Sierra Nevada Experimental Hop Pack

another one i'll be picking up for sure...great idea. when's it supposed to drop?

@sierranevadabill

 

I'm not Bill, but I here is SN's release schedule:

https://www.sierranevada.com/release-dates

There are 8 variety packs that interest me. (Note the Variety packs are bottles, while the Hop packs are cans). That's 96 beers over the course of a year. Plus seasonals, high altitudes, and regular stuff. Burp.

 

I also noticed that this is the first year their regular Porter and Stout will not be available. I know they are already fairly scarce due to lack of demand, but unfortunate nonetheless.

 

Another cool IPA pack that is never gonna reach South Jersey AWESOME!

 

From what my rep told me Bill left Sierra Nevada for Surly and to be closer to where he’s from in Minnesota. I told him I was bummed because bill was always so great to us and he said the same.

 

I din't notice that, but the Stout is good, low ABV, and reasonably priced. I will miss it.

 

C'mon. Say it ain't so.

 

Previously, in another thread:

 

Say it ain't so, is right. Ah man, who will be BA's SN point person now? Unquestionably, one of the best brewery reps on the site. If true, best wishes to Bill at Surly. His always great updates for SN were very much appreciated & will be missed. Cheers to him.

 

This one grabs my attention.

 

If true, Bill can change his user name to surlybill and then his previous posts that state "we" will cause tons of confusion.

 

Also is Pale ale no longer in the core lineup according to that 2018 release?

 

I never even came across the first pack like this here in Cleveland. Hope I can find this one!

 

Experimental Hop Pack starts shipping mid-January.

Porter and Stout are available, there just not on the release calendar.

 

All the same experimental hop ? I never saw the other IPA pack so not expecting to seethis one either

Enjoy

@sierranevadabill if true best of times to you.....you have always been a wealth of info and a breath of fresh air. Never had a surly beer but i im in the great white north I will look you up

Enjoy

 

Yes they are available now and they're also listed on this years release calendar as year around beers. What's being discussed is that they're not listed on next years release calendar that just came out.

 

@ESHBG this ships in January, so we will see this sometime around July..maybe August.

 

They aren't listed with their year-round beers for 2018.
