Price check: Sierra Nevada Celebration

The Lowes on S.C. 544, the Piggly Wiggly at The Market Common, and the Food Lion on Forestbrook Road each were selling Sierra Nevada Celebration for $8.99 per six-pack of bottles. So it's a buck-fifty per bottle. Not the most affordable beer around, to be sure, but less expensive than Avery Brewing Co.'s Old Jubilation Ale. Just how much is Old Jubilation? Find out here.

Sierra Nevada goes to pry-off cap

You've gotta have a bottle opener to drink Sierra Nevada. The old twist-off caps are gone. Allegedly the new bottle caps have a better oxygen barrier, and the new bottle cap liners are more environmentally friendly that those used in twist-off caps.

I've often called Sierra Nevada the Rachel McAdams of beers. I don't mind using a bottle opener.
