I graduated from Chico in 1981 just as Grossman was getting SN off the ground. This past week I moved my daughter up there for school and went over to SN for a tour. What an impressive place. The tour was an hour long and went through the entire operation including the hop freezer. The tour ends with samplings of 8 beers.
As a company I was very impressed with their sustainability programs, employee treatment (medical care and day care provided onsite), and community involvement. The restaurant was awesome too with 20+ SN beers available. I picked up a 12 pack of the beer camp beers in the store.
If you are ever in that area I highly recommend stopping in and touring then eating. It was amazing to see what a motivated home brewer has accomplished.
