Hey, just got back from Chico and a visit to Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. Basser, you gave one hell of a tour. My buddies really enjoyed it. Hope more of the guys on the board take you up on the offer to visit. It truly was the experience I was looking for when I contacted you. There were a lot of things that were impressive, but probably the most impressive (and least expected) was the solar panel array...Will post pictures later. On the drive back remembered that I didn't get a proper picture of the group with Basser in it. But I know I squeezed him into a couple of pics.

Glad you enjoyed it. I love giving those types of tours because it lets me let you guys know more about what we do.The free lunch isn't bad either.... :frank:As Deerslyr mentioned, take me up on the offer. If you want to see the brewery behind the scenes just let me know, and I'll show you.MolBasser

I'm still trying to find the time to make it up there. Me and a buddy are dying to make the trip, but life keep getting in the way.

Baddog... just get thee to Chico! Basser will show you everything from grain delivery to post bottling/kegging and literally EVERYTHING in between. The cost of paying for Bassers lunch was "worth the price of admission". My buddies and I laughed at the schlubs taking the "public tour" because we knew that they were getting a fraction of what we had just seen.

Was pretty busy yesterday... will try and get the pics posted tonight. I didn't go too crazy and I'm sure I could have taken better pictures... so don't get your hopes up too high.

pfft, I think i've paid for Basser's salary the last few years given the amount of SNPA I've bought over the years.

I would be like that also if it were available to me.My B-I-L brought me back a few SNPA christmas time from his trip toSan Diego and man is it ever good. In fact I'm drinking the next best thing,a clone of it right now.I also had their Summer ale from a previous trip. Also great.Keep it up Mobasser.

How many cameras were there? :blush:Seriously, looks like a great time.

This picture represents (pretty much) the kegs that we fill with a single fermentor's worth of beer.We brew more than 3 times this amount every day.MolBasser

is there a reason half the glasses are 'fosted' in this pic. I assume it's the tasting and evaluation room, but I can't think of why all the glasses are the same shape but only half are clear glass.

[MolBasser]

The frosted glasses are to keep the taste panalists from evaluating the beer on sight.MolBasser

What is this thing?

Do you guys really keep your hops out in the open like this or is this temporary storage?

Totally Awesome
