snpped from below: <...I'm pretty sure I remember Sierra Nevada made a special bottling for a skinny-tire race...>
here's one for ya'...
sierra nevada brewery was founded by a fellow
who was at witcomb (london) cycles in the early
70s. he was from los angeles. his time there was in
the middle of my stint. i think he stayed 5-8 months.
after his time in england he returned home but never
pursued the frame thing.
i was in contact with him 2 years ago and he had just
sold his share of the business to his partner(s).
