Sierra Nevada Fall (2018) Mix Pack

Same hops as last year? I loved the Session one with Strata.

 

Where are you at in GA? We have had much less interest in these packs as the year has gone on and it could be, where you saw the other packs, they didn't reorder the Single Hop version. Just a guess.

 

Thanks for the update! But wasn't this the same lineup in the '17 Snow Pack? I am not complaining because I enjoyed that pack but odd, as there is usually a change or two in the packs.

 

I contacted my local distributor and learned that they are not distributing this pack this year. I was pretty disappointed. However my sister brought a 12 pack of this from kc for me. They’re all really good and I’m glad I got to try them. Ruthless was great. I hadn’t had it since 2014 I believe. Torpedo was excellent too. I hadn’t had it for four years. Tumbler is pretty hoppy for a brown ale. Vienna is malty. Good. Maybe a little less crisp than I remembered. All in all a very good variety pack!

 

Similar but we are switching up the recipes. Except Pale Ale of course.

 

Never could figure out why SN 12 packs are so much more here in PA. I can drive 30 minutes south and pay $15 in DE, when I was in Milwaukee they were $13.99. Here in PA they are $18-20. Has always been more here in PA. I really cant fathom how SN can be $38 a case in PA and so much less in so many other places.

Enjoy

 

Three tier system... Not our call.

 

I'm going to have to start using this quote in my day to day life. "Why didn't you take out the trash? Three tier system not my call

Why didn't you do this.. Three tier system not my call"

 

Just to confirm: DE & WI have three tier systems too, right?

Cheers!

P.S. In your contractual agreements with your partner Wholesale Distributors do you specify the markup they can make on your beers?

 

I'm not familiar with this process or the 3 tier system for that matter (assuming it's brewery/distributor/store) and I wish the prices were lower here in PA, but how would it be SN's issue once the beer leaves their hands? It sounds like the problem is within our state.

 

The fall pack finally dropped in my area. Had the tumbler, very nice. The Vienna lager is decent, not a beer I'd buy by itself. Haven't tried the rye ipa yet...

 

RE: the Snow Pack this year's winter warmer is a Lager, really looking forward to trying it now.

 

The Snow Pack IPA and Lager are solid, can't wait to dig into the Coffee Stout next and PA is always a treat.

The IPA is low on the bitterness so even if you aren't an IPA person you may still dig it, I enjoyed that aspect of it.
