We were out for a surprise birthday dinner for Robyn’s 30th, where I got to play beer nerd \/ consultant, and couldn’t resist another La Rossa<\/a> — especially since they had the cute little glass.<\/p>\n

Afterthoughts, February 2011:<\/strong> This was a great little night out, and one of the unexpected benefits was meeting Jessie and Simon, two friends who have since hooked me up with several good beer recommendations and joined me for some enjoyable Rambling Time. Jessie’s from California, within “crawling distance” (as she puts it<\/a>) of the Sierra Nevada brewery. So I’m going to run a bit of a Local Stuff Beer Tasting<\/a> for her family (including her apparently-formidably Beer Nerdy father) when they’re in town later this month.<\/p>\n
