    Has anyone heard any grumblings or whispers as to when Nugget Nectar will be released this year?

    I know the past release dates. I am specifically referring to this year and if the release will be pushed back up to when it's normally been released, mid January. For reference, 2 years ago it was released in very late December, last year it was released around the 2nd week of February (brewery location change).

    So, any insight as to when it might be released this year? I'm hoping release is back to mid January.

    Thanks.

    I've heard March when I was at the brewery a few weeks ago. But that was from a bartender who prolly did not really know

    Huhhhh? I just looked at the website, and it indicates NN is available January through March. If they really do plan to release it in January, then there's every reason to think/hope that it might show up at a few "pre-release" events in December, just as it did several years ago.

    I buy very few full cases. Nugget nectar is one of those that I need a full case of. I also drink this beer every time I'm out and see it.

    One of my favorite beers ever. I hope it's released feb/march. Gets my excited for spring and summer!

    Just noticed this. If you go to the following page it says Feb-March:

    http://troegs.com/our_brews/nugget_nectar.aspx

    However, there's a click here to download PDF link on that page and when you click that it lists availability as Jan-March.

    :-) maybe they haven't made up their mind yet this year about when they plan to release it.

    That Feb-March dating has been that way for years, I think it's just their rough dates.

    I was hoping someone from Troegs (oneraindog) would check in....let's keep hoping they do.

    all wholesalers should have bottles in stock by january 21 and will be distributing it based on their release calendars.

    draft will be early february - can't pinpoint dates yet as we are still producing the beer.

    This is GREAT news.....I hope this year's is better than last years which, in my opinion, was a little dissappointing. It would be great if NN and Hopslam coincide with each other this year so I can just drive out to Shangy's one day and pick up both!

    Lets hope the hop harvest is a good one this year, thats why last years was different. If the harvest is fine then the beer will be fine.
