Great account. About your sources: Brewers Association is just releasing updated version of Michael Jackson's book.<BR/><BR/>But I recommend Tim Webb's Good Beer Guide to Belgium. It's published by CAMRA Books, the publishing arm of the English Campaign for Real Ale. The most recent edition is two years old and Tim has a new one coming out in a few months. It's very authoritative and accurate and has lots of background. You can buy it in good bookstores (those that survive) at Amazon or order it directly from Tim at http://www.booksaboutbeer.com/good_beer_guide.html<BR/><BR/>william brand/www.ibabuzz.com/beerWilliam Brandhttp://www.ibabuzz.com/beernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-63179846279876941082008-10-24T12:59:00.000-04:002008-10-24T12:59:00.000-04:00Hi, this is dondon of mustlovebeer.com a social network for beer lovers to chat and share knowledge about their favorite Beers.<BR/><BR/>Would you mind if we do link exchange?<BR/><BR/>Please shoot me an email if you are interested.<BR/>(linkbuilder@twobudz.com)<BR/><BR/>Thanks and hope to hear from you.Beerhttp://mustlovebeer.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-59902469590664165002008-01-12T14:26:00.000-05:002008-01-12T14:26:00.000-05:00There's a cozy place in Beverly Farms, I know.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-20711895640422773752007-12-07T19:12:00.000-05:002007-12-07T19:12:00.000-05:00I am a big fan of Bison; I particularly like the IPA and Chocolate Stout. Too bad they left Berkeley (seems like lots of small manufacturers have left Berkeley in the last five years -- Clif Bar being another example). But at least the beer is still being made!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-4418224443393849112007-12-07T11:10:00.000-05:002007-12-07T11:10:00.000-05:00All my ingredient sources will remain the same. Andronico's is a great local grocer. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>I think of my co-op up there like a newspaper printing press. Independent editorial staffs/creative (brewer, me)/sales/marketing...but the same skilled pressmen/women operating a printing press that prints two dozen different newspapers each week.<BR/><BR/>If you know of any local opportunities to bring Bison back down here, let me know. My contract up there in Chico is only through Feb 09.bisonbrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09827492880943873962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-50165592260662588062007-12-06T20:47:00.000-05:002007-12-06T20:47:00.000-05:00Dan:<BR/><BR/>Thank you for the comment. It is good to get clarification on where Bison will be brewed.<BR/><BR/>The City of Berkeley has "interesting" zoning laws. Hopefully change is afoot given the recent out-migration on long-time enterprises.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, I purchase Bison from the local Andronico's. My favorite brew is the Belgian Ale. <BR/><BR/>Will you be using a different source for your hops and other ingredients?The Brewernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-86463476003101774882007-12-03T08:48:00.000-05:002007-12-03T08:48:00.000-05:00I'm the Bison owner, Dan Del Grande. I outgrew my Berkeley location and have moved to a brewery co-op I started with another guy in Chico CA. The City of Berkeley wouldn't let me keep the small pilot system in Berkeley without operating a restaurant (zoning law), so I sold the small brew system to Adam, who is starting his own new biz in Oakland. Adam is a good guy and I think of his new brewery as an incubator, but it is financially totally independent of me. I still brew the beer, but now in Chico, and YOU can still buy it in supermarkets, just like you have been doing for years!bisonbrewhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09827492880943873962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-34467406711143248352007-09-02T17:17:00.000-04:002007-09-02T17:17:00.000-04:00Eve, thank you for your comment.

There is not wrong with drinking a french press but espresso is the best you can have. The reason for that depends on the fact that, while making an espresso, the heat and pressure takes the maximum out of a coffee bean in terms of taste and flavor. This is something nearly impossible to achieve with a brewing technique. <BR/><BR/>Hamdi Akan, Turkey<BR/>www.kahve.net.trakanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13432150416385558935noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-1163290772254496262006-11-11T19:19:00.000-05:002006-11-11T19:19:00.000-05:00The trip sounds like it was fun, and the wines sound tasty!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30884704.post-1160158752002912402006-10-06T14:19:00.000-04:002006-10-06T14:19:00.000-04:00I provided the incorrect prices in the previous post.
