This year the release date is February 1st. Of course there are other ways to get it than going to RRBC directly, but if you want it early you gotta go to the source.

I found a few hard to get beers for the beer judge training at Willows Market.

Check it out when you're around Menlo Park,

Hi Sudzers,

I know some of you already know well the wonders of Willows Market.  It's our corner store -- lucky us!  If you're in the 'hood, stop by and check out the beers.  If you're not in the 'hood, it's worth the drive.  

Cheers,
Kathy

InMenlo - Willows Market is home to over 1,000 beers in Menlo Park, tended to by owner Nick Sharma

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 08:36 AM PST
Nick Sharma, owner of Willows Market in Menlo Park
The Willow’s Market, owned by Nick Sharma, has a lot going on for it — aside from being an upscale neighborhood market.  There are week night events ranging from gourmet food trucks on Monday and wine tastings on Wednesdays. But it’s the focus on beer that really distinguishes the market, located on the corner of Willow Rd. and Middlefield Ave. in Menlo Park.
When Nick bought the store in 2006 he had a vision of “becoming the best at something, being world famous, and making it really cool.” He realized while many stores in the area were focused on wine, there were no places that provided access and knowledge about hard-to-find craft beers. And so his collection began with about 20 unique brews.
He now carries over 1,000 beers, including collectables that mature over time. He offers the full spectrum, from Bud to bottles that sell for over $350. Nick notes that there is “no mold for beer drinkers.”  He helps enthusiasts find whatever suits their palate and introduces them to beers that they have never heard of or imagined.
Word of the wide beer selection offered at the market is out, and he receives calls from loyal customers throughout California who make appointments to come and buy assortments that they can’t find elsewhere. So, his dream of making Willow’s Market a destination is coming true.
Nick says that he has double the best selection in Northern California, which was confirmed by Sunset Magazine, which noted the market as one of the three top bottle shops in the Bay Area, pointing out that it “includes some almost impossible-to-find barrel-aged ales.”
For the holidays, the Willows Market carries several dozen seasonal beers, including large bottle Christmas ales and Kosher brews. Shopping for a beer lover, Nick will help you make a selection or buy a gift certificate. You’ll also be able to mix any four beers, no matter the package (single bottles or six packs) and receive a 10 percent discount.

-I think the potluck idea is the way to go. Each of us could bring a little something to share.( a snack or appetizer type.) You could also bring something that might pair well with your beer!
- It will be held at around 2pm on Saturday the 29th. Potluck first, then quickly getting to beers!
- I willhost at my house in Campbell ( 660 MonicaLn. )
-To make things perfectly fair, If you or a friend would like to attend the tasting then bring a beer to share. If youdon'thave a beer but want to try some, you candonate $20 to go towards the clubtreasury.
- There will not be a limit to the amount of beers you can bring ( within reason ) and keep in mind 22oz or 750oz will help make sure everyone gets a taste of everything they would like.
-Feel free to announce what beer you will potentially be bringing (i may have a 2009 dark lord...i'll have to check.)
Let me know if you would like to attend or have someone that wants to go asap. Let me know if I put you down and aren't going. Let me know if you have any questions.This should be Fun!

Is anyone bringing beer they've brewed? Or are we saving that for next month? I'm bringing the Sierra Nevada 30th Anniversary Grand Cru and The Bruery's Cuir.

  It is almost here! Tomorrow is the big day.
 
 A couple of last minute reminders...
 
 -Homebrew is always welcome, we can try them before the commercial beers if you wish.
 
 -No limit on the amount of beers you bring, just bring at least one beer per person participating in the tasting OR make a $20 donation to the club.
 
 -This will be a potluck type of event so please bring a snack or entree to share. You can also bring something to compare or contrast with your beer.
 
 -Feel free to list the beers that you are potentially bringing as well as food items
 
 -We will try to develop a tasting order, but it probably won't matter
 
 -This will be a very casual atmosphere as usual
 
  This should be a fun end of the year get-together and I am really looking forward to it. The beer line up that I have been hearing about promises to be an amzing and unique selection.
 
 See you guys there!
 
 P.S.  I am planning on serving cheddar and white truffle hot dog roll ups and am dusting off an aged Dark lord, Goose island bourbon county stout and another surprise as we speak.

Volunteers are expected to be there from 10-5, and will do the following:
  • Set up before the event (10-12)
  • Work 1 of 2 shifts during the event (12-2 or 2-4), this  might include pouring beer, distributing water, emptying dump buckets, or otherwise shuttling stuff around as needed.
  • Clean up after the event. (4-5)
  • Please Note: You need to be there the whole time to participate as a volunteer, 
  • You are free to enjoy the festival for the one of the two shifts when you are not working
If you are interested, please reply to me and let me know. (Please do not reply to all.)

Here is a link to the festival information and tickets (which as a volunteer you will not need to buy):

  • Your phone number (cell preferred)

Hi Roger,

Hope you didn't drink more than I did over the holidays. I certainly found some very good beers recently. One of the best was the 50/50 2011 Eclipse aged in a Buffalo Trace Barrel. They certainly are brewing some damn fine beers up there in Truckee.

If you know of anyone interested in working here, please pass the word around. 

I am currently accepting applications for a part time job at Beer and WineMakers.
Responsibilities would include packaging ingredients, accepting shipments, assisting customers and tasting a wide variety of fermented products.

  Hey Gang-
 
 A big THANKS to everyone that showed up, brought food, and brought beer to the Decemberfest tasting. It was definitely a success and I think we should make it an annual event for the club. We had almost 20 different beers. The caliber of food and beers was amazing and it was a fantastic group effort. I believe the top three beers were :
 
          #1- 2010 vintage westvleteren 12
 
          #2- 2011 barrel aged old rasputin
 
          #3- 2010 goose island bourbon county stout
 
 Our first club meeting of 2013 will be held on Jan 19 at 5pm at my house in Campbell. Since this is the first meeting of the year it is that time again for dues. Club dues are $20 per person per year. Couples are $30. we will be collecting at the meeting.
 
 Topics for discussion will be :  -Scheduled meeting dates and times. which work best?
 
                                             -Treasury count and what to do with it.
 
                                             -Upcoming homebrew competitions. Do you want to help?
 
                                             -Upcoming events. Do we want to participate?
    
                                             -Club brew ins and special hop/malt projects. Where/when?
 
                                             -Club shwag! T-shirts, work shirts, sweatshirts, decals/stickers, business cards
 
                                             -H Q website
 
 
  Of course any homebrewed or commercial beer that you would like to share is always welcomed and encouraged, especially those that you would like feedback for.
 
-Later

I just received Dave Teckam's attached e-mail,

regarding a management change at the California State Fair beer competition.
Details at:  http://www.bizjournals.com/sacramento/news/2013/01/03/state-fair-beer-competition-management.html?ana=e_sac_rdup&s=newsletter&ed=2013-01-03

I don't know the new organizer so can only hope it will be run better this year,
Roger.

==========================================================================

Hello beer enthusiasts.
Apologies if you get this more than once, but I do want to get the word out to you. With a change of management for the CA State Fair competitions, this is likely to be a better competition, one worth entering and worth taking the time to judge. It's not BJCP Sanctioned yet, but that will provide information needed regarding entering and judging. It looks to be an early June entry deadline, and a mid-June judging. Joshua Charlton is the organizer this year.

A few people have asked me about BJCP training.

I don't expect to organize any beer judge training this year as I'm running two competitions.

But as Dave Messink points out, in his attached e-mail.
The organizers of these SF Beer Week BJCP seminars, David Teckam & Brian Cooper, are both master level BJCP judges.
This is a great way to get introduced to BJCP beer evaluation and as they're both good guys, promises to be a pleasant activity.

Check it out,
Roger.

To:


The 2013 America's Finest City (AFC) Homebrew Competition is coming up in a few weeks and we need your help to judge and steward this event. AFC is one of the largest competitions in southern CA with over 500 entries last year.

Register to judge or steward, or find information about AFC here:
https://quaff.org/AFC-2013/

AFC will be judging all of the BJCP defined beer, mead and cider categories.

This year we're expecting between 500 and 600 entries, so we'll need a large contingent of experienced judges and stewards. We expect to be able to take any BJCP tested (even if you don't have your rank yet) judges plus a small number of people who have not yet taken the test but who have worked as a judge or steward in previous BJCP sanctioned competitions. When you login to register please double check that your online information is current (including your judging ranks as it affects your pairings).

AFC is held in 3 sessions and we really appreciate those who sign up on Saturday to work both sessions. Judges and stewards are expected to arrive at the event PRIOR TO:
   6PM on Friday, February 22nd
   9AM on Saturday, February 23rd
   Noon on Saturday, February 23rd

As usual our competition will be held at St Dunstan's church in La Mesa:
6556 Park Ridge Boulevard, San Diego, CA 92120

If you have any questions related to judging or stewarding this event, please contact Kelsey McNair (Judge Coordinator) at kmcnair@gmail.com. For other types of questions about the AFC competition itself, please contact Dominic Fountain (Competition Organizer) at domfountain@...

We will offer a meal for judges working the following session, so no need to eat before you arrive. Please arrive prior to the above listed times because late arrivals cause significant difficulty to the organizers and forces everyone to wait on you before starting the judging. If you're running late please send e-mail to our Judge Coordinator, Kelsey McNair at kmcnair@....

We really appreciate your willingness to help. Thank you and cheers!

Dominic Fountain
AFC 2013 Competition Organizer

I've been raving about this place for sometime now.  Those within earshot heard me at the last Sudzers meeting spout about the brewer who made the barrel-aged beers (the Raccoon Revival, 9.6%abv. on Maker's Mark is outstanding) left 8 months ago and the new brewer is responsible for the 2- 6.9% Simcoe IPA's (one on cask, both gone), the wonderful double IPA (loads of citrus and nice balance of bitterness and malt), and the 4 standard beers, of which the IPA was available at the last meeting to good reviews.  He is working hard at constantly keeping 12 beers on tap.  My Belgian buddies love the Blitzen, the trippel. The barrels have been removed, but rumor has it the new brewer may bring some back.  I couldn't help but noticing an oatmeal stout going on tap soon, hope it's above 6%abv.!   Currently the best brewery in the South Bay?

Had the Rock Bottom DIPA a couple weeks ago - it was pretty outstanding. Tons of Citra & Simcoe tropical fruit goodness, and hid its 9+% alcohol pretty well. They also had red ale aged in Makers Mark barrels for 20 months - full of caramel/vanilla/bourbon and as good as any barrel aged brews I've had at Drake's. Not sure whether it's the new brewmaster locally or the new corporate ownership (same parent company as Gordon Biersch), but the beers were the best I've had from Rock Bottom in years.

A double IPA at the Rock? Worth checking out.

PS. Had Coronado Imperial IPA, 9%, at Yard House yesterday. Excellent, doesn't taste like high alcohol, not malty at all, very smooth, light color, flavor on the citrus side. They now have a flat panel screen above the bar displaying all the seasonal, rotating, and special bottled beers, in addition to the huge menu.

I haven't been to Rock Bottom for over a year.

It appears I'm missing something.
Anybody get over to Rock Bottom recently?

I've been raving about this place for sometime now.  Those within earshot heard me at the last Sudzers meeting spout about the brewer who made the barrel-aged beers (the Raccoon Revival, 9.6%abv. on Maker's Mark is outstanding) left 8 months ago and the new brewer is responsible for the 2- 6.9% Simcoe IPA's (one on cask, both gone), the wonderful double IPA (loads of citrus and nice balance of bitterness and malt), and the 4 standard beers, of which the IPA was available at the last meeting to good reviews.  He is working hard at constantly keeping 12 beers on tap.  My Belgian buddies love the Blitzen, the trippel. The barrels have been removed, but rumor has it the new brewer may bring some back.  I couldn't help but noticing an oatmeal stout going on tap soon, hope it's above 6%abv.!   Currently the best brewery in the South Bay?--- On Tue, 1/15/13, Ahsan Ali <chasingtwilight@...> wrote:

Scott Guckel was their head brewer until 1 year ago (he since moved to Portland to start a brewery) and was replaced by....errr I can't recall.
He also was a very friendly guy when I met him last year at "Meet the brewers" during the SF Beer week. His efforts are really shining through and they have been picking up their game.

Had the Rock Bottom DIPA a couple weeks ago - it was pretty outstanding. Tons of Citra & Simcoe tropical fruit goodness, and hid its 9+% alcohol pretty well. They also had red ale aged in Makers Mark barrels for 20 months - full of caramel/vanilla/bourbon and as good as any barrel aged brews I've had at Drake's. Not sure whether it's the new brewmaster locally or the new corporate ownership (same parent company as Gordon Biersch), but the beers were the best I've had from Rock Bottom in years.

Sudzers,
A double IPA at the Rock? Worth checking out.
Ron
PS. Had Coronado Imperial IPA, 9%, at Yard House yesterday. Excellent, doesn't taste like high alcohol, not malty at all, very smooth, light color, flavor on the citrus side. They now have a flat panel screen above the bar displaying all the seasonal, rotating, and special bottled beers, in addition to the huge menu.

  Thanks to everyone who attended the first club meeting. There is a lot of potential this year for the club and it all depends on how much we want to be involved. Also, if you didn't get a chance to get in your club dues, there is always next month. Thanks to those who did.
 
UPCOMING COMPETITIONS:
 
 World cup of beer ( Bay area Mashers )
 
  entry window 2/1 - 2/16
  final judging @Linden St. brewery 3/16
 
 National Homebrew comp. ( AHA )
 
  must register online by 1pm on 2/26
  entry window March 18th - 27th
 
  BABO ( Draught Board )
  San Mateo county fair ( The Grain Trust )
 
 more info on these comps in the coming months
 
- You can help judge or steward all of these comps, The organizers are always looking for more help and it is a great way to learn more about the judging process and evaluating beer, and you could make some great contacts.
 
* If you enter a comp under the Headquarters name and take a ribbon, you will be reimbursed from the club for your entry fee!
 
 UPCOMING EVENTS:
 
S.F Beer Week- 100's of events throughout the bay area.  more info at www.sfbeerweek.org/
 
 -A few of us will be making the yearly trip up to Hayward to the Bistro's Double I.P.A. festival! Let me know if you are interested. Feb 9th
 
The Brewing Network Winterbrews fest- commercial beer plus 'homebrew alley'. Tickets and info at http://wbf2013.eventbrite.com/#
 
2013 HEADQUARTERS EVENTS:
 
 We talked briefly about some potential events to be involved with or set up this year...
 
 -Club brew in- Jim has volunteered his place for a spring 'brew in' where we can bring our brewing setups and have at it.. Date TBD. (April/May ish)
 
 -Bus pub crawl- Do as many have done in the past and head north to some of the best local brews around! We could charter a bus for the day and travel to a few world class breweries. This would end up costing somewhere around $35 - $45 a person, if we can get people interested.
 
 -Steve-o's- Every year Roger's neighbor turns another year older and celebrates with a bang... 7-8 live bands, Margaritas, BBQ, and about Ten homebrewed beers on tap! This will be my 5th year and I wouldn't miss it for the world. This is an all day event in south San Jose. save the date, July 13th!
 
 -NCHF- The Northern California Homebrewers Festival. This is another one not to be missed! About 30 clubs, 300 homebrewers and all kinds of mayhem. Some call it 'beercamp'. Two days of camping, sampling hundreds of homebrews and finding yourself in the sierra foothills. The theme is- Space: the final beer frontier http://www.nchfinfo.org/
 
 - Trip to the Tourist Club- A club outing to just over the Golden Gate to a German 'rest stop' on top of a mountain! Chris had mentioned this a while back and it has intrigued me ever since. You have to pack in your own food but they have cold beers for weary travelers. Apparently it is only available to groups no bigger than 7. http://www.touristclubsf.org/
 
 - Beer and food pairing- An in club competition to see who can match the perfect beer with the perfect dish! How about belgian quad chocolate truffles, smoked porter and salmon, or bacon pancakes with brown ale?
 
 -November/ Decemberfest- The end of the year celebration couldn't have been better. Amazing aged beers and great food. We really made it happen! Lets do it again next year. November or December? 
 
 -Bar collaboration for SF Beerweek 2014- This could be a great way to get the club name out to the southbay while generating some funds for the treasury. The idea is that we set up a 'meet the brewers' event at a local bar/brewery and pour our homebrew alongside the bar and describe and chat about brewing to the people!
 
OUR CLUB
 
 -We touched on setting up a website for the club. Something simple yet effective. I believe Jeff and Jim are looking into this, We will look for an update in February sometime.
 
 -I would like to order Dickies work shirts with the club logo on them. Some of the other clubs have these and they look really slick as well as being high quality. They also really make a staement at events that we set up as a club when we all show up wearing them. Jeff is checking out pricing and vendors. We will have more info on these in the near future. Let me know if you are interested in purchasing one.
 
 -We are looking into ordering some mini imperial pint taster glasses with the club logo etched. Jeff showed us some examples and they look awesome. More info on these soon. Again, let me know if you are interested in purchasing one/some. As with the shirts, the more we order the better the deal. ( typically ) 
 
- I am going to get some decals/stickers made up and maybe some more business cards with the new website on them in the next few months. These will be passed out to all......( dues paing members) jk.
 
 
MYSTERY BEER
 
 This months beer was light in color but complex in flavor. A lot going on.
 
 Jim thought maybe a saison.
 Andy said it seemed Belgian and sweet in the finish.
 Pat tasted clove and noted good clarity.
 Jeff thought it had some bubblegum notes and tasted of pilsner malt.
 Jim also noted clove, but with orange.
 Brian who came in late, had a private sampling of the M.B. He said, "Belgian Blonde?"
 
 BINGO! It was in fact a belgian blonde. Leffe, a classic.
 
 Good job narrowing down the flavors and aromas guys, better luck next time.
 
HOMEBREW
 
 Jeff's 2 hearted clone-
 
Jeff noted he wasn't really pleased with the flavor, a slight earthy and metallic aftertaste. It finished very dry and of course leaned toward the hops (all centennial) It was pretty bitter (lingering) and not balanced well, but it had good clarity and color and not a really bad beer. Thanks Jeff
 
 Brian's wit with pilsner-
 
 This was nice, a big coriander nose but a little sweet in the finish. Carbonation was minimal. We agreed that if itf this had more carbonation, it would be easy to kill a couple of pints! Thanks Brian
 
Andy's doppelbock-
 
 This was also nice. A little sweet but not overpowering. lots of fruit! Pat pointed out Raisin, Brian said apricot. It was slightly roasty, complex, and clean. I noticed some soy sauce flavors, but in a good way if you can imagine. Great beer, thanks for sharing Andy!
 
Brian's session pale-
 
This had equal parts simcoe and amarillo and it showed. Big hop aroma, but only 4.8%. Pat was getting a big tangerine nose, while others were getting resin/piney. I found both evident in flavor and aroma. Reminded me of Lagunitas daytime. I kinda liked it. Thanks Brian 
 
Brian's American Brown-
 
He called it the "kitchen sink" because of all of the random hops in it, but I think they worked well together. About 7%, Big roasty flavors and nice chocolate aromas. It had a slight silkiness and easy drinkability to it. Most of us really enjoyed this one. I would pay for a pint! Thanks brian
 
My Hop Red Rye ale-
 
This was an attempt at a west coast red ale with rye. The rye only comes through as a very subtle spicyness, Jeff noted some pepper notes and sweet in finish. Andy thought it was deceptive for an 8% beer and sweet, but not cloyingly sweet. I just think it has a really big caramel nose and it could be aged a while. Hope it helps.
 
COMMERCIAL BEER
 
Stillnacht-
 Bottle from belgium. This was strong with a lot of fresh fruit like apples and pears. A nice spice and some alcohol heat. very complex. oh yeah, did I mention 12%
 
Oatis-
 Nice chocolate and coffee, roasty flavors. silky, big bodied and smooth. pretty well balanced.
 
 Alesmith IPA-
 This was full of pine, citrus and resin. Nice malt backbone and good bitterness, Strong hop aroma. definitely west coast style. This is one of my favorite IPAs.
 
 Doublejack-
 This was dissapointing. Usually bursting with huge tropical fruit aromas and citrus flavors. This bottle was mainly bitter and somewhat dull. Still descent DIPA, but a dissapointment to loyal followers.
 
 Infinium-
 This is the collaboration between Sam Adams and Weinenstephen. This bottle had been in my fridge for over a year. It was very carbonic, very tart, and had an unusually odd aroma. very cidery. Flavors didn't seem to work well at all.
 
 Thanks again to those who showed up, paid dues and brought beer. Let me know what types of events you are interested in so we can concentrate our efforts onto a few of them.
 
 See you guys at the next meeting!
 
-ANDY

Just a heads up for you geueze lovers out there. I just picked up a Cantillon
Classic Geueze at Wine Cellar in Santa Clara. For the uninitiated, this is a
rare beer to get unless you pay through the nose. They're selling them at a
reasonable price. He only had one case, so get there quick.
