2. It's sippable...
3. I'd drink it again if you gave it to me
4. I'll order it from the menu

About the Brewery: 
Ken Grossman, founder of Sierra Nevada, always chased curiosity, starting with backyard tinkering and covert science projects. This passion led to his ultimate discovery: homebrewing.

Ken opened The Home Brew Shop in Chico, experimenting with hop-forward flavors when American beer was known for playing it safe. To start his brewery, Ken scavenged salvage yards and defunct dairies, hand-building Sierra Nevada’s original brewhouse.

On November 15, 1980, he tested his first batch of craft beer, a heady stout crafted with a 13-hour labor of love. After one sip, he knew he had a keeper. The Pale Ale that followed sparked a craft beer revolution. The adventure continues, and Sierra Nevada's curiosity is still brewing.

About the Brewery: 
The idea for Bitchin’ Kitten has been fermenting in the minds of Michael and Brigitte Crosson for decades. Michael, a beer lover, and Brigitte, a cat advocate, found inspiration in Brigitte’s cat, Shadow, who earned the “bitchin’ kitten” nickname after an amusing encounter with a White Russian cocktail. This incident inspired the name for Michael’s homebrews. In 2019, Michael’s Bitchin’ Kitten beer won second place in a Craft Brewers competition, prompting the couple to pursue their dream. With refined recipes and perfect timing, they brought Bitchin’ Kitten Brewery to life, crafting delicious beers with a touch of feline inspiration.
