Ah…Sierra Nevada, the classic American tale of entrepreneurial spirit and craftsmanship. With over a thousand startup breweries in planning, I tend to think they all need to have a little bit of the Sierra Nevada spirit in them to succeed.

On May 14, Del Ray Pizzeria is kick off American Beer Week with a huge seven course beer dinner featuring both new and old Sierra Nevada staples. Here’s the menu:
