Sweet basket TOB!
Just want to give a shout out to Sierra Nevada. We all love our big beers (Victory, DFH, ect) but SN is one of the pioneers of the craft brewing industry. They were at it in the early 80's when you walked down the beer isle and it was covered with bud/mich, coors ect. You know, the dark ages.
Well Sierra was the one lone bright spot of creativity out there, and held on in the face of big brother brew and T+A beers.
They may have some big beers, but none I seen here on the right coast. What they do provide here is world class beers that are simply done right.
I won't give the complete history of SN (I'm sure randy will provide that

So please, before I get off my soap box, go down to the beeratorium and pick up a 6 of steam/porter/stout/PA whatever, and as throw back one of their lovely products, say thank you Mr SN for hanging tough all those years.
