I'm drinking Double Arrogant Bastard for New Years.
Partially because I'm a masochist and partially because I know no one else will drink it. My stash is safe.

the place is beautiful, i went last year for my 2nd wedding anniversary as well, the beer is soooooo much better fresh on tap, the food could be better (the mac & beer cheese is a little bland for instance) but a very cool place to hang out and drink around the fire pits and the rock garden, didnt take the brewery tour this time because it was getting late and we were all hungry, but the tour is awesome

these are from last year

Super bowl is 5 weeks from 1/2 (I know because I have the same target for a beer I am making)

Since you have 5 weeks, go with that schedule posted above if you are bottling.

An Irish Red is pretty low gravity so you should be in great shape by Superbowl.
 
had these while brewing saturday

duchy original organic english ale - made by wychwood, tastes like a version of thier "Fiddler's Elbow" just slightly different - very good

I couldn't resist and tried the Humbolt Hemp Beer and it's terrible. Tastes like rotten vegtables.
 
Just returned home from a Firestone food and brew pairing at a local eatery/ watering hole. Many tastes of Unfiltered Double Barrel Ale, Union Jack and Walker's Reserve (Porter). But mostly enjoyed two pints of delectable Velvet Merkin! Life is grand!
 
Marin is a good brewery. I like several of their beers, and one of these days I will get around to visiting. I hear it's a nice little trip from SF.

Doug, it's Ten Commandments (aged in bourbon barrels), Gift of the Magi (aged in French oak barrels), and Serpent's Stout (aged in Port barrels).

Not sure where you stand on sour beers (I love them and really enjoyed the Stone Sour Fest last summer), but it definitely has some elements of that, along with stout characteristics. My all time favorite beer is Lost Abbey's Angels Share, which is aged in either bourbon or brandy barrels (depending on year), so I like that part of it for sure. But you really get an interesting mix with the Port in there.

I think it's kind of hard to explain, but you really know you're drinking something different.
