Local Wine and Beer

I have decided that 2012 is the year I finally start making wine and brewing beer (longtime dream). I plan on starting to make a batch of Pinot Noir Red this week as well as to begin brewing a Hellenbock, traditional German Ale. I will update my progress (with some pictures too) on this blog. In addition to brewing and wine making, I plan on visiting local breweries' tap rooms and wineries' tasting rooms (Napa and Sonoma excluded) and writing about their offerings. I intend for this blog to be both a resource for local Bay Area beers and wines as well as a log of a complete amateur's foray into beer and wine making. I will be visiting the tap room of Ale Industries in Concord this week.
