Solar System

SNBC solar system
“We have our own solar system.”
Ha!! True enough – and said quite innocently and proudly (not arrogantly) by Terence from Sierra Nevada Brewing Company.
On the tour that Steve helped line up and Terence so generously gave us, we were highly impressed by the fact that the ‘solar system’ they have installed at their brewery provides the huge lions share of their energy needs.
How many other businesses can say the same?
They do it because it’s the right thing to do too. Not to get attention, not to show off. Quite the contrary.
It’s their culture that fits this kind of action and this action that fits their culture.
Beers up to you all SNBC!

For Pete's Sake
Oct 5, 2009 Beer, Home Free Tour 2009
Pete in the Pub
Hats off to Pete and the Grand Teton Brewing Crew who provided us with a comprehensive and fun tour last week in Victor, Idaho. Having had their beers several times before, it was fun to see where the magic happens.
They earned a GABF medal (again this year) and were a very friendly beer focused crew. Nice variety of beers, including a certified organic ale and some cellar reserve choices. The dinner table bottles of the cellar reserve make for a really nice beers to give and also to share with friends.
It was a gorgeous crisp day and after Pete (Pub manager, whom Rob graciously set us up with), we headed out to hike. Pete also gave us a good recommendation of a good
Hiking & Good Beer
hiking trail close – which we dug into.
A refreshing beer after a 3 hour hike in freshies 12 – 18″ deep to rehydrate, savor and quench is a perfect way to enjoy a day.
Cheers!
