Our trip to Mary's Pizza Shack in Roseville on Sunday was our 100th official Hop Heads event. Barely a week after our second anniversary! As some of you may have seen from Rick Sellers blog, PacificBrewNews, Mary's Pizza Shack in Roseville recently began brewing craft beer to go with their pizza. On tap, their starting line up included a wonderfully dry hopped pale ale, a malty amber, a pilsner and an american wheat.
Wow! what a turnout! We had Hop Heads from as far south as Lodi (welcome, Tina!). Gary Juels (brewmaster) and Josh (District Manager) were class acts. They went out of their way to show us a great time. Countless samples of their ales.

The pale ale stood out, with wonderful dry hopped aroma. The excellent beers, the awesome appetizers, and the wonderful pizza (my favorite was the combo) put us in food and beer sensory overload. Hmm...wonder what's next to be on tap?!
At a mere 365 sq ft, the brewery is packed tight. The kettle is heated from a 500kBTU direct fire stove. 
Geez! All beers are served straight from the bright tanks, no middle man. The tubes are replaced with each batch to eliminate worries of cleaning such long lines.
It was defintely one of our top Hop Heads events, thanks completely to Gary and Josh at Mary's Pizza Shack. We'll definitely be back!
