		<title>Getting Younger</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Opening day of SF Beer Week really came together for us. Well, at least for me.

		<title>Southern California Megalopolis Brew Tour Part II</title>
		<description><![CDATA[We must be getting older because Saturday&#8217;s activities took a bit out of us. And I don&#8217;t think waking up in the Inland Empire helped. After overcoming the morning fogginess and grogginess, we were back on the road headed west. Luckily we had an easier day of beer travel on Sunday.
There was no way we [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Lady to the Rescue</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Driving five hours for a beer; that is how our Southern California beer journey began.
With our goal of reaching 600 breweries in 2010, we needed to get busy. The three-day MLK weekend was a perfect opportunity to make a dent in the needed 76 breweries. But where to go? My first thought was Southern California, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Last January I wondered what beer adventures 2009 would bring.  The Year in Beer experiences of 2008 would be a tough act to follow, that&#8217;s for sure. We definitely didn&#8217;t travel as much last year, but as I look back on it, I realize I have lots of great memories. Here are my memorable moments [...]]]></description>
