    do you wish they would bring back Glissade, or is Ruthless Rye better?

    I know their completly different styles, but i would say Ruthless Rye wins.

    I preferred Glissade. I just wasn't very impressed with Ruthless Rye.

    I'm not a huge fan of Ruthless Rye but I do like it better than Glissade.

    I like anytime there's another well distributed bock so I'm going to agree with you. But Ruthless Rye was mighty tasty.

    I think Ruthless is pretty bad, whereas Glissade was good. Not enough American bocks in the market. Otter Creek has made a fine and even cheaper replacement.

    Ruthless wins..and I really like it! Probably drank more ruthless than anything else since it came out. At about a buck a bottle, ~7%, and a ton of flavor..awesome 'everyday' beer.

    Not crazy about either, but glissade was a better option for me. Ruthless just wasn't my thing, although I think it's here to stay after the positive reviews on it

    Ruthless is a pretty tasty brew,never cared for or bought much of glissade.

    Cheers All.....

    Glissade was a solid beer, I did enjoy it but the style does not excite me. I am not going to be buying a lot of Ruthless but given the choice between the two I am almost always picking Ruthless.

    Ruthless Rye in a landslide. I loved that beer and will be drinking it each year when it comes out.

    I found Glissade to be good for the style, but the style is extremely boring to me personally. I love the spicy pepper notes in Ruthless Rye and have been drinking it regularly since it came out.

    Ruthless all the way. There's very little rye beer in our market, & having another tasty one year-round is excellent.

    Ruthless was ok but I do miss Glissade.

    I really like Ruthless. Glissade was decent.

    I actually liked them both, but I will take a good rye beer like Ruthless over most styles.

    I'm on a rye beer kick and I found Ruthless to be solid with a great price point. Stuff seemed to go pretty quick around here compared to Glissade too so I'd be surprised if it wasn't a better seller overall for Sierra Nevada. Cool packaging probably didn't hurt.

    Bring back Glissade. There are enough IPA's out there and some other styles are really underrepresented (i.e. maibock)
