    as noted, lab results for packaging indicated the IBUs under 20....so you're looking at 50% less (or even more) than a typical Pilsner. This is far from it...

    Yep that's it and I will be picking this up for sure...have been excited about this since the lineup was announced.

    Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, Sidecar Orange IPA, SierraVeza, Kolsch.

    I'm sure my mind just blanked on all 3 of those words when I looked at the mixed pack. :grin:

    I picked up my pack yesterday at my local beer distributor. I look forward to drinking these beers, especially the Kolsch.

    Cheers!

    Based on the exceptional response to this beer I have been looking high and low for this. I'm in Queens/Eastern Long Island. Can't find it anywhere.

    I DID however, find the new Righteous Rye, and like the original, it's a bad ass beer. I always felt that Righteous Rye would have been more successful as an autumn seasonal. That beer is too rambunctious for summer.

    Hey guys, sorry for the long silence. Have been either on vacation or swamped with travel for work.

    Thanks for the heads up... It's getting changed now.

    Party Pack 2018: Pale Ale, Kolsch, Sierraveza, Sidecar Orange IPA

    We are also doing a can summer pack for warehouse stores... 6-pack of Pale Ale, Tropical Torpedo, Hazy Little Thing and BFD.

    Let us know if you need a list of places out in Queens/LI. We just received some activations out there.

    Just landed in SEPA after a long wait. For the people who were scared off by this being like a Pilsner that is not what I found at all. Just a delicious clean smooth lager. Could see myself drinking this all summer long. Prices around here are usually sky high but a case was 33$ before tax.

    it definitely does not taste like a Pilsner...but I do understand that other breweries are doing this and even calling the style "Hellsner" or "Hellner".... I think most would agree that is not the case with Alpenflo! @jrnyc

    I staged this beer with a miniature Maifest between me and my friends, complete with a small Maypole. I must say, this beer went perfectly and was quite a hit! It definitely took me back to the real thing, both the beer and the festival!

    Excellent job to Sixpoint, this was definitely true to style. I even believe it surpasses some of the breweries over there!

    Nice! Where did you end up picking it up at?

    And I need to take a moment to soak in how nice it is seeing a Lager thread rolling along like this and I remember a time in the not so distant past where this would not have happened.

    I’ve kept my eyes peeled for this one for the last few weeks and have seen neither hide nor hair of it. The liquor store a couple blocks away keeps a good selection of Sixpoint and their only recent arrival is Righteous (which is quite tasty). With the temperature rising daily I could really go for a well-made Helles.

    Just found it a few days ago, at a place I rarely go.
    (on the other side of The Great Wall of Traffic :wink: , thankfully now less troublesome.)
    (Lane's, in Binghamton.)
    Well done, @Sixpoint . :beers::slight_smile:
    Hoping this won't be a one-off.

    No. And I didn't have any luck trying to locate it on the Iowa side of the quad cities.
