The Toronado's 20th Anniversary Fete

It seemed like everyone in the beer-geek world was at the Toronado for their 20th Anniversary party on Saturday night. The place was packed to the absolute gills with locals, brewmasters, and beer fans who'd flown in for the occasion (we met a guy who'd come from Vancouver). Several brewers of note had made special beers for the occasion, and we were lucky enough to score a table and sample a few. We loved the Bear Republic Wild Turkey Rye Rocket Booster, the Russian River Damnation 23 and 20th Anniversary Ale, and the Sierra Nevada Wood-Aged Stout, to name a few. The anniversary beers are on tap until they run dry, so do yourself a favor and swing on over for a taste or four.
