Sierra Nevada offers several beers year round, including Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sierra Nevada Stout, Sierra Nevada Porter, Sierra Nevada Kellerweis and Sierra Nevada Torpedo Extra IPA. Although Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is the most popular, fans of the brewing company sometimes include these year-round brews as the best of Sierra Nevada.
Other Sierra Nevada beers are offered only seasonally, and they are generally created to match the flavors or feelings of the seasons. A favorite Sierra Nevada seasonal beer for the holidays is Sierra Nevada Celebration Ale, a fresh hop ale that pairs well with meals eaten over the holiday season, such as turkey and stuffing.
Or do you remember Peach Pit or Black Vapor?
