    Currently drinking Summerfest, and honestly I'm a little disappointed by the lack of flavor.

    Sentimental: Celebration Ale. Got me into craft beer, and it's still a damn fine IPA.
    General: Torpedo. One of the best IPA's out there.

    Do they make a beer that isn't outstanding? I love Torpedo, Celebration, Old Chico, Ruthless Rye, and of course the original Pale Ale. Recently I had Ovila and that is a really damn fine beer as well

    I love just about every Sierra Nevada beer out there! The Pale Ale is pretty much what got me into craft beer!
    Cheers :slight_smile:

    Wow! How was it?

    My favourite SN Brews are in no particular order.

    Torpedo, Narwahl, Pale Ale (goto beer!), Ruthless Rye and Celebration... There's too much choice!

    I appreciate the hell out of SN! Everything I've tried from them I've enjoyed - never had a bad brew from them, and most are outstanding.

    Some of my personal favorites:
    1. Kellerweis Hefe - What a fantastic surprise from SN the first time you try one of these. Such a legit hefe and sadly underappreciated.

    2. Summerfest - A killer Czech pils that is really hitting the spot as the weather warms. The 12 pack can format kicks ass.

    3. Torpedo - A timeless classic that stands tall in the face an increasingly crowded IPA market.

    Honorable mention: Shout out to Porter and Stout. Both outstanding and under-mentioned.

    All, why? Because they just built a wonderful new brewery 10 min from the house, if I drive slow.

    Whenever I show up to a friends place with a 4 pack of torpedo, they know I will be in rare form in a mere hour.

    SNPA has fallen out of favor with me. Have they changed the recipe? It used to be a favorite. Now, I just can't stomach it.

    Especially when you stop by the pub for a couple of pints just before. :wink:
