Sierra Nevada better watch itself now that it's brewing in South Carolina.

There's a big difference between NC and SC besides just the name. As was stated, it says, Mills River, NC right on the label. Get out of TX once in awhile, there are 49 other states to visit...

Calm down. Simple mistake and again it was tongue in cheek regarding Sierra. I'm not a Texan either, just sentenced to live there for a few years. Back on the West Coast where I belong.

I'm going to TX to see family not to far in the future. Plan on a side trip to the western part.

Might have to start another thread on states we have been to.

Another thread if I ever get my pictures from Mills River uploaded to the inter webs.

West Texas is straight up prairie. When we moved we drove from Dallas nearly 10 hours before we got to El Paso. Between the two is open land, small towns, and lots of highway.

Hit up Jester King if you can get to the Austin Area. All sours, but some are very mild. The have a <3% saison that I have found on sale for $3. One of my top beers.

I have nothing against Texas at all. Dallas was good to us while we were there. I just prefer the beach where my heater runs 30 times a year and the AC 10.

When we got to Dallas the craft beer movement was just getting into swing and there was one solidly good brewery. When we left there were offerings across the gamut from some very solid breweries. Some not so solid breweries exist, and nature has already culled at least one in the last year.

Like I mentioned in another thread, I miss the Texas pride. I tend to avoid chain restaurants as much as possible. Eating at local places often meant at least 4 Texas beers on draft. There are places in Dallas and Austin that only serve Texas beers. That exists to a point where I am at, but I am not in San Diego or the Bay Area. LA is still catching on and I'm a good hour north west which a is almost its own microcosm.

I'm more after the Davis Mountains, Big Bend NP, and Marathon, Alpine, Marfa. Then swing up to Carlsbad Caverns, then Santa Fe again.

Been to JK, like the town of Drippin' and the Barber Shop, have been to Craft Pride and Bangers in Austin. Know the Q scene. Have a niece in Austin, and the BIL has been in Brownsville for 40+ years. Yeah, I have some experiences in TX. but want to see a little more. People in Michigan also have a similar pride in their state.

It says "Brewed and Bottled by Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. Chico CA & Mills River NC" on the label.

If you are ever in Asheville NC area, the brewery is beautiful, the tour is one of the best.
It was tongue in cheek.

I've been to Chico numerous times. If Asheville is half as nice as Chico, North Carolina is lucky to have them.

Think of what they could with a clean slate and $250 million.
I prefer to think of what I could do with a clean slate and $250 million.

I just want a clean slate. ;)

With $250 million the state of your slate is irrelevant.

I get the tongue in cheek part, but a simple mistake is fat fingering the keyboard. Borth Carolina, Gorth Carolina, Horth Carolina, Jorth Carolina, Morth Carolina... ;)

I do apologize for the confusion. I used to get pissed when people asked if I was from LA and people that live in way Northern California get pissed when people assume they live in the Bay Area.

FWIW - this is what the Mills River, NC brewery looks like (not my photo). Even the drive in is spectacular.

It's not a popularity contest, it's beer!
