Having my growler filled with a Genesee Blonde from the new setup

Scene from the first ever Rochester Real Beer Expo which was a great event put on by our top local beer bar the Tap and Mallet

Swan Market is a traditional german meat market in Rochester, NY. Aside from all the awesome meat on the menu, they also pour german beer. It's a great place to kick back and share a pitcher with friends..(side note: that was Spaten in the pitcher. Not Blue. I swear)

The beers of the world tent at Phish's Super Ball IX in Watkins Glen, NY had all the Sixpoint beers on offering. Guess what I was drinking all weekend? I've gotta get myself one of those leather cozies.

Draft beer selections at The Owl House. This is one of my favorite restaurants/bars in the Rochester area. If you haven't been here yet, what are you waiting for? Amazing food, beer and cocktails. Lovely to see them keeping it local with both 3HB and Genesee beers on tap.

Bartender pouring a beer at Meridian Pint in DC. Great place.

Bacon in the randall to add some delicious porky flavor to beer at the Extreme Beer Fest. Dogfish enjoys using their randall system in strangely exciting ways.

A bottle of 2010 Barrel Aged Marshal Zhukov's Imperial Stout from Cigar City Brewing. A fantastic beer. In the background is can of Surly Coffee Bender.

Honestly one of the best American IPAs I've had in ages. If you are ever near Ohio, pick yourself up a bottle of this from the brewery. Strong simcoe notes in the nose and perfect bitterness. Two thumbs up! Thanks to Bob (and his wife!) for the gift of this bottle. Photo taken at the Hoppy Daze festival at Monty's Krown in Rochester, NY.
