A new reason to get a growler: In honor of their 30th anniversary, popular IPA-maker Sierra Nevada Brewery is releasing a series of limited edition beers called The Sierra 30 that are collaborative efforts with other renowned brewers — one of the first releases, Fritz & Ken’s Ale, is a joint brew between Sierra founder Ken Grossman and Fritz Maytag of Anchor Steam fame and home-brewing evangelist Charlie Papazian. Ken also made this little documentary video in which he talks to the living pioneers from “the good old days” of the craft brewing movement, including Fritz and mustachioed beer historian Fred Eckhardt, who wrote the highly influential and oddly academic-sounding 1983 tome A Treatise on Lager Beers.
