I observed a control room with 4 people just pushing buttons. That\u2019s all they do as \u2018brewers\u2019. The only manual labor in the entire process is pouring hops into the kettle at flame-out. Everything else is done automatically.<\/p>\n<p>Although, I can commend Sierra Nevada for 3 things.<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>The tour was awesome. While our guide was very PR \/ Marketing speak and couldn\u2019t answer a few of my questions, it was a really good tour that took nearly 2 hours including a half hour tasting of their core and pilot beers (that are only available on the tasting).<\/li>\n<li>The fact that Sierra Nevada setup an east coast facility is wonderful. Sure, they save a lot of money in shipping but the east coast has fresher SNPA now because trucks leave NC instead of Chico, CA when heading to atlantic distributors.<\/li>\n<li>Finally, the on-site draft list was really great. Tons of beers I have never seen before. I also finally got to rate Sierra Nevada Pale Ale. I\u2019ve skipped rating it because I wanted to try it at the source. This was a really special experience.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>Here are a few more photos:<\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/25947484094\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1595\/25947484094_e7e5e7fe0f_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/26526456666\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC\"  width=\"427\"  height=\"640\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1523\/26526456666_4a57470155_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/25949549403\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1441\/25949549403_820a20f4dd_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/26526463876\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1554\/26526463876_d4df977f00_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/26526465336\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1648\/26526465336_1bb8e3f7a9_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a title=\"View &#039;Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC&#039; on Flickr.com\" href=\"https:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/adamjackson\/26460128542\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\"><img  loading=\"lazy\"  decoding=\"async\"  class=\"aligncenter pk-lazyload\"  style=\"margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;\"  src=\"data:image\/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAEAAAABAQMAAAAl21bKAAAAA1BMVEUAAP+KeNJXAAAAAXRSTlMAQObYZgAAAAlwSFlzAAAOxAAADsQBlSsOGwAAAApJREFUCNdjYAAAAAIAAeIhvDMAAAAASUVORK5CYII=\"  alt=\"Sierra Nevada Brewing, NC\"  width=\"640\"  height=\"427\"  border=\"0\"  data-pk-sizes=\"auto\"  data-pk-src=\"https:\/\/farm2.staticflickr.com\/1638\/26460128542_c180c30315_z.jpg\" ><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sierra Nevada is huge.
