Beer of the Week: Gordon Biersch Maibock

From the Beer Writer: If you want to run into local brewers, you’re bound to do it by hitting up the happy hour at Gordon Biersch in Mission Valley. This is particularly true if you go when brewer (and West Coaster cover-boy) Doug Hasker’s band is playing one of its shows on the back patio. Many are the brewers who equally enjoy getting an earful of The Barnacles and getting to bend the ear of Hasker, the man widely recognized as San Diego County’s foremost lager expert. That reputation is based on many years of solid Germanic beers like his latest specialty brew, Gordon Biersch Maibock.
