The Sierra Nevada Story

The Sierra Nevada Brewery Story

As Presented by Co-Founder Ken Grossman

sierra-nevada-logo

On December 17, 2010, Sierra Nevada Brewing hosted the last of that year’s quarterly beer dinners held in the Big Room at the Brewery. One of the highlights was a presentation given by Sierra Nevada co-founder Ken Grossman. Throughout the dinner, in between courses, he told the story of how Sierra Nevada Brewery began, complete with slides. By complete happenstance, I happened to be sitting on a riser directly in front of the presentation, so I set up my Flip camera and taped most of it. The talk is separated into 8 parts, since that’s how the presentation was given. I missed about 30 seconds or so of part 7 because my Flip ran out of time and it took me that long to remember I could use my regular camera to record video. It’s just over an hour, and each part is in order below. Enjoy.
