An Ale to Celebrate

SN Celebration Ale is a great addition to any Holiday celebration...or to any happy hour. A milder version of their original pale ale...this beer will not overwhelm any holiday meal. I would drink it year round if it were available.

BEER: Bear Republic Hop Rod Rye Specialty Ale

Bear Republics Hop Rod Rye is not a beer I would traditionally try, however, Bear Republic has yet to fail me, so I decided to give it a try. I was pleasantly surprised to say the least. This beer is very similar in characteristics to Bear Republics Racer 5. With that said you can taste a strong rye overtone, which is flavorful and robust. I would definitely recommend this beer to conservative traditionalists.

BEER: Anderson Valley Brewing Co. Boont Amber Ale

Anderson Valley makes a nice amber ale. I havent had this on tap before and definitely enjoyed the malt and hop flavors that this amber presents. I got this beer @ Nishiki Sushi on 16th street in Sacramento. 2 dollar drafts on tuesday nights.

BEER: Stone Brewing Co. Sublimely Self- Righteous Ale

Stone Brewing is my favorite brewery in the entire world. They make my favorite Beer (Stone IPA), they make the best strong ales's, and they have by far the best label designs in the entire industry. With that said, This reproduction of stone anniversary ale year 11 is absolutely amazing. It has an amazingly complex sweet to bitter cycle that sends your taste buds on a roller coaster ride. The front is sweet not sugary, and the back is bitter in a very tasty way. I recommend this seasonal ale to anyone that is looking to experience an amazing beer, I also reccomend this beer to anyone that is trying to move up in the beer world. It is strong enough to show you what you have been missing, but not so strong that you will be scared back to Coors.lt

BEER: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

The Beer of my youth! IF you havent tried SN Pale Ale, I would suggest crawling out from whatever rock you have been living under, and give your taste buds a rush of joy. If you have tried this beer then you already know that fresh SN on tap is as good as it gets.

BEER: Sierra Nevada Summerfest

Sierra Nevada Summerfest is definitely one of my favorite summer beers in the seasonal market. Has wonderful aroma, and is light/refreshing without losing any flavor.
