You guys want a hint or should we stick with the yes/no format? There are some questions that would get you there fairly quickly, but thinking of the right questions is the hard part innit?

Oh wait, I think I may know the brewery, but let's check. Is the brewery located in the Sierra Nevada mountains?

My geography isn't what it should be, but I *think* it is just barely. So that's a "yes?"
Edit: Did some checking and the answer is a more definitive yes.

Summary of the clues so far, for your sleuthing convenience:
1. Not Pliny.
2. Not Sculpin.
3. It is in the Pale Ale family.
4. It is not a yeast-driven style (it's all relative, of course, but take this to mean that it's a hop-driven style)
5. It is brewed on the West coast
6. The brewery is less than 25 years old.
7. It is not quite a "local brewery" for me.
8. I had to go to the brewery itself to get this particular beer.
9. The brewery is more than 100 miles from me.
10. I took an Eastbound road on the way there, but it is slightly West of me "as the crow flies"
11. I did not go as far as Firestone Walker (Paso Robles) which is roughly 266 miles from San Clemente. So it is more than 100 miles from San Clemente but less than 266 miles.
12. The beer in question has won at least one award.
13. The brewery could reasonably be considered a "small batch brewery" for most people's definition of that term
14. Not from Telegraph Brewing, and not their California Ale
15. Not from Bravery Brewing and not their Equinox Ale.
16. Brewery is located within the official boundaries of the Sierra Nevada Mountains, probably, but only just, and possibly not
18. Not from Sierra Nevada and not SNPA
19. Not a collaboration
1. Not Pliny.
2. Not Sculpin.
3. It is in the Pale Ale family.

*Ahem* err, I mean... yes and no.

Nope. Someone is going to swoop in with the answer any second now.
I can't contain this hint, because we're so close and I just wanted to brag in the first place! Kern River has exactly one beer that you can only get from the brewery, and only if you're lucky

To be clear, I meant there is only one beer that is the intersection of these two conditions. (Only from brewery) X (Only if lucky)
