    Tis the season, no? I saw all the Christmas stuff out at Home Depot yesterday and it sort of reminded me that Celebration should be hitting the shelves real soon.

    Don't we usually see it end of October?

    all i know is i cant freakin wait for this to hit the shelves!!1

    I thik part of it depends for how each region sells tumbler..i heard some areas get celebration held back due to the tumbler still being available.

    I'm excited, I'm pretty sure it was the first IPA I ever had and I didn't buy any last year for some stupid reason.

    It's on shelves in Albuquerque already, as is Devestatetion. I feel like we're not exactly the first to get beers, so I'm surprised y'all haven't seen it. Then again, I notice you both are out east, so maybe it slowly trickles that way. No se.

    We got it on 10/15 last year; haven't got it this year yet. Can't be long though.

    Celebration is a holiday tradition for me. It's a fantastic beer & it brings such good memories each & every time I crack open the new year's bottle. I couldn't imaging decorating the Christmas tree or watching How The Grinch Stole Christmas without one in my hand. Easily my favorite wintertime seasonal.

    I am eagerly anticipating Celebration's arrival here in the East but....I anticipate a first week of November purchase so I can have two weekends to drink down some IPAs I brought back from a CA trip. Celebration is one of the few beers I will drink exclusively during a day rather than have all different beers.

    Had a false alarm a couple weeks ago. Walked into the Wegmans near Easton and saw five cases of SNCA. then read the date, 2012.

    And no, they have not been on the selling floor since last year.

    I'd hold off until November when a new batch arrives... usually when it first hits PA, its about 3 weeks past its bottling date

    I got mine yesterday at Safeway with a bottle date of 10-4 so it should be potent. Yippee Kay Yay!:grinning:

    We seem to get it Mid-late November, generally around my birthday.

    Maybe I need to move.

    But, our Home Depots have never sold Celebration. :astonished:

    Picked up a sixer at a Safeway in the Bay Area yesterday. It's fresh and more delicious than I remember

    There sure isn't a good reason to miss celebration. Unless of course you don't like IPAs, but assuming that's not the case.
