Professionals Offer Praise to Sierra Nevada Pale Ale

“Sierra Pale is without question the benchmark. It’s the best American pale ale and one of the best beers of all time. Desert-island beer, for sure. Sierra is the gold standard. Anyone who doesn’t get that is clueless about quality and consistency.” —Bill Hyland, Bozeman Brewing Company “It’s inspiring in that it’s always the same perfect pale ale. Is it exciting? No! But the level of consistent quality is something all brewers should strive for.” —Josh Bushey, Two Rivers Brewing Company “For me and all the guys at the brewery, it’s a benchmark pale ale. For general beer consumers, it may be less “cool” to drink because it’s a “shelfie,” but it’s what I look for when I want a great, well-balanced beer. For the five of us here, it’s in all our top five. For some, it’s number one.” —Chris Anderson, Adirondack Pub and Brewery “It is a world classic. To say otherwise is to not understand beer.” —Graeme Hirstwood, Mcclellan’s Brewing Company
