Craziness from Healdsburg! At the recent Maibock fest in Sacto there was an entry from Bear Republic and I've just been told a local shop will be picking up the El Oso or whatever its called, a Vienna lager? I guess I have some tasting to catch up on... but at least I've had the Racer X.
Good to see the folks at BR aren't stuck in anything that remotely resembles a rut.
Per a post on BA recently, apparently Racer X is already in, or will be bottled very soon.
