I'd love to go there and think it's great. SNPA is one of my go to beers, well admittedly, in places that don't have a wide selection, but at least have SN. Though I will regularly (for me) get celebration or torpedo (the only beers I drink consistently are hoppyum and DFH punkin; mostly, I don't drink the same beer more than once or twice in a month).

Though I'm pretty sure I recently heard on the radio that SN was struggling (or expected to struggle) in the beer market because SN has/is becoming so commonplace and is losing out to micros and their ever expanding/changing beer styles. I don't know if I buy that, as SA is doing quite well and is commonplace (yet, I typically only drink their specialty beers).

the brewery was supposedly built to be very Low Impact Development, and has huge rainwater cisterns that look like big beer barrels or bottles or something.

^very nice.

I don't often drink SN beer because I'm no fan of hoppy brews.

I've had seasonal Ruthless Rye a few times recently. Not bad.
