There was good reason to steal California from the Mexicans!
It's a shame that the Californians f*@ked it up afterward!

It wasn't their fault. It was all that Okie trash that came in after the Depression.

FQ13 who couldn't resist poking Rastus just a little, but it was said with a smilie

PS If you like the hoppy beers, as I do, here are three great ones. Light to heavy:
Anchor Steam: as hoppy as Sierra, but not as heavy.
Alaska Amber: about like Sierra Nevada, but smoother. A very great beer and worth the trouble of finding it.
Anchor Liberty Ale: like Sierra on steroids. Not dark, but hoppy as heck and great with a steak. Despite being an Amber, it feels about like a Guiness after drinking one. Not a real high high alchohol content at alll, but heavy enough to be a sipping beer. One or two should do you.
They are all well worth a try and deserve a chilled mug.
