Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale
Beer-a-Day #365 
The long, cold nights of winter are a little brighter with Celebration® Ale. Wonderfully robust and rich, Celebration® Ale is dry-hopped for a lively, intense aroma. Brewed especially for the holidays, it is perfect for a festive gathering or for a quiet evening at home.
Well, this is it. Three hundred sixty-five unique beers. 2009 has been quite a year, and not just for this little project. It’s time to celebrate.
Amber, clear, with a thick head. Nice citrusy and piney hops aroma. Nice bite from the dry hops. That’s good stuff.

After last year, I’ve been rather reticent to write up a beer tasting. But, well, the weather is getting rather “Spring-y” out there and, well, I’ve never seen this at my retailer. It’s a great time for a bock. They say: As winter begins its slide toward the sunny days of spring, we bring you

Beer-a-Day #291 Kellerweis is one of the only American Hefeweizens made using the traditional Bavarian style of open fermentation. This difficult and labor-intensive technique adds uncommon depth and flavor complexity. Our hazy-golden hefeweizen is deeply flavorful, refreshing and perfect for a sunny day. To serve, pour two-thirds into a glass, swirl and pour the rest.

Beer-a-Day #289 Sierra Nevada Torpedo Ale is a big American IPA; bold, assertive and full of flavor and aromas highlighting the complex citrus, pine and herbal character of whole-cone American hops. I’d been hearing a lot about this beer, but I wasn’t seeing it at any of my local retailers. I’m glad it came into

I love it, yet another reason to pour another pint. E-Fuel last year unveiled
