There were some good points. His NSA, Zbigniew Brzezinski, did much to provoke the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, which contributed to the end of the USSR. I would have to say that legalizing homebrewing ranks up with this.steveshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08862590608695420004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-84629564757598951982007-11-16T11:11:00.000-05:002007-11-16T11:11:00.000-05:00I really like Sierra Nevada as a whole.

Their beers often serve as an easy transition for people who are coming in from the proverbial cold of the Coors Light realm; a kind of Real Beer 101 course.<BR/><BR/>I think "quintessential" is a good way to put it, especially with the Brown Ale, the Porter, and the Pale Ale. I had my girlfriend and one of her female friends over to a little establishment a while ago, and had them trying some Sierra Nevada stuff. It is very easy to point to the different components of their beers and say, "that sweetish taste is malt" or "that citrusy-sourish bite is hops."<BR/><BR/>Plus, their beers are very versitile. You can enjoy one. Or you can enjoy thirteen. Too often, I partake in the latter.B Machttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01874975455332269325noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-84670674298268495712007-11-16T11:06:00.000-05:002007-11-16T11:06:00.000-05:00The only light beer I'd really consider is Sammy A...The only light beer I'd really consider is Sammy A light. If you have a suggestion, though, I will review one using the guidelines so I'm at least objective.Noahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14345059376742159966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-48124834374327861982007-11-16T10:56:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:56:00.000-05:00Oh, I have been wondering, is there any point to r...Oh, I have been wondering, is there any point to reviewing a light beer? Or are there too few good ones to bother?Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14594994.post-74809982773490099962007-11-16T10:55:00.000-05:002007-11-16T10:55:00.000-05:00I think this style is becoming my favorite.

Nice and refreshing and tastes great pretty cold.<BR/><BR/>I really enjoy Michigan Brewing's version and will check out Sierra Nevada's take. I am surprised I haven't yet. <BR/><BR/>Good review as usual. <BR/><BR/>Oh, BTW, I am might be late to the party, but check out my take of this blog being rated at a post-grad reading level.Bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12669616484991718478noreply@blogger.com
