    Kellerwies, Stout, Pale Ale, Summerfest... basically I haven't had a bad SN brew yet.

    Definitely the stout. Their harvest beers are excellent, as is Celebration, but the stout is perfect in just about every way. I used to pick it up for 8-9 dollars a sixer as well, which made it even sweeter.

    I respect them for what they do, their price point is good and you always know that you will get a quality beer with SN, so it's never a bad choice to grab an SN beer...I will always support them. But with that being said nothing I have had of theirs to date really blew me away, and I find some of their most hyped beers to be underwhelming (e.g. Celebration).

    Found an out-of-season prize at the grocery store today!

    I guess they had some forgotten in the back. I bought two cases, one going into storage.

    When I do computer work for friends and family I prefer to be paid with Torpedo. You just cannot go wrong with it.

    Total wine has Narwhal for $7.99. I bought a few 4 packs for storage. I like it a lot more now than when it first came out.

    I like Ruthless and miss Glissade. Glissade was fantastic and horribly underrated - delicious beer that fit it's season


    I do fear that Sierra Nevada is a company only fully appreciated by older guys

    Hard to pick just one but probably celebration with SNPA coming a close second. Can't wait to try my BA Bigfoot I've been saving. Drinking an ovila quad with plums and its just as good as any real Belgium quad. I agree that they hit it out of the park with any style they try.

    Pricing and availability considered, SN is one of my favorite breweries. Celebration, Northern Hemisphere, Torpedo, Bigfoot, Narwhal, and Kellerweis are the ones I love most, in that order.

    I got a small taste of BA Bigfoot at Tully's in Wells, ME, as they were so kind as to share the bottle they were gifted by the distributor, in lieu of actual distribution for sale. I remember it being pretty delicious, but I can't wait to crack a bottle at DLD next weekend.

    Also...I love that Ovila Quad with Plums...damn fine brew, that.

    SNPA may be the best readily available reasonably priced beers ever. I just love it and it I can't decide what to drink, I usually choose SNPA.

    a little more Sierra ass kissing... getting an extensive tour there last year, what i was equally blown away by (aside from their amazing beer expertise) is how eco conscious they are as a company. it's not something they really use as a big part of their marketing. but they easily could. the lengths they go to, and continue to improve on, are commendable to say the least
