    Thanks. Looking forward to it. Similarly, the Single Hop pack with the Southern Hemisphere pack?

    Thank you Terence. I loved the summer pack (except for Sidecar of course)
    Is there any possibility of seeing more of SN Kolsch and even Sierraveza? Is the Kolsch style too obscure for the average consumer? Because there is no doubt it is a better beer than a few year rounders in the SN lineup.

    I think we would like to have a lighter drinking lager that could get a little more momentum behind it with the average craft consumer or gateway consumer. Nooner never really got where we hoped it would be and it continues to slow. So stay tuned, I know I would like to see something like Kolsch or Sierraveza on the everyday shelves... Coffee Stout too but it would need that same support to get buy in from our distributors and retailers.

    If you can get this out in 6 packs you rock. I know a lot of us always nag for it lol. I honestly feel with the love of beer and coffee people have it would be a hit. Thanks for keeping it in mind, it would be a stocked item in my fridge if it happens, one of the best coffee beers!!

    There are so many craft lighter lagers (whether they are well done or not is one thing) on the shelves or coming out now so I guess there's a bit of demand for it. Which surprises me because I don't think consumers are all that sophisticated and they only seem to want IPAs. But I am enjoying having more non-IPA choices these days. I never thought much of Nooner, since I think Summerfest is light years better in all ways. I also can't see how SN can have Otza Vez, Sidecar, Hop Hunter, Trop Torpedo in the year round rotation as well. I don't see them on the shelves at all. I think the SN Kolsch is a worthy candidate for year round status, it's so well done by SN and it's a classic style. There really isn't another domestic Kolsch to compete with, SN can own that category. (Just don't add coffee or mango or Mosaic hops!)

    +1 for Kolsch being in the regular SN rotation...I thought it was amazing!

    Curve ball with Torpedo instead of SNPA. Well that move will get me to drink it, as I probably haven’t bought Torpedo in over a year.

    Is Summerfest moving well this year? I love it & have absolutely had my fill of it this season, but I hope it won’t block the mix-pack (& even more importantly) the O-fest from distribution in my area. This has happened in the past, especially with Celebration delayed by a slow moving seasonal - looking at you Tumbler.

    Summerfest has been my go to lager this summer as well. Put it in cans!

    Summerfest has been in cans before. But they’ve said o here many times that they don’t want anything to compete with Nooner, the year-round Pils. Nice beer but certainly no Summerfest.

    Summerfest is sold out so you should see a smooth transition into Oktoberfest.

    I agree with can Summerfest, so you see where I rank. :slight_smile: We won't be doing that.

    I'm in for 1, enjoyed the summer pack, even Side Car. I've tried the Sierra Nevada Tumbler Autumn Brown and Torpedo, both are pretty good. I can add a Vienna Lager to my collection of styles. The Ruthless Rye is an IPA not a Rye beer but it sounds good.

    Yes, I bought Summerfest in cans last summer. It's a superior container for a superior brew (v. Nooner).

    Don't you have some BA stout or NEIPA to stand in line for?

    I'll bite - but I would much rather have Tumbler back on its own. It is my favorite brown ale.
