Tonight we tried the Sierra Nevada Estate Ale, and the Telegraph California Ale, from the Port Bottle Shop in Carlsbad, CA. Unfortunately, Sierra Nevada only brews the Estate Ale once a year, and the batch we were able to try was brewed in August or September of last year, so it did taste a little stale. None the less it was still very good. It had a smooth taste, and a nice red amber color to it, perfect for the newbie beer drinker, and the seasoned vet. The cool thing about the Estate Ale, is that all the ingredients come from the actual Sierra Nevada Brewing facility in Chico, CA. We love Sierra Nevada, and Mike is a big fan of Chico for some reason, who knows, I guess there's just a bunch of cool people up there ;-).

The Telegraph California Ale was a little more lighter in taste, but had a similar amber color to it. It had a more tangy and fruity taste to it. The Telegraph Brewing Company is based in Santa Barbara, CA. Check out their website here, http://www.telegraphbrewing.com/.
