    Absolutely agree! Clearly one of the best new SN beers in 2014. How about in 12oz. cans?

    I would only exclusively drink Sierra Nevada if everyone else in my area had to as well because I'm not too keen on having to drink 6 month old Torpedo on a regular basis.

    +1 Freshness issues limit ability of East Coasters to legitimately consider this, if it ever were a real thing.

    I'm actually a little sick of drinking heady year round. Amazing beer but variety is very nice.

    I already probably drink SN 60/40 over other stuff due to quality/PRICE and availability.

    If the Nooner Pils isn't hop heavy, I can definitely drink only SN for the rest of the year. Kellerweis is one of my favorite beers.

    idk if i'd call it a hop factory, they're year round line up includes a porter, stout, and wheat beer which are all very nice and not hoppy at all, no?

    I could do SN year round. I could do Boulevard year round too.

    Bells would be my first choice - SN a solid second.

    Yesterday I had a bottle of Nooner Pilsner and I thoroughly enjoyed drinking that beer. There is no doubt that I will be purchasing some more of this beer but I will also still be purchasing our local pilsners.

    Packaged Pilsners: Sly Fox Pikeland Pils, Stoudts Pils, Neshaminy Creek Trauger Pils, Victory Prima Pils, ….

    Draft Pilsners: Sly Fox Tettnnang Keller Pils, Sly Fox Standard Pils, Sly Fox 2nd Street Pils, Sly Fox Charles Bridge Pils, Victory Braumeister Pils, Victory Hip Czech Pils, Triumph German/Czech Pils, Iron Hill German/Czech Pils, etc.

    Cheers!

    If I could regularly get their porter and/or stout fresh I would happily drink Sierra Nevada for a year.

    I think @Catracho5 was referring to firestone not having a year round stout. I wish they did too.[/QUOTE]

    SN would be a close second to NG.

    I've gotta sweet tooth.

    Short's in Michigan is the only brewery I can think of that produces enough variety in their lineup to drive someone to them year round what with their bajillion releases. However, that would require one to be a Michigan resident. With that said, SN is really good even if I don't buy their stuff all the time (because I love trying new things constantly). Hoptimum, Celebration, Big Foot, the new Hoppy Lager, and many others are just so good.

    No chance. I need more variety. If they offered Celebration year-round, especially this year's batch, I'd give them added love. IMO, this year's Celebration held up exceedingly well. Had one the other day that was bottled on 10/28; tasted better than when I had it in early November.
