We have two herfs a year at the Brewery. One in Spring and one in late summer/Fall. My fav? Bigfoot Ale!:banger

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Enjoyed a SN Porter yesterday myself, very good.:tu

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I'm here!!!

Wow!!! Why didn't I think of starting a SN lovers Thread???

Recently I bought a growler at the brewery and I have been enjoying new offerings from the brewery every couple of weeks!!!

The Brewery is my second home!!! My wife and I were even married there!!!

As Bob mentioned we do a couple of Herfs each year in Chico and have lunch at the brewery!!!

BTW - The new Bigfoot is out right now!!!:tu

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I love em all! Anniversary, chico harvest, porter, stout, pale ale, barley wine, kellerweis. I do need to try the rest

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Estate, but it's like $10-13 for a bomber (22oz), so most of the time I'll go for the "regular" Pale Ale, although the Celebration 2009 really impressed me.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I forgot the Celebration Ale! Always look forward to that too.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

In my refrigerator right now:

Harvest Ales: Southern Hemisphere, Chico Estate, and Dry Hops
Pale Ale
Celebration
Stout
Anniversary
Kellerweis
Pale Bock
Summerfest
Glissade
Bigfoot 2008, 2009, 2010

Look for the new 30th Anniversary soon!!!

We got to sample this one at the last Sierra Nevada Herf!!!:dr

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I do like SN.
My Favorite is the Celebration 2009 first time I ever had it was this year man is that stuff Tasty :dr:dr:dr

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Big SN fan here, too, just happen to be on the wrong coast... :(

My top 3 would have to be Bigfoot, Torpedo, and the regular ol' fashion Pale Ale.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I love Celebration, but as it's only available seasonally, and loses it's "zip" when aged, I only buy it prior to the Holidays. Year-round, Torpedo is da' bomb.

Ha! Torpedo is da' bomb. I kill me. :r

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Yes. The 2009 was way better than the 2008!!!:tu

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Torpedo, bigfoot, and celebration are all favorites.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I like the Stout.:ss

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I'm loving this one right about now!!!

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a SN Pale Ale on tap!

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Except sitting in the SN brewery enjoying it!!!;)

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

The 2009 Bigfoot Ale is very good in my opinion. Can't get enough of it.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I love SN beers. My favorite is the Celebration, followed by Torpedo. Usually I will have summerfest in the fridge during the correct time of the year.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I bought a 6'er of 2010 Bigfoot the other day. Super now, and should be stellar with some age on it.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

What does everyone think about the Wet Hop Ale? I love the stuff!

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Aren't all of the SN beers wet hopped?

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Im not sure actually. This beer uses hops that are used in the brewing process the same day they are picked

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Oh, you mean Harvest ale.

I didn't find it all that different than some of their other beers, in other words, I can't tell what using wet hops did for it. Could also be that since smoking lots of cigars and drinking hoppy beer together don't tend to lend themselves well to accurate taste testing.



And it looks like I was mistaken - only certain harvest ales are wet hopped.

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Adam, You need to make it to the next SN Herf in Chico!!!;)

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

Agree...Great Beer :dr

Re: Sierra Nevada lovers
 

I have filled my growler up twice with this one!!!

Great with cigars!!!
