SIERRA NEVADA HARVEST ALE


Spring is our favorite time for Vegetables. Artichokes and Asparagus are our special guests on the dinner table. What beverage goes with these rewards of spring? The first answer is: “The best beer is the one in front of me”. If we have a choice, a nice ‘Sierra Nevada’ is always a treat. Today we have procured a “Sierra Nevada Harvest Ale”. This 6.7 percent alcohol by volume, top fermenting yeast, “Cascade and Centennial” wet hops from Yakima Washington, is a powerful tasting and very ‘Hoppy’ beer. It is a perfect pairing with some raw Asparagus and a piece of ‘Chicharon Compresado’.


You may ask what Chicharon Compresado is? You will have to stay tuned. I will give you a hint that it is a pork belly product made in heaven.

We have consumed our beer and snacks. We are ready to dance. We have a favorite tune at the Chilebrown house hold. Take a listen. I am not sure of all the words, but I can guess he is singing about Spring and Asparagus.
