    You're my #1 source for upcoming releases.

    I'll take it! Coulda used the Holiday Porter instead of Chocolate Bock, but other than that, this looks like their strongest winter pack in quite some time.

    Nice find.

    You got a Lager in there.. two bocks (winter Lager, chocolate bock) a stout and two ales (old Fezziwig and the Amber Bock is actually an ale) should be good still wish they would ditch the Boston Lager in the seasonal packs though

    Holiday Haze is fantastic! They have to put this in 6er's and 12 packs ASAP!

    I wonder is that based on the Six Rights IPA they released last year, sierranevadabill said it would make a re-appearance at some point.

    Check their website, if you haven't already. Looks to be fairly accurate in terms of availability.

    Not sure if any of these are close to you or not. Guessing not.

    I am same way, its 97 today, our mornings are cool in the 50s but it sure does not feel like Snowpack season. Will still buy it but wish it was not so soon.

    And that is why Sierra Nevada will not stop their ever increasing seasonal creep.

    Non-cheers to seasonal creep!!

    Agreed, this is too early for the Snow Pack. Perhaps it is so early this year because of the absence of the Fall Pack? Hopefully they bring the Fall Pack back next year and the Snow Pack won't show up so soon.

    At any rate, I will buy a Snow Pack (and Celebration) come November; I have to wait until then since a local store puts Sierra Nevada 12-packs on sale for $13.49 every other month and October is not a sale month. :wink:

    Snowpack landed in the Triangle on Wednesday and I had to go to the store, it was already on sale for 12.99. What a deal!

    Had the coffee stout last night and it is sooooo good. This is my first time buying the snow pack so I can't compare it to last years though.

    If the beer is good who cares when it comes out just get it in my glass.

    Is there a reason Coffee Stout doesn't get released in 6-packs? @sierranevadabill I don't drink Pale Ales and IPAs. And most Winter Warmers are either over-hopped or over-spiced. So, there's no reason/point for me to buy the whole pack.

    So you buy the Snow Pack to get it - and because they probably have a few more IPAs coming out in 6pks.

    Yes it's in the wild. I'm in NorCal though so it might be a few days until it hits AZ.
