Sierra Nevada Celebration 2019

Yeah, just so you know -- you officially suck now.

 

According to BillManley (formerly SN spokesman):

That same year, he noted:

So, they pretty much brew it during the months of October and November most years.

That's up to that store's SN distributor (Do they have more? Can/Will they re-order?) and the store itself.

 

Well, it was supposed to rain a lot so some towns had to move Halloween. It ended up barely raining during Trick or Treating hours, so it was a beautiful night for it.

We’re supposed to get snow this week though...that’s New England.

Oh, and I had my first two bottles of Celebration last night. I was only going to have one, but it was so damn good.

I agree with others who have said that the proliferation of New England IPAs have made them appreciate this beer so much more. I feel like I’m loving it more each year now.

 

On the Flipside, does it make you appreciate NEIPAs [and similar IPAs] after having Celebration? I can say that with me it did and I had a Lagunitas Sumpin' Sumpin' and that hit the spot even more because of the few bottles of Celebration the days prior.

 

I wouldn't say Sumpin Sumpin is anything like a NEIPA but I do know what you mean. Too much of anything makes me want more of something that is different. Shh, don't tell my girlfriend. Lol

 

NaZdravi!
good as it ever was

 

@CoastieSimon

We will be packaging 40K+ barrels in 2019, so yes there is more. Last of the brewing will be the last week of November.

 

That’s a great pic it really is, makes me wish I had one cold right now, screams Xmas.

 

you guys are a national treasure. Just sayin

 

For me, Celebration was a welcome respite from NEIPAs. They were a style I enjoyed when they first appeared. Now, although I don't actively dislike them, I simply don't want them anymore. Celebration is refreshingly bitter and a joy to look at in the glass.

 

This still hasn't showed up in NH and I'm getting very angry.

 

Last Tuesday, went to Vons, got the last 6pk; 2 days later, got the last 6pk at Trader Joes, 2 days later, the last 2 6pk's at another grocery store. So, safe to say, I have single handedly emptied 3 stores of Celebration and I will still buy more......

 

Made it here today, just South of Pittsburgh, PA. I get the rose nose for the first time. Tasting great. No Northern Hemisphere though. Very scarce here. Don't know why. Definitely going to keep getting Celebration until it is gone. Right up my alley.

 

Ha ha! And yeah that's why I included the similar IPA part but when you think about it, LSS may be the great great grandfather of the NEIPA...or maybe a third cousin

 

Yeah I did actually understand what you meant

 

Picked up 12pk (only packaging being distributed this year in NH) on 10-31 at Meredith Case 'n Keg. It's in NH.

 

This sucks.

 

Picked up a 12 pack for 13.99 at a local Binny's today. Having a bottle now. Tastes as good to me as ever. Not sure if it was last year or the one prior but the rose character came through a bit strong to me of which I was not particularly fond. This year's strikes a perfect balance. Looking forward to many more this year. Cheers to SN.

 

Y'all the type to play Christmas music before Halloween

 

Just logged in for the first time in years to say I’m glad this joke is still going.
