eureka? not so much...beer? amazing!

So it turns out there's just not much to Eureka.  It looks like it might be trying to revitalize its downtown and just didn't quite get there, or it tried and said, "fuck it."  Not much there.  The boardwalk is really pretty, but there are no shops, only one restaurant, and some one off condos.  There's a lot of potential, but...

Anyway, we did find good beer here: Lost Coast, Mad River, Eel River, and Local Beer Bar, so the stop wasn't entirely for naught!

Our hotel (a Best Western, mind you) had a shuttle service not to be believed!



And Joe hit his 2500th unique beer on Untappd. (Cheers!!)


I had one of the best beers I've ever had: Mad River's Humbolt Brownie (a double brown ale)


Think double chocolate walnut Ghiradelli brownie...god jesus that's a good beer.  Mad River bottled it, but, of course, they'd sold out of it.  Good news though...I found it online.  (It's on its way to the house!)

Good beers, good weather, good food, good day!  Tomorrow we head for Sacramento!
