Beer Review 99: Sierra Nevada Ruthless Rye

January 26, 2012

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

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 – TorpedoSouthern HarvestKen and Fritz 30th

Beer Review 77: Sierra Nevada Fritz and Ken’s 30th Anniversary Stout

August 9, 2011

Hello Beer Friends Nation!

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!

New York City Craft Beer Events for the Week of 2/7/11

February 8, 2011

The Beer Friends are curious…What was your craft brew of choice for the Big Game?  Yes that’s right, the biggest sporting event of the year.  And no we’re not talking about the Superbowl.  We’re talking about Chris Paul’s 3rd Annual PBA Celebrity Invitational.  That’s right, the biggest sports superstars (Chris Paul, Reggie Bush), recording artists (Nelly, Lil’ Wayne) and PBA atheletes (PBA = Professional Bowling Association = You wouldn’t recognize their names if I told you).  Seriously though – What’d you drink for it?  I think a good Smokey Stout really brings out the bowling ball black flavor.  Although, going with a Belgian White Ale, maybe from Allagash, really brings out the 7-10 split.  Either way, we enjoyed the big game and hope you did too.  Let’s see what we have this week to celebrate your own bowling victory’s – finally breaking 100-points.

Tuesday, February 8th – Boulder Brewery Night @ Rattle n’ Hum, Manhattan:

Boulder Brewery was one of the Beer Friends favorite stops on our Colorado Brewery Tour and this Tuesday they’ll be stopping in our town, at Rattle n’ Hum, with their best selection of craft brews.  The list of brews is still hidden to the public but we can only imagine that it will include our favorites Mojo IPA, Sweaty Betty Blonde, Planet Porter and Cold Hop and we can only HOPE that they will bring some Killer Penguin and Never Summer Ale.  We also hope they pull the same move they did when we visited the brewery – 4 oz. tasting pours of all 15 of their brews that pour regularly for $13.  Let’s quickly do the math in our head on this one… 4 oz. X 15 = 60 oz.  That’s roughly 4.5 brews.  Will this happen in NYC on Tuesday?  Beer Gods, we hope so.

Rattle n’ Hum is located at 14 E 33rd Street between Madison and 5th Avenues.
