Great work Brent! I love seeing so many local brewers and happy patrons.

Yeah, that was a tough assignment .. making a video at a brewfest. Much worse than a water board meeting. Dreadful.

Great stuff! Sorry I missed it, but now sure to go next year

A water board meeting? Oh dear, I had no idea waterboarding was happening here.

A big shout out to life long Fairfax resident Mary Chapman who was not only the first Executive Director of the Fairfax Chamber of Commerce, but also was the brainchild behind the very first Fairfax Brewfest 16 years ago! Congratulations Mary -- your vision and dream not only came true but it has thrived!
It's nice to see the Brewfest carried out by so many good Fairfax people and continue on so successfully!

I went to the Smashburger in Novato & have to say that it was a disappointing experience. TheRead More burger was very mediocore & the onion rings were awful-very greasy. The staff were not friendly & operated with a "Bambi in the headlights" look about them. I do wish Smasburger luck in their locations. However, from my perspective there is a good deal of work that still needs to be done with the food, staff & service. At this time, "In & Out" Burger is a "hand's down favorite...thanks

Sheryl, I would put up our food and our service against any In & Out, anytime, any place. I'llRead More put my burger where my mouth is (literally) and offer you some free vouchers to be at our opening in Mill Valley. Send me an email (jasonwkent@gmail.com) with your mailing address and I'll get those vouchers to you ASAP.

How many loaves of bread could you make from a 200 sq, ft. wheat field?
Woody Weingarten June 19, 2013 at 07:07 am
Lisa says she doesn't yet know "how the plantings will yield. Could be six big loaves ofRead More homemade bread, could be many more, or fewer."

Who can live on that pay in Marin? Maybe someone who walks or bikes to work?
