    ETA for the new NC brewery? I agree that standard/seasonal SN beers need to make it to the northeast (me) in a more timely fashion. The geek beers can still be made in Chico & take their time getting here. :wink:

    wow, that's Ridiculous...yeah i've Noticed ovr the Last few "Seasons" - the Lineups are coming out Earlier & Earlier (tryin' to get the Edge on the "other guy" breweries 'eh?!) ;P

    - Pretty soon it'll be Pointless 2 call them Seasonal Beers!

    Yes, our spring seasonals shift around quite a bit. In 2008-2009 it was E.S.B. (Early Spring Beer.) 2010-2011 was Glissade Golden Bock, and 2012-20?? is now Ruthless Rye IPA.

    We're hoping to be making beer in NC by fall 2013. The kettles will arrive soon and the fermenters will follow. We're super-strapped for space in Chico so it can't get going soon enough!

    Woohoo! Ruthless Rye! Often turns up at Trader Joe's in Cali for $7 a six pack.

    The Ruthless Rye beats out any of the former spring beers hands down. Looking forward to picking some up tomorrow and very excited that Bigfoot will arrive earlier this year!

    I vote that Ruthless goes year round when you switch it out for another seasonal.

    When autumn comes I can't wait for the Harvest Wethop and Celebration. Now Ruthless in December? It's a Festivus miracle! Not as enthused by Tumbler or Glissade, but Torpedos year round so I'm good. Gotta give Sierra dap for keeping prices down as well.

    I'm sure you aren't alone. There's a naysayer for every beer no matter how good it is. Do you like Torpedo?

    There were a few days of sublime beer experiences last winter/spring on some promising late Feb/early March days sitting on the porch enjoying Ruthless Rye. It really got me through to the blissful days of full spring and watching my hops sprout in the bineyard, the asparagus poking their heads up in the garden, and the onions start to grow in the raised beds all the while listening to spring training games on the radio.
    Does anyone have any other beers to recommend as a match for the greatness of spring time?

    I found this on Beer Pulse today which is in direct conflict with what I saw (and purchased) last night:

    Seems to be in conflict. The beer store I work at will be getting Ruthless tomorrow... Can't wait!
