Not much into alcohol mainly stimulants like espresso. But if I want to stock up on a six or twelve pack for guests I usually get Gordon Biersch Martzen. And a micro brewery is moving into the recently closed family Italian restaurant downtown so may have to give it a whirl when it opens. One evening with a friend I went to a local micro brewery and we decided to order the sampler. I was used to these being about 6 small glasses. They brought 18. ;-)
