No droids, no Wookies, and unfortunately no Princess Leia in a white silk robe. 9 of us DOZERS did however have a fun evening out, with dinner and beers at Pyramid followed by the Beer Wars premiere.? The movie detailed Sam Adams, Stone Brewing, and Dogfish head.? It provided some insight into the plight of the craft brewer and exposed some dirty tactics employed by the Big 3 to thwart the little guy.

Due to lack of interest (ticket sales) the Anderson Valley Bus has been canceled.
