For those who didn't ask me how it turned out...

1. Il Vicino
2. La Cumbre
3. Marble

Il Vicino, interestingly all their normal beers still suck but everything not on their typical list is amazingly good (order othe specials off their blackboard).

La Cumbre, still my favorite. On tap at: Two Fools Tavern and Monte Vista Fire Station.

Marble, had an ipa at geckos... ahh shitty. They've gone downhill fast.

This link provides both the first part and second part....

What I heard from responses to the first segment is that everyone really enjoyed the presentation... so naturally the second part should also be shared.

ENJOY
