Oh btw Corona is mexican pisswater. Drink a real beer!
Despite being located in a city with 6 brewpubs and in an area known for its excellent microbrews, the Sacramento Hilton lobby bar had a pretty sorry selection of beer, IMO. There were no hoppy beers to speak of, not even the "old standard" of northern California beers that's available practically everywhere else, Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. However, there were some excellent pilsners like Pilsner Urquell and Stella Artois available. Nothing hoppy though. 
Too bad, Pyramid Brewing Co., Sacramento Brewing Co., River City Brewing Co., Rubicon Brewing Co., Hoppy Brewing Co., and Brew It Up were all within a 10 minute drive of the hotel. Beer choices aside, it was a great convention. The lobby bar was one of those wide-open bars where everyone walking by can see whose drinking. Needless to say, I was there for most of Saturday.
Also, the speakers I attended were great: Alex Saunders on Madagascan cichlids, Oliver Lucanus on West and Central African cichlids, and Dr. Ron Coleman on phylogenetics. The Sacramento Aquarium Society hosted the convention this year and did an amazing job, IMO. They also led tours to San Francisco, Lake Tahoe, and the Amador wine country.

Fat Tire is one of those beers that I really wanted to like because of the cool label, but it just doesn't do anything for me. It's not a bad beer, just not my style. It has almost no hoppiness to it at all. It's pretty much just malty and that's it. If I'm going to drink a malty beer, I'll have a Guinness. Otherwise, I'll stick to hoppy beers, like many IPAs, or something else with an assertive hop finish.mcox3;1016794; said:
I like how it went from fish to beer... but then again those are the only two things that really matter in life, well also cant forget the B.I.T.C.H.'s.
Looks like it was fun, wish I could have gone.
