This is just a quick shout-out to Brian Ford and the crew at Auburn Alehouse. They've been open for less than a year, but this weekend at the Raley Field Brewfest they were named "People's Choice"! To put a tiny bit of perspective on this, AAH received more votes from the festival goers than Bear Republic, Moylans, Russian River, Marin, Anchor, Sacramento Brewing and a list of very notable names from the Northern California region. Brian certainly deserves the honor, his beers always amaze and never seem to last. His Gold Digger IPA, for instance, was in very high demand at Raley Field and WCBF - I don't recall there not being a lineup at the festivals for Ford's hopped-up IPA.
