Sierra Nevada Experimental Hop Pack

Is there a way to report expired beer on the website?

 

Never mind, I figured it out. The local distributor here is dumping old product (again)

 

Hope to see some of this fresh around me... Though with recent distro I highly doubt that.

I know this feeling all to well.

 

Another Sierra variety pack I want to buy! I love all the choices in craft beer right now. I just can’t keep up with them all. I have two Sam Adams variety packs that I purchased this fall and still haven’t finished. I just bought the SN fresh hop pack. I can’t keep up with everything I want to try! Cheers!

 

Sierra Nevada will be getting a lot of my money next year. I emailed Sierra Nevada and they responded that Porter and Stout will still be year round beers but not brewed as often as before.

 

I may hold off on this one until I hear some initial reviews. When I think experimental hops and Sierra Nevada, I think of Tropical IPA. That beer tasted and smelled like dead skunk/burnt rubber/blooming jimsun weed.

I really hope this new experimental Hop brings something more to the table.

 

I plan to keep an open mind and let the beer do the talking.

 

I Wish nothing but the best in your future! And please keep Bill as part of your user name; there's so few of us Bills around.

 

So glad to hear this, I heard the rumor and was bummed we would not get feedback like we used to, thanks to you guys for making efforts to keep us all informed. (Not to mention it was fun to hear from Bill, he was a very nice person and always helpful).
Cheers

 

Congrats on the new BA name. Looks good!

 

@SierraTerence any reason why Celebration 12 packs are in scarce supply this year? I got SNOW packs all over the place but I always like to buy about 10 of the 12er packs of Celebration to make it to the next year..

 

No different this year than past years. Where are you in AZ? You can PM if you would prefer.

 

We finally got this in at the store today. What's the consensus? Better, worse or similar to the quality of the fresh hop pack? I won't be able to find out first hand for another 14 hours or so.

 

I have yet to come across this in Cleveland Didn't they have a set of these already a few months ago? Never saw that one here, either. Bummed!

 

I'll be all over this once it hits northern Maine!
Sierra Nevada has not let me down yet, so i'm sure these won't disappoint.

 

Working my way through it now. Really like the Pilsner and session ipa. Double is a bit odd as it has an oakiness to it. Good mix overall, glad I bought it. At $19 for the 12-pack, it could’ve been a few bucks cheaper.

 

The Double is described as using hops that have an "oaky, barrel aged character"! I found the taste very different, but it was good!

 

Yeah, was reading the description as I was drinking it and it totally made sense. Quality beer!

 

I am feeling this IPA. nice crisp, slightly bitter hop punch. Could drink a number of these (3, I guess, given the pack).

 

Where did you find in the Boston area? I’ve been looking & making some calls for the past few weeks. Thanks!
