Red-Tail

 

Red-tailed Hawk, Sunset Parkway

We're heading up to Mendocino for a few days and today's red-tailed hawk sighting reminded me of something: What ever happened to Red Tail Ale? 

Looks like Mendocino Brewing Company went bankrupt several years ago, but Red Tail Ale has apparently been brought back with the original recipe by Fogbelt Brewing in Santa Rosa.
