Humboldt Brews Taphouse, Arcata.

The bartender tells me this is no longer a brewery, hasn’t been for three years, but it’s still listed in the brewer’s directory I got from North Coast. But I’m enjoying a “Six Rivers Sasquatch Strong Ale” which is dark and good.

The hot wings are hot, the beer is tasty (and cold), and the band is setting up.

Don’t want you to think I’m a beer lush; what I am is a beer snob, and I really do enjoy a good pint or two, though not a lot more than that.

Arcata appears to be hippie central.
