The craft beer boom began with Sierra Nevada almost 35 years ago in Chico, California. That’s largely been the extent of the brewery scene in our city ever since. By comparison Bend Oregon has 17 breweries, with a smaller population than Chico. Portland has a much larger population than Bend, but they also have about…
I first experienced Fall Brewing Company’s beer at Barrel Republic, a self-serve beer bar in San Diego, during a Valentine’s Day chocolate and beer pairing. The beer that I had there was the 2 a.m. bike ride, a sessionable coffee stout, which ended up making for the best pairing out of over a dozen beers…
La Sirène Brewing is pretty unique with a focus on classic Belgian and French Farmhouse styles ales, based in Melbourne Australia. When I think of Australian beer I foolishly think Foster’s, not “small batches of unfiltered and unpasteurised beer, retaining the greatest amount of flavour and character…our bottled beers are naturally conditioned by refermentation and…

Most breweries talk about the brewing industry being a collaborative environment and say they support the home brewing community. Some breweries take that a step further and actually publish home brew clone recipes for their commercial beers. All commercial brewers started off as home brewers, so it’s really nice when they give back to the…
When it comes to beer Chico, California is known for Sierra Nevada. We love Sierra Nevada but the people who live in Chico know there’s more going on around here. Chico is increasingly becoming a rich craft beer environment. The CN&R does their annual Best of Chico contest, but they don’t really have any beer…
