Located in Chico, California, Sierra Nevada Brewing is one of the most popular microbreweries currently operating in the United States. Their pale ale is world renowned, and the brewery produces about 800,000 barrels of beer per year. In the winter they brew a special seasonal called "Celebration" which is much like the pale ale only hoppier with hints of oak and cinnamon. This beer is consistently rated high in BeerAdvocate.com's Top 25 list. In 1989, after moving the brewery to its current location, Ken added The Sierra Nevada Taproom and Restaurant, which serves lunch and dinner.
