After touring the campus of UC Davis and sitting in on a lecture of Michael Lewis, I am impressed with UC Davis. Though the lecture I sat through didn't really tell me anything I didn't already know, I was impressed by the lab and its tools. The 3 bbl brewery next to the lab was state of the art, including an electronicly controlled counter-pressure bottle filler. Though it only does one at a time, and capping is manual... Sudwerk, the pilot brewery produces some pretty good German-style beers, though is not as good as the food (which is amazing)All and all, I was sold on the campus -- pretty much entirely pedestrians an bicycles. There were busses, delivery trucks and public safety vehicles, but no cars were allowed on campus. The town of Davis has a much better feel than Chicago for me.
