Fresh off (recovering) our Live Blog of Idle Hands Sierra Nevada Night we have this review and blind taste test of Sierra Nevada Torpedo. Now Torpedo was the first beer we reviewed and just recently they followed the latest trend in craft beer… canning craft beers. In this review we revisit Sierra Nevada Torpedo and give a rating based on the canned version along with a discussion of the pros and cons of canning beers. This is a little longer video – but a two parter! Consider this part of our “Ken Burns” series of reviews. Cans! Nostalgia! Famous Documentarians!
This video takes us back to our roots in a different way, when apparently we couldn’t frame a shot… Imagine that Graham is talking when you hear his voice (because you don’t see him often) and check out this review from Sierra Nevada. Sierra Nevada made the news this week by announcing a East Coast Brewery Site so we decided to toss up a review of their new seasonal, Ruthless Rye. Ruthless joins the recent rye brews (Founders, Sixpoint) but with a interesting twist – watch to find out! Be sure to check out our ever growing collection of Sierra Nevada reviews – Torpedo – Southern Harvest – Ken and Fritz 30th
Remember when Sierra Nevada had their 30th Anniversary? They produced some amazing beers and today (or whatever day you read/watch this) the Beer Friends review the Fritz and Ken 30th Anniversary Ale. Fritz is Fritz Maytag, the owner and brewer of San Francisco’s Anchor Brewing Company and joined with Ken to produce a brew “as a nod to the dark ales and stouts that seduced both in the early years.” Birthday’s are the best when the guest get gifts… Beer! Anniversaries! Collaboration!
Finally it has returned: The Sierra Nevada Blind Tiger Extravaganza! One of The Beer Friends favorte breweries has come back to take over almost all of the Blind Tigers taps. This night started as just one Beer Friend headed down to one of his favorite NYC beer bars to sample some of Sierra Nevada’s finest offerings. It quickly turned into something bigger. How could one man attempt to tackle so many fine offerings…by himself? The choices were tough, but they were made. Here’s the best attempt by one man at recapping a truly epic event.
Numero One – Southern Hemisphere Harvest Ale 6.7%. – One of the rumors surrounding this event was that this will be one of the places that Sierra will unveil this years Harvest Ale. A fall brew from start to finish, this pour offers up hearty malts, seasonal spices reminiscent of October and a big hop character. I could definitely see myself drinking this one or the usual Harvest that comes to us New Yorkers throughout the fall season. It warms you, without taking away the drinkability or versatile flavors.
