Midway Hawker Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 (edited) I visited the Sierra Nevada Brewery yesterday for the first time in 13-14 years. It has changed a lot. Much bigger now (obviously). They have a gift shop and a place for visitors to check out some of the brewery. Of course they still have the pub and restaurant which is now expanded and includes a patio.. but the beautiful oak bar remains unchanged. The pub is fantasic! $2.25 for a full pint of Pale Ale!! I pay twice that at any local estabishment in town. And they have "The Sampler".. A 3oz sample of every beer they have on tap for $8.. This is what I had, as there are many beers they produce that they don't bottle that I've never had. Some of my favorites include the Brown Ale, the Best Bitter Ale, the Extra Special Pale, and the Schwarzbier (black beer). I'll try and provide a better review of all the beers soon (when I'm sober).. For now, I'll just say it was very nice to re-visit this place and I hope to do it again soon.
