Sierra Marietta

Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is a classic beer, that has helped many people (including me) define the style.  For my first solo homebrew, I wanted to brew a beer that is easy to drink, and many people could enjoy.  So I thought of Sierra Nevada PA.  I pushed Centennial hops into the mix to boost the IBUs a bit, but didn't want to make it too bitter.  The town I moved to, once I left Baltimore, is named Marietta.  I thought that I would just replace Nevada with Marietta in the name, and use a picture of the field/farm that is behind my house as a nice label picture. (No, I did not use corn in the beer, even though it is on the label.)
