Summerfest Lookout Thread (2023)

And patience was rewarded. It just popped up at the nearest Safeway.

 

Sight seen? Or are you relying on the beer finder?

I was planning to go out to TJs this evening so I will stop by Safeway on the way.

 

50 miles is the closest to me -- which is better than it was last week!

 

Got some today

 

LIMITED TIME?!

 

...and the clock is ticking.

 

*Trigger Warning* Summer Lager

 

It will be interesting to see if the "Limited Time" logo will significantly motivate sales. A situation of advertising to create a sense of FOMO?

Cheers!

P.S. And if the "Limited Time" thing works for Summerfest maybe the Sierra Nevada Marketing & Sales people will use it for other non-year round brands (e.g., Oktoberfest)?

 

-- Major FOMO!!

 

36° and snowing here right now.

Happy spring.

 

Silky mouthful, floral on the nose and then woody/stems on the hop pallet. The malt is way in the background. It is a nice addition. Canned on 03/29/2023.

 

Here in NE Ohio as well - yeah, bring on these crisp summery beers in early spring.....yum
Ah, waiter, bring me another stout, please!

 

Left one for a sore loser
Canned 3/29
3.79 at checkout

 

My takeaway :

not worth buying
SN has turned their backs on people to chase trends and pump out hazy stovepipes at gas stations.

Enegren blows this mid lager out the water

never buying this again


Edit : If you're in CA seek out Enegren. Let SN die on the hill they fought so hard to be on

 

You're drinking that one right out of the store and on the bus? Chill your other one and see if you still have the same opinion. Chilled is the way I'll drink it if I'm ever going to find it, so I'm curious if you change your mind about it when chilled.

 

There's really not much reason for you southerners to buy any lagers not made by Enegren, absolutely crush it on quality and value.

Also, that blue doesn't really work for me, kind of looks like a store brand Scrimshaw knock off. No way I'm buying a beer packaged like that!

 

they were cold enough. i absolutely understand what youre saying but i stand by my opinion


Enegren is the king of lagers now in CA

SN can disappear forever and we'll be fine.
They can own a the gas stations they pump out HLT to

 

thats another one i would buy ten times over this .

Again , this is coming from a SoCal person who sees enegren on shelves and hasa major grudge to hold

Being back Narwhal god damnit.
