Thursday is our actual 5th birthday, and we’re celebrating our “wood” anniversary with Santa Maria BBQ: grass-fed tri-tip and house made linquica cooked over local red oak, pinquito beans from Righetti Ranch, grilled bread and pico de gallo, and ranch salad of local greens.
And special beer and wine:
* The debut (on cask and draft) of Green Flash’s new porter, which will be initially dubbed “Hop Porter”, after my dad who turns 70 years old on Thursday! Green Flash brewmaster Chuck Silva will be on hand for initial pourings and drinkings of the beer.
* Stone 2005 Old Guardian barleywine. I hear this is showing amazing right now.
* Our new “The Fifth” white wine
* Cask-conditioned Levitation with 5 hops (see picture)
* Alesmith Decadence 2009 (a Dunkel Weizenbock)
* Craftsman Honesty Ale, made with cherries

Festivities start at 5:30 or so. Thanks for making this project successful for 5 years, it means a lot to us all.
Where do you guys get red oak? I haven’t been able to find any.
