I'm going. We arrive on the 16th and leave on the 23rd. After the conference we are going to try and hit up some breweries.So far here is what we have been looking at. We might try and hit up SN as well because I think we are going to head north to a couple of wineries as well. Who else is going?

I'm not sure why Rock Bottom is of interest, but can assure you that the rest are worth seeking out. You might want to add Bear Republic, it's not far from Lagunitas, and there are a couple others too, I will list them later.

Excuse me while I swear. B)I'm going to be in the area the weekend before. If I had bothered to keep up with this sort of stuff, I could have changed my plans and have gone.

I'll be there. We are planning on doing the "Iron Liver Tour" for pre conference events. After my experience at last year's NHC I decided to go for the social package, instead of the full. I only made it to two sessions last year. Should be a good time.Alex

Hey... if you guys want to do a "Brews Brothers" official gathering in a nice conference room, let me know. Reserve with me at drew@maltosefalcons.com and I'll set you up with a space.

I'm going to be there. Spending the first part of the week staying in SF with the little woman for our anniversary. I signed up to steward for the judging, too. Figure I'll get to meet some homebrew "royalty" that way, and taste some good beers, too.

Allow me to recommend what pubs to hit going from South to North:Marin Brewing Company - Larkspur CAhttps://www.marinbrewing.com/Moylan's - Novato, CAhttps://www.moylans.com/Russian River Brewing - Santa Rosa, CAhttps://www.russianriverbrewing.com/3rd St. Ale Works - Santa Rosa, CA You could walk from Russian River to this placehttps://www.thirdstreetaleworks.com/Bear Republic Brewing - Healdsburg, CAhttps://www.bearrepublic.com/Those are my favs, and all are worth a stop. I'm not sure if Lagunitas has an actual pub, you might want to call them and find out. I tried to go there a few months back and it appeared that they were just a brewery - no restaurant/pub. I could be wrong though but a call might be in order.

Any of you guys have photos to share with the rest of us unwashed masses who didn't go?
