Meantime are getting there but, for a long time, it was hard to get a pint of any of their beers anywhere else that tasted even nearly as good as they do at the Greenwich Union.<br /><br />Fuller's beers are pretty consistently good in London but they only achieve that through some rigorous quality control inspections. They're often ropy as Hell outside London.<br /><br />I don't think I can really fault Sierra Nevada, though. Even good old SN Pale Ale takes me aback every time I drink it because it's so good.Baileyhttp://boakandbailey.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-72747389464763790972010-01-05T17:35:06.719+00:002010-01-05T17:35:06.719+00:00Chunk - SNPA is still a great beer, draught or bot...Chunk - SNPA is still a great beer, draught or bottle, I don't tend to disect most beers I have, I drink them because I like them and because they're available. This is probably where I slip up and tend to drink more than I should, because I enjoy the beers I'm drinking at the time and instead of moderating slightly I'll session something like Torpedo or Brewdog Punk IPA.<br /><br />Sid - Dogfish head are now a lot more available than they were 12 months ago as Vertical are bringing them in (apparently) so I look foward to the life and limb.rabidbarflyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02287790634237896071noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-65610711088363005242010-01-05T16:54:12.128+00:002010-01-05T16:54:12.128+00:00Nicely said Glyn, and thanks for the plug.

Beer and brewers don't need to be extreme, and SN are a good example of sticking to their principles and being successful.<br /><br />Latest news from New England is that their collaboration beer with Dogfish Head (called Life & Limb, and there's also a version called Limb & Life, I believe) was released at an event at Redbones beer bar in Somerville (sort of Boston) and was sold out in a few hours. So, a 'spooge'-type reaction for SN...Sid Bogglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07452473947039475736noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-275460775475418986.post-76024173764205102512010-01-05T12:32:58.267+00:002010-01-05T12:32:58.267+00:00Still havent got round to trying this one. Sierra ...Still havent got round to trying this one. Sierra Nevada pale ale is my beer of choice at the moment. There are times when I don't want to disect and pull apart the beer I'm drinking. I just want something I know tastes great. Something I can enjoy without any brain power or feeling like I've missed a chance to fully appreciate what I'm drinking. Sierra Nevada pale ale (along with Punk IPA) is that beer at the moment.<br /><br />Your point about quantity is totally relevant because, to fit the above category, the beer must be readily available. I can honestly say, the size of the brewer doesn't cross my mind. If it tastes good, great. If it's easy to get hold of, even better!<br /><br /><a href="http://www.beerbirrabier.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Chunk</a>Markhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09280318504737098116noreply@blogger.com
