"I just discovered Summer Solstice (or "The 'Stice", as my boyfriend and I now call it) a week ago and I have gone back to the one restaurant that carries it 3 times to have more. Put another way, I'm not the kind of person who Googles a beer to find out where she can buy it, but here I am leaving a comment on your site. Amazing. Now let's get to work on that bottle distribution!"

"I was blown away by this beer. I've experienced hundreds of great beers(micro, belgian, german, etc.)I love from hoppy to wheat, but this was one of the most refreshing and drinkable I've had in some time. My regards and respect to those responsible for this delight. "
Nate Bennecoff - Harrisburg, PA

"i remember when i first tried AVBC's summer solstice last summer, 2005, on the way back from a camping trip at the Hendy Woods camping sight on the west side of Anderson Valley. We were all tired and thirsty and just had a blast at the brewery. everyone was very kind and i loved the tie-dye shirt that i got as a gift. all in all, a great experience, a great brewery, and a great place on earth!"
Alexandros Acedo - Berkeley, CA

"We were just introduced to this beer a week ago and we are already on our second six pack (that says a lot since we haven't bought one six pack of beer since last summer). We are nuts about this beer and have been telling all of our friends about it too! Awesome!"
Andrea & Kurt Lehman - Grand Rapids, MI

"The other night I tried the Winter Soltice. Fabulous! Flavor is quite complex. with the taste of hops without the nasty hop burn (for a big time beer guy, I'm no hophead). Major congrats for some excellent beers and for getting a hardened Californiphobe to acknowledge the fact. Cheers!"
Scott McLoud - Tigard, OR

"We discovered Summer Solstice in a wonderful restaurant in Mesa, Az. The restaurant is called RED WHITE & BREW. We went searching for it and found it at an A J's, which is a specialty food market. We purchased the last case they had, as the summer was coming to an end. We look forward to tasting your Winter Solstice. We grew up in Milwaukee, WI, which of course, was known as "beer country", so we have always enjoyed beers. We liked the Spring season, when they came out with the dark heavier beers and ales. That's one of the reasons we were so taken with Summer Solstice. We will now begin our search for Winter Solstice, and I'm sure we'll be as delighted with that brew, as we were with the Summer version."

"This is hands down the best beer I have ever tried - ever. My friends and I drink nothing else when it comes to beer. We will always buy it by the case, when possible, and we have even been known to wipe out a Supermarket's entire stock. We have also made it our personal missions to try and convert people one person at a time. It has been pretty easy so far. People think they have an idea of what their favorite beer is, but when they taste that sweet, creamy, euphoric Summer Solstice Ale, there is no turning back. The only down side is that it is offered in special release so it cannot be purchased year round. I know summer can't last forever, but we are begging you, can you please make it atleast feel like summer by making it available all year round? Your Loyal Customer Adam Robins"

"This is not any common ale and should not be identified as a mere beer beverage, it is NECTAR and nothing less ."
Donna Shore - Rohnert Park, CA

"I tried Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema at the Oregon Brewers Festival in Portland, OR. It was the best beer ever. After a whole night of tasting others, mostly Ambers, which are my favorite, Everyone I was talking to told me to try this one. The line was huge, everyone in said it was the best one at the festival. And wow! They are right. So easy to drink, especially when on the colder side, it leaves you with an aftertaste worthy of savoring."
Kyle Keith - Gresham, OR

"I just wanted to ask if this delightful brew is availiable by the keg. My son and I tried it at the recent " cool brews for cool pools " beer fest in town and picked it as our #1 choice for his upcoming wedding on August 20th. Thank you"
Mark Aguilar - Morgan Hilll, CA

"WOW is my comment every time I take a sip from a new bottle of Summer Solstice. I keep wondering if this beer can continue to amaze, then I open up another and "WOW" comes from my lips. I can't help it. I love it. And I thought I would never like a sweet beer. My new 2nd favorite right after Hop Ottin. Thank you and keep up the good work."
Nancy Cuchetti - Arcata, ca

"I just tried this beer at the Oregon Brew Fest in Portland, and this was by far the best beer there. This is my new favorite beer, which is tough, because I don't think i can get a hold of it up in Canada. Guess I'm going to be heading down south a little more often now. Thanks for such a delightful beer!"
Ryan Anderson - Vancouver, BC

"As a 23 year-old beer connoisseur, the Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema has changed my beer preferences which will have a long-standing effect. When I am old and grey, my children's children will be drinking this beer."
Andy Hampton - Walnut Creek, ca

"I recently tasted Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema for the first time at the North American Beer Awards (NABA) competition at the Mountain Brewers Beer Fest in Idaho Falls, Idaho. I was a judge (BJCP) at the NABA competition and tasted over 150 different beers during 2 ½ days of judging. Summer Solstice was one of 2 or 3 beers during the competition that truly pleased my pallet and caused me to save the sample for "further study". My wife was a steward at the competition so I asked her to find the name of beer number "111", but of course she couldn’t tell me the name until the judging was completed. My wife also enjoyed the smooth rich flavor of Summer Solstice, so we found it stocked at a local beer and wine specialty shop, and now keep a few bottles in our refrigerator. My compliments to the brewmaster! "
Bob Seal - Idaho Falls, ID

"Cerveza Crema is my new favorite beer! It was so good I just had to visit your webpage so I could tell you. Please keep brewing this one!"
Tim Sturm - Sacramento, CA

"BEST BEER TO DATE! While strolling through my local beer depot I came across this interesting sounding beer. Creveza Crema? I thought to my self, cream? Who dosen't like a creamy beer! What a beer!! Right from the get go the beer was like, lets say "cream". One of my favs of all time. Since I cant be in California, I have the Creveza Crema here standing on the burning shores of Lake Michigan. Great Beer."
Bosko Jokic - Pleasant Prairie, WI

"The summer solstice is one of the most delicious beers i've ever had! cheers :)"

"WOW! this was my expression when my friend drove all the way from Mendocino to Santa Barbara (500 Miles) to my party with a keg of Summer Solstice from the brewery. Just when I though winter solstice was the best beer ive ever tasted, Summer Solstice bursts on the scene. Very smooth and sweet and doesent fill you up. You've outdone yourselves once again. :D"
Chris Puder - Santa Barbara, CA

"Holy Cannoli! I was not too sure what I was getting myself into when I grabbed a six-pack of the Summer Solstice Cerveza Crema, and I am glad I took the risk. What a pleasant surprise. This beer has outstanding taste without feeling like I was drinking a malternative. Sweet, without being cloying, with a fantastic mouth feel! I know what I will be bringing to this years 4th of July Party!"
Larry Rodman - Brookline, NH

"I just picked this up from a specialty wine shop in town and I must say I am glad I did. It is delicious! Its light and creamy and leaves a slight caramel sweetness on my tongue. I have found the perfect summer beer. I can't wait to try your other beers. Thanks and keep up the good brewin'!"
Jon Zerivitz - Baltimore, md

"I have recently tried this summer brew and was thoroughly impressed. The steady, creamy head was accompanied by a rich full body and bright copper color. My palate was treated to the smooth refreshing flavors of tangy wheat and fruity tones. I can think of no other beer I want in my hand whether I'm at the beach or finishing up yard work. Wherever your day takes you, it should wind down with a Summer Solstice. "
Roger Donoghue Jr. - Watertown, MA

"Oh My! That's the smoothest beer I've ever had! It's velvet in fermented form. Fabulous! The Cerveza Crema hit the shelves at Shangy's yesterday, and was tickling my palate less than 24 hrs later. Mmmm, Mmmm, Good. I'll tell all my friends to pick some up before it runs out. The Winter Solstice has been my favorite winter beer since I tried it a few years ago, and now I have a new favorite summer beer!"
Steve Robertson - Harleysville, PA

"Recently went to a BrewFest in Vacaville and tried the Summer Solstice for the first time! It was great!! Actually worth giving the wooden nickel for even though you only get 8 to sample 50+ beers. All of my friends voted it was the best of the fest! Please tell me where I can buy some in Sacramento, CA."
Wendy Burkhardt - Sacramento, CA

"Recently we visited Anderson Valley Brewing Company and enjoyed tasting many new beers to us. I enjoy beer in the summer time and this has got to be the best new brew that I have tried and we have alot in the Northwest. Thank you for the new beer and we would like to thank you for you recent hospitality."
Teresa Kaufman - Portland, Or

"Delicious! Perfect beer to sneak at my desk at 3:30 on a Friday before a holiday weekend. I usually drink "light" beers - but this has such a fabulous taste!! MMMMM"
