Sierra Nevada Fall 2016 Variety Pack Lineup

Why do people always list 4 distinct beers in their "wishlist?"

I guess ya'll can dream, but SNPA is going to be in there. It's a good beer so you shouldn't complain about 3 fresh ones, especially at that price point.

 

Variety is the spice of life!

 

So will we see Flipside at all this year? I'm hoping...

 

Picked up the pack for $14 this week and had the Hoppy Wheat last night, which I thought was pretty good. Maybe a half step below GH and comparable to 80 Acre, but I killed all 3, so I will probably pick up another pack in the upcoming week. I bought it from the Vienna and Tumbler and Pale is always good to have for those times when you are contemplating one more beer or bed.

 

I like where your heart is, but...

Oktoberfest: Nope. The stand-alone seasonals aren't included in the mix packs. Too redundant.
Pumpkin: Don't bank on it. They can do better.
Celebration: (see: Oktoberfest)
Belgium: SN has the Ovila line for Belgians. I wouldn't count on anything Belgian showing up in 12oz'ers.

 

No Flipside?

 

I know it's not very realistic...but again... SA fall pack is BL, Oktober, Hoppy Red, Toasted Carmel Bock, Maple Ale, Bonfire Blonde... If SN did something like this (say SNPA instead of BL) I would jump right outta my shoes!!

But then again, that's prolly why I respect SN more than SA anyway. They don't just push out any old novelty style. I guess you take the good with the bad.

 

I agree in that I wish we could see more of a regular variety released from SN, kind of a weird thing that they make so many great beers and in different styles and we are left with hoping and praying that one or two gets a spot in these variety packs.

 

I'm still waiting for a "best of the mixed packs". Vienna Lager, Coffee Stout, Six Rights IPA, Mailard's Odyssey, etc.

 

Vienna and Tumbler were both great. I don't love the idea of a wheat IPA but hopefully it's a pleasant surprise.

 

Anyone want to guess what we might get in the SNOW PACK?

-Coffee Stout
-SNPA or Torpedo ( I was not happy that they did both last year)
-Porter or a new Brown or Bach maybe?
-A Hoppy Winter Warmer?

Just some ideas .

-Snow Wit was okay but I can live without it. Boomerang was okay.

 

Well here is something...maybe for the SNOW PACK?! @sierranevadabill What's the word on this? I love cascade hops.

 

Confirmation from Sierra Nevada that the CASCADE IPA is slotted for the SNOW PACK. I am sure the Maple Scotch is for the same one.

So my guess for the SNOW PACK

SNPA
Coffee Stout
Maple Scotch Ale
Cascade IPA

Take my money.

 

I also really like the Vienna Lager. It reminds me of 'Boston Lager'. Maybe because they are the same style, hu?

 

f*@$ yeah.

 

I would be all over this Snow Pack.

 

Picked up a 12 pack today for $17.99.

 

Who else loves the fall season. It is just the best time of year for good beer, football, and awesome temps outside.
Looking forward to snagging a few of these, looks like a tasty bunch!

 

I always make it a point to grab SN Variety packs. Looking forward on tasting the Hoppy Wheat. Cheers

 

FYI saw cases of this at a local costco for ~$24. Bottled 07-26 I believe.
