4D Summit 2010 Photos - Breweries

A few of us took a side trip during the 2010 4D Summit.

	The Stone Brewery is marked only with its address. No signs anywhere.
	Once inside, it is a wonder to behold. The brewery's signature gargoyle is sculpted into one wall.
	This is the indoor part of the restaurant, ...
	... but Max, Mike, Leah, and I opted for lunch on the terrace outside in the perfect weather.
	We took the free brewery tour and learned all kinds of interesting stuff about beer from our charming tour guide.
	The vats are huge, shiny, and spotless.
	The packaging area features Arrogant Bastard packing tape, naturally.
	Before you get too excited, know that these are empty kegs and cases, waiting to be filled with microbrew goodness.
	After the tour, we tasted four of Stone's delicious beers.
	Next up, we visited Lost Abbey, a tiny brewery located in an industrial park.
	Inside are all manner of brewery supplies, ...
	... and a tiny bar serving up $1 tastings of Lost Abbey's vast selection of brews.
	Mike eyed the t-shirt selection while waiting for his next beer.
	The brewery cats are a brother ...
	... and sister. They were friendly and perfectly comfortable in their home.
