Hundreds of Breweries Tell Sierra Nevada "We're In" on Wildfire Relief Beer

22. Unfortunately

you point out one of the things that I'm not too fond of in SC, the preference seems to be for wimpy beer. I live only an hour and a half from a great brewery, Westbrook, and I'll be damned if I can find it on tap in my town, or even in the next one.

But when I moved to NY in 2007 (from the Pacific Northwest), I found the place to be a craft beer desert in comparison. Then, things started moving, and now the NYC area has some world-quality microbrews. I'm sure that with the number of people migrating from the Northeast to the Southeast, things will start looking up here. It's already happened in North Carolina.

I certainly hope SN will brew this in their Fletcher, NC brewery, while SN beers on tap are hard to find, the bottles and cans get excellent distribution here.

Why an IPA? Well, my figuring is that the name "Resilience" implies boldness, and they didn't want to use a lackluster brew to send that message.
