Kudos to Stonch for picking Beer People as the subject of Session Number 14. As frequenters of this blog know, more than beer beer itself, we’re all about beer people (well, that and pictures of beer). Why? Because beer seems to be a social glue that brings the most unlikely of people together.

None of folks with whom Molly and I regularly drink work with us, live near us, have kids that go to school with ours, or know us from childhood. They’re an assortment of accountants, engineers, insurance reps, real estate brokers, contractors, businesspeople, retirees, brewers, and bar owners — and were it not for beer, we would not have the privilege of calling them friends.

So, in true MyBeerPix.com style, here’s a visual tribute to our beer people.

Cheers to all our friends and hooray for beer!

Still life at Karl Strauss

A saison that Karl did. I don’t like many of their beers but I like this one. Overall I’m glad belgians are replacing IPA’s as the ‘in beer.’

Andy & Melody

Andy is a brewer for Karl Strauss (I forget which location), but he’s not actually at Karl Strauss, he’s at Backstreet Brewing in Vista, Calif. visiting with his buddy Adam who is the new head brewer here. Adam used to brew at the Karl Strauss in Carlsbad, Calif., but now he’s brewing along the famed Highway 78 where other big names in San Diego brewing — Oggi’s, Green Flash, Port Brewing/Lost Abbey and Stone Brewing are all located.
