That's an impressive list of breweries!
Wicked Weed was the last one on the tour. Don't remember a whole lot, but I do remember it was a big hipster hangout with a small brewery.

Ok since I can't edit the double post here's what I'm looking forward to next
I have been to Lagunitas in Petaluma CA - just west of Sonoma - great time. Full 12-16 oz test glasses x 7 different beers x wife doesn't drink beer so I get hers = wife drives home. Live music, too.
Bear Republic has a tour or a brewpub in Healdsburg, CA.
Here in KC we have Boulevard - good little free tour.
Not sure on tours, but I like beer from Firestone, Pasa Robles.
Can you add Duck Rabbit to your NC list?

I haven't been to duck rabbit yet but once I go there I will add it..... that is a list of breweries i've personally been to. If I was to just add all the actually breweries in California and NC i'd be writing all night

I can however add Sugar Creek Brewing to my list.
A new brewery that is taking the space that OMB used to be at (they bought a turn key brewery which is pretty damn awesome)
They currently have 4 beers
They are so new none of them have names yet.
A Pale Ale
A Witbeer
A Belgian Dubbel
A Saison
They were all fairly good and go down well but none of them had a bite (something special) to them. They weren't bad at all but at the same time were so smooth they were almost bland but still plenty drinkable.
The set up is nice and the staff were very friendly so I will give it some time and go back to see if it changed at all.

I had heard clt Asheville or Richmond earlier this year. Said Asheville mkt appeared saturated. They underestimate the power of thirsty hippies
But tonight brings me this. Different but good. Better than Septembers and maltier than most but great flavor.

Stopped by Holy City tonight for a going away party… Had the usual Pluff Mud and Chucktown Follicle Brown. What I had not had, before, was the Chipotle Porter that they brewed! I'm going back tomorrow for more. Probably Sunday, too. Freakin' good stuff!
I missed a september release, hoping to find an october release around here.
