Sat. it'll be in a cask at the Marble Brewery(ABQ) and at the Blue Corn(SF). If you miss that, you may have to get up to Trinity Brewing(CSprings) for some of the same hops served through Jason Yester's randler! If you want citrus and tangerine, we've got it! I still have some hops for you to brew your own magic too! Hey Stan,

Nothing says America more than a citrusy ale. You could do worse than a Sierra Nevada Pale. Something vivid with Cascade hops. Nothing says America more than a citrusy ale.

I just had a taste of that recently and want to get some more. Brooklyn's Black Chocolate Stout is seasonal and is always a favorite of mine. Since you'll be in my native New Jersey, though, how about the Grand Cru from Flying Fish? I’ll second Peter’s suggestion. I just had a taste of that recently and want to get some more.

From what little I, currently, know of the American scene - I would be looking for the Old Fezziwig Ale.
