Sierra Nevada Pale Ale (what the Internet thinks)

Sierra Pale Ale, there is nothing more important

This is an appreciation post for Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I feel like I can’t have a beer geeky blog without more acknowledgment of the greatest of all time Pale Ale.

Yes, to many of us Sierra may taste outdated. But it is the greatest “outdated” taste of all time and the best palate-reset beer in the business.

And as we are about to see, as Craft Beer goes, so goes Sierra.

Sierra Pale is a great barometer for how beer/Craft Beer is going. Just look at the search volume for Sierra and it totally goes along with how popular Craft Beer has been in the past fifteen years

Making a Commitment To Seasonal Beers

“Quarktoberfest” Bavarian Festbier from Bottle Logic Brewing

I will admit that my standard IPA, Pales, Hazzies, lifestyle is getting a little boring.

A lot of beers are tasting the same. Only an occasional standout or crappy one disrupts the rhythm.

So I have decided to make a commitment to a different genre of beer, just to break it up. And I have chosen: Seasonals.

While it is true I might try one or two Seasonals (Sierra’s Celebration Ale or some random ass Pumpkin), I would quickly go back to my IPA routine.

But I am changing it up. This Oktoberfest season I have had four different Festbier Lagers (maybe a new record), and might have a couple more.

Then it will be on to Pumpkin beers, then Winter Ales, and so on.

Hopefully this will make things more interesting. At least give me some better knowledge of the Seasonals out there and help me enjoy my hoppy beers more when I sneak them in.

Let me know in the comments if you are trying something like this.

Hey This Was Fuckin’ Funny and You Didn’t Give A Shit: Don’t Forget Yo Roll Your Hazzies!

I did a hazzies beer rollin’ bit across the social medias the other night and it got a big “Meh!” From the fuckin’ Internets.

Eat it, you stupid Internet, THAT is quality content!! 🤣😂🤣🍻

Okay, well, it’s not THAT funny, I suppose.

But it is a real thing, rolling your hazy IPAs. Why? It mixes it. Gets the yeast sentiment moving around and makes for a more even beer. Hazzies require a little work, but worth it to most.

And Then I Was Like “Oh FUCK, This Is A Black IPA”

I was saving one more beer in the fridge for tailgating the finale of Kenobi. A beer from There Does Not Exist. They make excellent beers, many being IPAs and Pales and such.

I am thinking I have a WCIPA waiting for me but it turns out:

“Vague Future” from There Does Not Exist Brewing

Yep. Black IPA.

I forgot I did this. In an effort to change up my routine I mixed a BIPA in there.

It’s fine. I am working through it. It is well made for the style. Just not what I was wanting.

Note to self: Don’t get cute. Just get more WCIPAs next time.
