West 10th Brewing
Homebrewer James from West 10th Brewing recently made some interesting concoctions. He found a tempting recipe on reddit's homebrewing community that joins the IPA styles of Bell's Two Hearted Ale and Stone's Arrogant Bastard. The result?
This one's going on my to-brew list. Try it yourself! Two Hearted Bastard

North Bay Brewery Tours
James from North Bay Brewery Tours piqued my interest with this cap.
Turns out he and a couple of friends started a business transporting the thirsty to craft breweries in Sonoma County, California. Forget winery tours! Free lunch, lots of draft tastings, and even some homebrew education: a Saturday well spent.
Each day tour visits 3-4 different breweries. A sampling of some of the locales:
Lagunitas Brewing Company
Bear Republic Brewing Company
Broken Drum Brewery
Stumptown Brewery
Third Street Aleworks
The Beverage People (Homebrew Supply)

We like the way you roll, North Bay.
With some magnets, glue, and BottleMark-made custom caps, North Bay Brewery Tours now have awesome (and affordable) "schwag" to hand out to their guests.
If you're visiting northern California, take the tour! http://northbaybrewerytours.com/
