Sierra Nevada - Snowpack (Winter Sampler)

I'm on snowpack #4. Cant get enough. like many said, price for quality is unbeatable, $12.99 for a fantastic variety that hits all the right spots for winter drinkin. Coffee Stout, yes, is amazing, but I will toss my hat in for Boomerang! I love it! So clean and spunky, NZ hops are so layered and distinctive, I hope to see this stay in production. Cheers to you SN for your commitment to craft.

 

Looking forward to the Imperial Pale Lager in January. Been liking this style lately and I don't think this is anything SN has done in the past?

 

Finally picked one up last weekend, 14.99 for 12pack of some great beers! Nice change of pace from the BCBS and Founders BS and BB that I have enjoyed this fall and proof that good beer does not have to be expensive

 

I had the same experience back in November! I've been drinking SNPA occasionally for 10+ yrs and I have never had a better one.

 

I think I may have to pick one of these snowpacks later on tonight. I'm a noob to stouts and porters, you think I will like?

 

You like coffee?
Either way, it's an inexpensive way to find out.

 

I picked up the snowpack mainly for the coffee stout, but everything else is solid! Great beer

 

Putting Kellerweis in a mix pack would be a stroke of genius. The word on the street has been sales of it are flagging and it could be in danger of discontinuation. I couldn't think of a better way to get the word out a bit that it's one of (if not thee) best American made hef out there.

 

PLEASE do not get rid of Kellerweis! It's awesome and one of my favorite hefeweizens!

 

You and me both. I can tell you, it's safe for another year at least because we have it scheduled for production throughout 2015. Tell your friends, tell your neighbors and pick up an extra 6-pack or two! Kellerwies fans of the world unite!

SN should make a summer pack with Pale Ale, A new IPA, Kellerweis, and maybe a hopped up Saison?

 

I went looking for some Monday actually, but what was on the shelf in the two stores I checked was a lot older than I wanted to buy. Unfortunately that seems to be the norm for most of your beers in northern MN. I don't know if the chicken or the egg came first, but the last time I was in a third store SN seemed to have lost shelf space for almost everything except Pale.

 

Love the snowpack!!! Staying a few months back in Nj but im paying 17.99 here for the snowpack and I see people paying 12.99... No fun!

 

If you don't, check your pulse. The porter is tits.

 

Ok @sierranevadabill I am on Snowpack #8.(thats 2 shy of my Fall Pack purchases...) Whats next? IPA? AFTER that?

 

I also like the "Lazarus pack" idea with back from the dead beers: Anniversary Ale, Glissade, ESB, English IPA...

 

The 4-Way IPA pack should be hitting shelves starting this week. The next one will be the Four Summer pack... beers TBD (we're still piloting a few of them.) I just sat down last week and created some ideas for the 2016 variety packs. Haven't yet got buy-in on the styles yet, but we're planning to keep the hits coming!

If you could find a way to put a Kölsch, a Kellerbier, and/or a Dunkelweizen into any of your upcoming samplers I would be forever grateful.

 

I love this Snowpack from Sierra Nevada, keep the good times rollin' boys.

 

I'd love to see SN's take on a Kellerbier. It's such an underrated and rarely seen style here. Presumably it'd have more hops than is standard, but a slightly hoppier Kellerbier would be the perfect summer brew. A refreshing Kellerbier and crisp Summerfest would keep me satisfied all summer long.
