Ruhstaller Captain California Black IPA





A hot day out here on the left coast - time for a beer!  Cracked open a Ruhstaller Captain California Black IPA to quench my thirst - Caramel, Chocolate and hints of coffee with a citrus nose (grapefuit, orange and melon) worked great on the palate and the 7.3% is working great on my disposition. I had the 1881 ale earlier this year - Ruhstaller 1881 Red Ale, but the Capt. hadn't been available in the last few months for some reason and I was happy to find it at my local Beer Shoppe.  That Beer Shoppe is just down the street from a couple of Record stores too, so picked up the MC5, Joey Ramone and Ryan Adams 7" in honor of Record Store Day.


Here's the website for the beer -  Ruhstaller

Check out my review over at Beer Advocate - Capt. Ruhstaller

Cheers,
Jerry


PS - got to tour the Brewery at the University of California at Davis yesterday and had a blast learning about the facility and the great studies that are on-going.  If you enjoy any of the thousands of craft brews that this country produces, you owe a debt to the efforts of Charles Bamforth and the crew at this facility - they have trained many a BrewMaster!


Check out the great pint glass I purchased below, the text is:

2009 Berryessa Gap Zinfandel




A beautiful sunny Sunday has come to an end and I'm celebrating the day with a glass of a product of that sun, a wonderful Zinfandel from the Berryessa Gap Winery.  Raisins, dark fruit and vanilla from the oak aging characterize this vintage from the winery in Winters, California.
Nice perfume too.  You need to stick your nose into this one!


Head over to their website and order yourself some ------  Berryessa Gap


A nice quote from the website's Blog - March 28th, 2012 entry:

"Sitting inside watching the “we need it” rain come down and prepare the soil for early spring growth. The buds of some grape varieties have already started growing and most of the fruit trees have blossomed. We are once again at the beginning of a season and anticipation is high. As soon as I write that it sounds redundant, seems I am always looking with hopeful expectation. We are pruning, we are harvesting, we are blending, we are bottling and we are meeting people. The list goes on. In this season of rebirth it is, perhaps, easier to get excited but reasons are always there. Pay attention to the things around you (they are wonderful) and welcome the future."

Cheers,
Jerry
