I mean, I know a lot of people like the Miller/Bud/Heineken class, and that's cool.
I like Bud.
Buffy? I like that. That girl's so hot, she's buffy.

I'm a big fan of Sierra (and it should be easily available), and I'm sure they'll have some of the Bud/Heineken ilk. So I'd say at least that three, but just let her know that more than just the nationals would be appreciated.

Some ideas for local brews. I know one of the better microbreweries I went to was in Sonoma, so it could be it's mentioned in this article. I was there over 7 years ago, so I don't remember which one it might have been.

I like Bud.
See, that's why I say it's cool! I'm honestly not trying to pick on anyone's preferences here.

So, probably 2 of the majors, a regular and a light. A microbrew IPA and then, maybe, something a little darker, similar to a Newcastle Brown Ale but local? That sounds like a decent variety to me.

Our wings are not tired
I used to drink a lot of Pyramid when I lived in Spokane. The Apricot Ale and their Hefewiezen are both pretty good.

From an ease-of-Deb pv, I think the point to get across is that we want something beyond the usuals, so that it's not only those available, and let Lilibeth make the call, rather than asking for specifics. I'm cool with chancing it and expecting to find something new.
(no hit on Bud, Miller, Heineken, I'm drinking a Bud right now AIFG.)

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.
I know it would be hard for Tom and myself to only have prom choices of hard booze and wine
No worries - they carry a selection of beers, and I think it's a pretty broad range. But noting all of the above, and Ill get us a good span of brews, no worries.
I probably won't hear from her before Friday in any case; her days off are - weirdly - Thursday and Sunday.

Nora, you and Tom should definitely hit Torando in the lower Haight while you're here. It's the premiere microbrew bar in the entire city, and they know all the local brewers (of which there are many) and have an excellently diverse and interesting stock on tap, which is rotated constantly. There's lots of other fun stuff to do in the Lower Haight also. In fact, Rosamunde, the upscale weenie grill is right next door to Toranado.
