[Elecraft] [OT] American Beer, was: 2M module

[Keith Heimbold]

Got to comment on a local San Diego brewery that may or may not be well known called Stone brewery. They have some great beers in the IPA realm; Arrogant Bastard, Self Righteous, Ruination to name a few. Pliny the elder from Russian River Northern California is a superb IPA too.
