    Why not? Why not hire the best? Why hire losers who show up to work stoned if at all.

    Higher Standards? I think the majority really enjoyed and miss Craggie. Glad they are still working and able to make great beer for another good beer. So far, so good at Oskar Blues!

    Let’s hope they have higher standards than Oskar Blues who just took brewers from Craggy.

      That comment shows remarkable ignorance if you actually knew the former brewer at Craggie and had tried his own small batch recipes, rather than judge his abilities based on the fact that, as his job, he had to continue brewing what were admittedly subpar brews the Craggie founders designed. DJ left Craggie a lot better than he found it…

      I believe it was one brewer from Craggie which is closed. Should Sierra Nevada say no brewers currently employed need apply? Anyone employed in a brewery in WNC will not be conidered? Is this what you would call “high standards”??
