    I've aged Celebration in the past, and tried verticals of several years. It holds up well, but after 9 months or so it loses a step IMO. Nowadays I buy enough to last almost to next year's batch. Still have one vintage 2019 in the fridge

    I personally have never had a Celebration this old but a hoppy beer that is 'good' for many months is quite a feat.

    Celebration is the only IPA that I would have no compunction buying with several (e.g., 4-5) months on them.

    Cheers!

    :stuck_out_tongue: Neighborhood Kroger store has sixers for $8.49 and you get 20% of if you buy 4 sixers of craft beer. So, I got a case for, ummm, $27 + change. Should keep me smiling for a few days.:grin:

    They did can Celebration a couple of years ago for an IPA mix pack!

    I do remember that. Should have elaborated. Should can it as a standalone.

    One year it was canned and was part of a variety pack. I'm all for a can option.

    Thanks for the explanation. I’m glad you’re enjoying it already. Hopefully I’ll get some soon!

    I keep checking the beer finder and there's very little in MA...looks like RI and West has a bunch. Still nothing showing up in CT.

    Celebration 2020 is an oxymoron. Hit shelves around March..

    Well, I haven't seen SN Oktoberfest in a few weeks, so maybe the replacement seasonal will hit our shelves before Christmas.

    Then again, I haven't seen Dankful anywhere -- so who knows what our distro is up to. SSDD.

    Just got my first sixer in NM, and it is tasting perfect. Absolutely perfect.

    Celebration has not reached my local beer retailers yet. :slight_frown:

    But I did buy my third six-pack of Dankful IPA yesterday! That is indeed a very tasty 'old school' IPA!! :slight_smile:

    Cheers to Sierra Nevada!

    Haven't looked for that one, probably at one of the actual liquor retailers. Eyes open.

    Hard to beat that beer for pure looks, better yet is tastes as good. It’s likely the only SN I even buy in any given year.

    Picked up a 12 pack at my supermarket. It never disappoints. Saving some for election night.
