I'm here!!!

Wow!!! Why didn't I think of starting a SN lovers Thread???

Recently I bought a growler at the brewery and I have been enjoying new offerings from the brewery every couple of weeks!!!

The Brewery is my second home!!! My wife and I were even married there!!!

As Bob mentioned we do a couple of Herfs each year in Chico and have lunch at the brewery!!!

BTW - The new Bigfoot is out right now!!!:tu

I love em all! Anniversary, chico harvest, porter, stout, pale ale, barley wine, kellerweis. I do need to try the rest

[T.G]

Estate, but it's like $10-13 for a bomber (22oz), so most of the time I'll go for the "regular" Pale Ale, although the Celebration 2009 really impressed me.

[AD720]

I forgot the Celebration Ale! Always look forward to that too.

[Skywalker]

In my refrigerator right now:

Harvest Ales: Southern Hemisphere, Chico Estate, and Dry Hops
Pale Ale
Celebration
Stout
Anniversary
Kellerweis
Pale Bock

I do like SN.
My Favorite is the Celebration 2009 first time I ever had it was this year man is that stuff Tasty :dr:dr:dr

[kaisersozei]

Big SN fan here, too, just happen to be on the wrong coast... :(

My top 3 would have to be Bigfoot, Torpedo, and the regular ol' fashion Pale Ale.

[BlackDog]

I love Celebration, but as it's only available seasonally, and loses it's "zip" when aged, I only buy it prior to the Holidays. Year-round, Torpedo is da' bomb.

Ha! Torpedo is da' bomb. I kill me. :r

[Salvelinus]

Torpedo, bigfoot, and celebration are all favorites.

There's nothing quite as satisfying as a SN Pale Ale on tap!

Except sitting in the SN brewery enjoying it!!!;)

[avid toker]

The 2009 Bigfoot Ale is very good in my opinion. Can't get enough of it.

[Khafre]

I love SN beers. My favorite is the Celebration, followed by Torpedo. Usually I will have summerfest in the fridge during the correct time of the year.

[BlackDog]

I bought a 6'er of 2010 Bigfoot the other day. Super now, and should be stellar with some age on it.

[smokeyandthebandit05]

What does everyone think about the Wet Hop Ale? I love the stuff!

[T.G]

Aren't all of the SN beers wet hopped?

[smokeyandthebandit05]

Im not sure actually. This beer uses hops that are used in the brewing process the same day they are picked

Oh, you mean Harvest ale.

I didn't find it all that different than some of their other beers, in other words, I can't tell what using wet hops did for it. Could also be that since smoking lots of cigars and drinking hoppy beer together don't tend to lend themselves well to accurate taste testing.



And it looks like I was mistaken - only certain harvest ales are wet hopped.
