Hello All!

I like beer (to drink not to make) but I don't seem to be able
to find a ng that is reasonably active. Has anyone some
suggestions? Most I've looked at have about 3 posts each month.
I did not look at home-brewing groups.

Technically not a ng, but this might be of some help:

I agree; a lot of Dogfish Head beers are good tho' they tend to
be on the expensive side and sometimes plain weird like, (what
was it?) King Midas Beer! San Francisco Anchor Steam Beer is
good too if expensive around here.

Hi James,
I'm not a Bud lite person, so I'm always looking for local/regional brews.
Here in the Midwest, we have the New Glarus Brewing Co. (only available in
Wisconsin). Whenever we cross the border into Wisconsin, we'll pick up
some New Glarus Uff-da (dark), Spotted Cow (Ale), and a few other seasonal
brews. If no other good beers are available, I'll have a properly poured Guinness.

I've appreciated some of those and I like Guinness too. I'm
perhaps a heretic there since I prefer bottled Guinness Export
to draft Guinness :-)

Anchor Steam Beer! My favorite -- of course I live in the San Francisco
Bay area. It is about $6 or $7 per six-pack.

Fritz Maytag bought an old pre-prohibition brewery in SF and made it
into what we have today.

Fritz, if I counted correctly, is the fourth generation of the
well-known Amana, Iowa Maytag family. Maytag I was the washing-machine
maven. Maytag II followed his father in the business.

Maytag III makes cheese -- and it's damn good. Maytag blue is one of my
favorite cheeses.

And Fritz is Maytag IV.

I was not particularly impressed by their Summer Wheat beer. But their
standard is my standard.
