Sierra Nevada Brewing Announces Possibly The Best Contest For Beer Lovers
Sierra Nevada Brewing has launched the “Still The One” Friends Reunion Contest with possibly the best prize a beer lover could dream of. One lucky craft beer fan will reunite with five of their friends at Sierra Nevada Brewing’s brewery in Mills River just outside Asheville, North Carolina to brew a custom-made beer. Sierra Nevada opened the east coast brewery in 2015 to supplement its original brewery in Chico, California.
The “Still The One” contest name references Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, their flagship beer and a classic American pale ale that, despite being introduced over 40 years ago, is still the beer against which all other American-style pale ales are measured.
“We wanted to celebrate Pale Ale,” said Lesley Albright, vice president of marketing at Sierra Nevada Brewing Company. “In an industry that is always chasing what’s new, we still have a lot of love for Pale Ale, and it’s the only brand that has been a top brand in craft beer for 40 years.”
The prize is the ultimate beer lover’s experience. The winner and five friends will fly to Sierra Nevada’s brewery in Mills River for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make their own custom-brewed commemorative beer. The prize includes flights, accommodations, meals and a merchandise package. The winner and their friends will work with Sierra Nevada’s brewers to develop a recipe, name their creation, and help brew their one-of-a-kind beer. The finished beer will be given to the winner and will be available in the Mills River taproom.
Eligible people can enter the contest via the contest website, or via Instagram by uploading a 30-second video or photo explaining why they deserve to win this priceless prize, using the #SierraNevadaReunionContest hashtag and tagging @sierranevada. The contest closes at 11:59:59 p.m. ET on October 15, 2023. The winner will be contacted on November 8, 2023 with the good news.

Star Nevada Golfer Emree Cameron Reflects on Family Support Ahead of Big Tournaments
NEVADA, MO – When it comes to golf, there really isn’t much Emree Cameron can’t do. The next stop for the Nevada senior is the U.S. Girls Junior Golf Championship.
Picking up the sport at the age of six, Emree began competing at just seven years old. The division one Louisville commit said it’s her younger brother that drives her success.
“I was in the spotlight for awhile, and now he’s playing baseball and it’s his turn,” said Emree.
“I love it, and I want to show him that he can go be successful, and can play his sport long term.”
With Nevada now home, golf takes the Cameron’s from coast to coast.
No matter where Emree goes however, her father, is with her every step of the way. The longtime golfer and former caddie, said he couldn’t be more proud of his daughter.
“It’s hard to put into words how proud I am,” said Eric Cameron.
“When I think about it, it almost brings me to tears, and it just speaks for itself.”
In 2024, Emree is a division one golf commit, and her school’s first ever state champion for girl’s golf. Despite the accolades, Emree would emphasize that her father and family would always be the most important over the course of her career.
“My dad is my number one supporter, and so is everyone in my family,” Emree said.
“I don’t think I would be where I am, and have the mental state with golf right now if it wasn’t for my dad.”
In addition to competing in the U.S. Girls Golf Championship, Cameron will also play in the Junior PGA Championship in Bethesda, Maryland.
The Junior Golf Championships will take place at El Caballero Country Club in California on Monday, July 15th through Saturday, July 20th. The Junior PGA Championship will take place from July 30th through August 2nd.
