Beer of the Week: Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

By -



Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a remarkable beer: its focus on American hops has established it as the country’s signature pale ale. “When we first brewed our pale ale in 1980, we knew it was a departure from what was available, but as serious home brewers, it was what we and our friends loved to drink,” said Ken Grossman, founder and owner of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. His brand is now worth an estimated $1 billion. “We honestly had no idea it would have such staying power or such an impact.  We’ve continued to brew to our originalrecipe—using lots of whole-cone Cascade hops and 100 percent two-row malt—and still embrace natural bottle conditioning. We started out with a strong vision for what we wanted pale ale to be, flavor-wise, and stuck to the highest standards without ever compromising on bitterness or hop flavor. I think that even after 35 years, our clear focus still shines through in the beer.” It’s been more than 35 years since Sierra Nevada Pale Ale was created, and it's still an amazing beer. Innovation is a great thing, but classics such as this will always remain a flagship. So if you haven’t had a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, please do yourself a favor and go get one… NOW!

Beer of the Week- Full Moon Rising

Recently we visited and tried Hopster’s Brewing company, located in Boston, MA and it lived up to the expectations. Our experience at this Seaport establishment was great, they had a huge variety of their locally crafted beers to try alongside their amazing food, in particular their pizza and wings. For us, our favorite was by far the “Full Moon Rising”. This crafted beer was extremely refreshing and hit the spot, with its creamy feel and subtle lemon and coriander taste. Not only was it great but a decent value for a 16 oz. (4.5%ABV) draft for $7.00. If anyone is in interested in having a great experience with nice music playing in the background, then Hopster’s Brewery is the place for you! We highly recommend it and try the Full Moon Rising. Location: 51 Sleeper St. Boston, MA 02110 Open: 11am-1am
