Happy Birthday Laura Butterbaugh Woods
HARVEST- FRESH HOP ALE
1 pint 8 fluid ounces, 6.7% By VOL.
Brewed and Bottled by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co, Chico, CA
++++
FROM THE LABEL: "In 1996 we created Harvest Ale, Americas first fresh hop ale. Fresh hops are richer in natural hop resin producing unmatched aromatics and layers of spicy sweet notes that hop fanatics like us dream of all year. This year we harvested and brewed with 8,000 lbs of fresh hops in a single day's time. It sounds insane because it is. Then we did it again. But when you taste this years Harvest Ale, we think you'll agree it was well worth it."

FROM THE TOP LABEL: "Harvest Ale is brewed using only fresh picked, "wet" hops. Brewed with fresh undried hops preserves more natural hope resins and aromatic oils, producing layers of hope notes rarely experienced."

FROM THE MOUTH: Clear crisp night air, a roaring fire, good friends, food and a great tasting beer with a beautifully blended fresh hop taste. A
FROM THE GRILL: Pulled Pork Sandwiches- thank you Liz and thank you Kathy and Brian for the bonfire!
FROM THE STORE: Found this in my refrig- no idea where it came from.....
Death may be the greatest of all human blessings. Socrates

  1. Good test of a beer is when you want another one. Sierra Nevada's Harvest makes you want more. No designated driver needed as we walked home from the bonfire.
