Back in October, wifey and I visited Mountain View’s Tied House Brewery and Café and Morgan Hill’s El Toro Brewing Co. Brewpub.

Tied House hosted a “Lupulin for Lupus” fundraiser organized by the folks associated with the BetterBeerBlog.

Proceeds from four donated casks were to benefit a lupus foundation.

Alpha Session from Drake’s Brewing and Hops on Rye from Firehouse Brewing.

Appetizer and raffles.

Mr. and Mrs. BetterBeerBlog.

We’re so glad to have been able to attend this event. We drank tasty beer, caught up with good folks, got to meet Tied House’s director of marketing, and did our little part in helping out a good cause. Tied House, for sure, is going to be a place we’ll be returning to often.

A few days after having visited Tied House, we stopped by El Toro Brewing Co. on our way back from a trip to Gilroy Gardens.

El Toro IPA and Deuce Imperial IPA.

The beers were excellent, and the food hit the spot as well.

El Toro Brewing Co. is another place that we’ll certainly be returning to.

Cheers! Prost! Gun bae!

Our foray into the better beer world really started earlier this year with the SF Beer Week South Bay event, Meet the Brewers Beer Festival in San Jose, back in February. Since then, wifey and I have been interested in trying different beers and paying closer attention to beer styles and their corresponding characteristics.

This post is a catch-up post reflecting more of the beers (through pictures) that we’ve had throughout this past year up to roughly the end of summer. We enjoyed all of these beers, as wifey and I have similar, flexible tastes.

The below draft beer is the Marzen from Sudwerk Brewery in Davis, which we got at a great Davis restaurant, Caffe Italia.

Again, wifey and I enjoyed all these beers. Our interest in and appreciation for good beer have been growing greatly, and it’s been fun. We’ve been starting to keep tasting notes, of which I’ll start posting more going forward.

Cheers! Prost! Gun bae!
