I was looking for some Celebration Ale, as my beer instincts were telling me it was that time of year again. I first tried this beer in Seattle after my first granddaughter was born while visiting my son-in-law Todd and my buddy Andy, and I always like to drink it with great memories of that weekend. I just kegged my own homebrewed version of Celebration Ale, and I wanted to do a side-by-side comparison. Much to my chagrin, there was no Celebration Ale to be had; it hasn't been received from the distributor yet. Head hanging, I thought I was going to have to go home empty handed. As I perused the aisles on my way out, I spied what looked to be some Bear Republic offerings in 22 oz bottles. There was Hop Rod Rye. XP Pale Ale. Red Rocket Ale. And lo and behold...a few bottles of my new fav - Racer 5! So I snatched a bottle and went home for some great beer and some California dreamin'. I'll get the Celebration Ale next Saturday...
