Craft Beer Radio is an Internet talk show about craft and micro brewed beers. The mission of the show is to spread the word of good beer. We introduce people to craft beer, and teach them about different beer styles, brewers who make them, and beer history. Whether you are new to craft beer or have been drinking it for more than 20 years we have something for you.

Beach Chalet
The Beach Chalet in San Francisco has been around a while. My wife and I would go there on dates when we were living there back in 2001 and it had been open a couple of years already. We still have one of their growlers. We weren't impressed with the food there, so we would stop by to fill up the growler when having some people over. It sounds like it's improved since we used to go.
When Greg was talking about his tastes changing from hoppy to malty back to hoppy, I feel kind of the same way. But I think what I look for now is balance. It's easy to make a mediocre beer better with gobs of hops for the hopheads. It takes some talent to make a hoppy beer taste good. Dogfish Head 60 & 90 min IPA's are good examples. They are both hoppy with a good malt backbone. Also, I've been finding more American ESB's which I'm enjoying a lot. Just had Stoudt's ESB last Friday and was very impressed and I have Sierra's ESB in my fridge which is dang tasty. Hoppy, but not so in your face that you are drinking grapefruit juice. Both are restrained American takes on the English beers, which I like.
As always, I enjoyed the show.

post show discussion
Great discussion. Flies don't actually perceive time, and neither do most animals. If you leave a dog in a room and walk away , when you come back he doesn't know if it has been 30 minutes or 3 hours. As far as animals interpreting time on a diffenet scale I would argue that an individual's reations are limited by the kinetics of proteins that govern that animal's life. Since the fly shares many of the same genes/proteins it could not move/percieve fast that us. I hope my explanation has been somewhat luceid; a calcium channel can only open and close so fast modulate cellular signalling.
Also, there was a great study many many years ago in which inorganic compounds needed for life were combined in a feed forward system that applied heat and electricity to the compounds. At the end of the experiemnt all of the organic compounds needed for life were in the system. This would be a great analog to the first three billion years of earth, before the first microbe arose. So Jeff is dead on when he says if there is an underground water hole odds are if there is not life there is at least the building blocks of life.
Hooray for beer and science.
