Before I started working at Good Beer Hunting, I was a pretty avid reader,
and the stories that resonated with me most were the stories that were more
about people than they were about the beer themselves. Just a few weeks
ago, we published one of the most ambitious and important one of these
stories to date.
The article is called, “A Story of Resilience—Sierra Nevada Brewing Company
in Chico, Calif.,” and it follows the creation of a beer by Sierra Nevada.
The beer, which is called Resilience as the name of the article implies,
was created in response to the Camp Fires in Northern California last year.
Sierra Nevada, whose headquarters were not far from the towns affected by
the fire, jumped into action almost immediately, and started giving out
food and brewing Resilience to raise money for victims of the fire.
We sent members of the GBH team to learn more about Resilience, and the
story they told, which came out in April, was so much more than I could
have ever imagined a story about a beer to be. But hey, that’s why I
started reading stories on GBH’s website, right? We learn more from GBH
contributor Alyssa Pereira and photographer Clara Rice on what it took to
take tell this story.
