Jason Breatt from Lodi Brewing

[Rails]

I was in Lodi this week and stopped in to try one of Jason Breatt's beers at the Lodi Beer Company (The Session 12/8/07). I was told he no longer works there by the bartender. He said he left due to some disagreement . By the way the beer wasn't that good. They had a "German Amber Lager" on tap. When I asked the bartender if it was an Octoberfest , Marzen or Vienna Lager he said he'd never heard of those beers and they don't make them; he said they make a "German Amber Lager". I ordered some. Not that great. So does anyone know if Jason is still brewing somewhere? I was interested in trying one his beers using the Sarachi Ace hops.

I have known Jason since we were teenagers, and have been fortunate to sample his brews from when he first started, to his current brews.

Last time I spoke with him, he is currently only brewing small batches at his home for private consumption. I haven't spoken to him in some time, however the last time I spoke to him, he was still teaching brewing classes at Beer Beer and More Beer in Concord, Ca.
