Okay, I lived in San Francisco for about 5 years--moved away only a few months ago...How could I forget their own brews: Anchor Steam and Gordon Biersch (also restaurant). Some good brews from both.

And Mick, I think you spelled that particular brew wrong...I think it is a "y" instead of "ie"...and a homebrew if I am not mistaken. I understand it is a very sweet, rich tasting nectar. There is a special blonde brew out of Leicestershire that I'd like to try. However, the name escapes me at the moment. It, too, is hard to find.

Cheers everyone!
