Finally, A Sierra Nevada Beer We Can Talk Shit About
Yesterday afternoon, I got a nice, simple email that nevertheless caused much undue consternation at Drunkspin Headquarters. It was from the new head of media relations (or whatever) at Victory Brewing, a mid-sized, widely distributed Pennsylvanian operation of which I am quite fond. I have public...
Hating Sierra Nevada Pale Ale Is For Suckers
One of the only things I dislike about writing this column is that no matter the topic of the day—be it my wife, my cat, the sports teams I root for, or even, on a slow day for me personally, beer—one of you hamless eggers is guaranteed to find a way to tell me that my position is invalid because I'...
Sierra Nevada Is Still The Freshest
Good afternoon, gang! How's tricks? DID YOU VOTE?! I won't buy you a beer unless you voted. Nah, just kidding, I won't buy you a beer regardless, and I also don't like to jump down non-voting throats. I cast my ballot, because I'm a paragon of virtue—plus I have a soft schedule and was already wea...
Sierra Nevada Flipside Red IPA Is A Decent "September Beer" Forgery
I talk to a lot of beer geeks these days, which isn't as bad as it sounds. But, brothers and sisters, it's still not always good. A lot of these conversations quickly devolve into pissing contests over who has spent more time waiting in brewery parking lots in Vermont or who's got a bigger stash o...

Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp 12-Pack, Ranked
Last week, I said that the current number of breweries in the United States—we're up to a bit more than 3,000—is unsustainable, and I was probably wrong. As long as these fledgling operations keep a modest focus on their home markets, there's no reason we can't have a German-style system that supp...
Nevada's Deonte Burton Throws Down The Dunk Of The College Season
It might surprise you to learn that Nevada point guard Deonte Burton is only 6-foot-1, because dudes that size aren't supposed to be busting out massive tomahawk dunks like it's no big deal. ...

Chris Ault, Creator Of The Pistol Offense, Will Leave Nevada After 28 Years
Chris Ault, the innovator behind the pistol offense and long, long-time head coach of Nevada Wolf Pack football, is officially stepping down after 28 (non-consecutive) years. In that time, Ault recorded some impressive statistics, including only two losing seasons in his tenure, and 27 seasons of o...
ESPN Bent Over Backwards Not To Say "Pistol" During The New Mexico Bowl, Then Said "Shotgun" During The Idaho Potato Bowl

David Segui Led A Parents' Uprising Against The Shady Coach At Bryce Harper's Junior College
Long before Bryce Harper injected D.C. with Natitude, he played for the College of Southern Nevada Coyotes. Harper was then the same athletic freak he is now. He left after one season because he was draft-eligible and the Nats offered a lot of money. But, according to sources quoted in the Las Veg...
About That Whole "Good Will Toward Men" Thing
It's Christmas Eve, but there was no peace on Earth in (apparently) heathen Hawai'i, as the first half of the Sheraton Hawai'i Bowl got ugly with a brief bit of violence after Southern Miss scored a touchdown to take a lead into the locker room. [ESPN]...
Nevada Has Sold 10 Tickets For Its Bowl Game
Hawaii is a long way away from everything, true. And the Sheraton Hawaii Bowl doesn't really care, because Nevada is on the hook for the entire allotment anyway. (It was 5,600 when the Wolf Pack played this game in 2009.) Sounds like a lot of military personnel are going to get to watch some free fo...

Need More Proof The BCS Is Fucked Up? Nevada Cost Themselves $1 Million By Beating Boise St.
By thwarting the Broncos' BCS bowl hopes, the Wolf Pack cost themselves and every WAC team a million dollars each in BCS revenue. We're not ones to encourage immoral and illegal actions, but, yeah, they probably should have just tanked. [Business Insider]...

University Of Nevada's Football Players Lack Adequate Driver Designation Skills
Here's a brilliant display of a group of collegiate athletes woeful abandonment of alcohol-imbibing responsibility, as three University of Nevada football players were pinched over the Memorial Day weekend for DUIs, including senior wide receiver, Mike McCoy, pictured holding the ball in a less ine...
