As usual, the artwork for the bottle is fantastic. In fact, this year's artwork is a design comprised solely of previous years label art through collaging bits and pieces together to form an entirely new piece. Bend Artist Kaycee Anseth Townsend said,... Read More »

I'll be honest and upfront right at the beginning of this post: I have been to camp before.   My parents used to send me away for the summers to a camp up in the Northeast Appalachians where I learned to shoot bow and arrows, ride horses, and break curfew.  Now I've got the chance to do it all again, except this time with beer (although probably without the bow and arrows).  Sierra Nevada Brewing...
