The Littlest Hop Farmer
We’re growing some cascade hops to homebrew with and our two year old daughter Olivia helped us pick this year’s harvest.

It’s here. The day we’ve been waiting for since we picked our first Beer Label of the Week. Sierra Nevada has released their new seasonal, Flipside Red IPA. I’m sure a release party at Sierra Nevada’s pub in Chico is forthcoming but Flipside hit the shelves of their gift shop today and we scampered over…
I actually wish Brian Wilson the best. He was an awesome Giant. One of the best relief pitchers to ever wear the uniform, and always entertaining. I was always a fan. But he’s a Dodger now so it’s hard to pass something like this up. Here are my half-assed attempts, tweeted with a #beatla of…
Sierra Nevada Brewing recently released the 2013 edition of Narwhal, their latest beer in the “High Altitude” series. This imperial stout sits at 10.2 ABV and 60 IBUs. Let that be a warning to any curious “lite” beer drinkers, Narwhal has some serious heft. Narwhal 2013 is pitch black with a mocha, chocolate head that…
This is a bold prediction given he is currently in one of the biggest slumps of a down year of a streaky career, but Pablo Sandoval will have an award winning season in 2014.

Beer Camp allows people to help create new beers in Sierra Nevada’s pilot brewery. This year’s box includes #93 IPA, #91 Belgian-Style Black IPA, and #95 Imperial Red Ale.…
Beer Label of the Week will be a regular feature. We’ll pick an interesting craft beer label each week. It will be entirely based on the beer’s label, not the quality of the beer. We’ll stick with “craft beer” labels though…you have to have standards you know. This week we feature the just announced Flipside…
Clearly I’m not the only person to think of creating a list of favorite IPAs. I rounded up ten such lists, with mine at the top of course since it’s the best and all: IPADay 2013: Completely Objective List of the 10 Best IPAs 8 Portland Area IPAs You Should Be Drinking Top 10 Best…
OK, just kidding. This is obviously very subjective and I had a really hard time narrowing the list down to ten IPAs. Even within one beer style tastes vary wildly. Throw in Imperial IPAs, Black IPAs, etc. and it gets even crazier. My list is fairly California centric since I live in California and don’t…
