Sierra Nevada Tap Takeover

Tap takeover featuring Chico-born Sierra Nevada with two limited release beers: The Audition Double IPA and the Barrel-Aged Biere de Garde.
Audition Double IPA, 8.5% ABV: This is a true "West-Coast" style double IPA using huge amounts of hops, both in the kettle for flavor and afterwards in the torpedo to impart a massive hop aroma. The light malt body and finish hide the power in the deceptively drinkable hop-bomb. Barrel-Aged Bière de Garde, 10.2% ABV: Literally "beer for keeping," Bière de Garde was originally a malt-forward beer brewed in the winter months and held for spring. Aged in tawny port barrels, our Biere de Garde offers bright notes of stone fruit balanced with mellow toffee flavors and a sweet, round mouth feel.
