What about Sierra Nevada then?
Regards, Jerry "Life is too short for cheap beer" Moos
Jerry, Sierra makes great beer. But after 20 years in the business selling beer, mostly imports and Micros, I'm still a fan of European beers and ales. Unfortunately, by the time some of these get of over this side of the lake, something is lost in taste. Also, preservatives are added and this takes something away. Don't get me wrong, there are some great beers made in the US, but we have a little to go to catch the makers overseas. The have only had a two thousand year head start.
