Jupiter's XHP (Xtra Hopped Pale Ale)

I am still pretty much of a newbie to the East Bay but one place that I have been to a number of times and always liked is Jupiter.  They have a great list of beers that they brew themselves and a nice outside patio.
Today I tired their XHP - Xtra Hopped Pale Ale.
It was very similar to the Citra Pale Ale that I brew myself with a clean citrusy flavor.
I highly recommend it.

Dunsmuir Brewery Works

On the way back from a backpacking trip to the Trinity Alps we stopped by and enjoyed the Dunsmuir Brewery Works restaurant.
I'd first like to say that Dunsmuir is a very charming town.  We stopped on the way up as well and found another great place for brunch.
DBW has a nice selection of beer.
We tried their IPA (4/5), Red (5/5), Stout (4/5), Barley Wine (2/5), and their Wheat beer (3/5).
That's quite good considering that I am not a fan of either barley wines or wheat beers.
