I just saw the Harvest Fresh Hop Ale this last weekend. The 2 bottles I bought didn't last long. Nice hoppy flavor.
Double Yum! |

Oh my....I went to the tavern last night, and this was the featured special ($2.50 a pint). I had four. 
This beer was really, really good. |

Considering the '07 hop/grain harvest related thread, maybe this should have been a sour or super low OG beer. |

If you liked the Harvest Ale, you'd love the 20th Street ale on draft at the brewery. It's right up the street from me.....neener neener  |

Shane, it is basically another Harvest Ale that SNBC used their own hops from their hop yards adjacent to the brewery. It is in draft only at this time and it is wonderful. I sent you a PM if you'd like to hook up for a pint or three. |

Here is the description from their beer menu.
Full-bodied ale that uses our estate grown Cascade, Centennial, and Chinook hops in the kettle boil. Flowery, hoppy nose and aggressive hop on the palate will make this a favorite of anyone that loves our humulus-lupulus-dosed ales.
Hey Bob, I wish that we had ordered a picture of this instead of the Harvest Ale. |

I hear you Tom. If I knew HA was going to be bottled for sale in the store, I would've went with the 20th Street. |

Sierra Nevada was at the Dixie Cup last weekend. Steve Groseman did a great presentation on their company. Of course, they brought lots of beer, including a few kegs of Harvest Ale and Anniversary Ale, plus a few cases of bottles. Don't bother to ask about what he said, the weekend was a blur.... |

He was introduced as Steve Grossman. Here is a poor picture of the first slide and one of Steve. I thought Steve and Ken were brothers...

Steve Grossman is the brother of the more well-known Ken Grossman, founder of Sierra Nevada Brewing. Complicating matters is the fact that another Steve, Steve Dressler, is SN's longtime head brewer. I heard Dressler speak at MCAB a number of years ago. |
