucked.
But, you know, come on, dude. Madera Verde beer and chili? Put Auburn on the map.

Still working on the details. It may not be in Auburn, even. More news in a couple of weeks.
