Sierra Nevada Brewing Company Field Trip

Welcome to Chico!

I got the chance to visit the Sierra Nevada Brewing Company up in Chico, CA as part of an industry tour trip the other day. Sierra Nevada is most known for making delicious, hoppy beers like Torpedo and their Pale Ale. If you've never had the opportunity to tour a brewery or visit Chico, I recommend visiting this one. They are the 6th largest brewery in America and 2nd largest craft brewery by sales volume at the time of this writing. Aside from volume, the brewery prides itself for being pioneers in both brewing and environmental consideration.

Russian River Brewing Company Field Trip

It's MLK weekend 2014. What does the Northern California division of Greens and Machines decide to do on it's day off? Make the pilgrimage to Russian River Brewing Company of course. My roommate and I, joined by our friend Padawan Kannan of "My Lack of Writing Skill", set off on our journey across Northern California to try the legendary brews of Russian River. Russian River Brewing Company is most known for their IPAs, specifically Pliny the Elder and Pliny the Younger. Although Younger is not ready yet, Elder is still worth going to get. Additionally, they make quite a few sour beers. This was a perfect opportunity to load up on craft beer and try a sour.
