    Just a day after seeing it on the packaging line on Instagram it's on the shelves here in SC,
    It's awesome...better than last years. I know I know nothing is supposed to be better ''than last years' but SN nailed it this year Floral,piney,and malty all at the same time with no fruitcake/pumpkin spice adjuncts that most 'holiday' seasonal beers have. Get some this weekend and ring in the holiday season. Cheers!

    Picked up a sixer yesterday. I haven’t gotten into it yet, but I’m glad to hear they dialed back the nutmeg...

    From Untapped Check in’s, I’ve seen it arrive as far as NY on the east coast. This day last year I had a 12 pack and a keg on tap. I can’t wait to see it on shelves and get a keg in the kegerator! My all time favorite beer!

    One of the best spiced IPAs out there. Hope the cinnamon/nutmeg flavor is still as prevalent as last year's.

    Funny enough, the only seasonals I favor more than Celebration are .... Narwhal and Hoptimum! Sierra Nevada kills it.

    Likewise.... And I was all set to pounce with my pre-planned reply.

    "Good, but I don't care for the spices they used this year. Also, clearly not as hoppy as last year's version, and overall not as good a beer as last year's version. Really wish SN would quit changing up the recipe every year. Can't they just leave well enough alone?"

    Sad to hear, I don’t care for too much of the “spices” in my beers either. We’ll see.

    Just finished a 6-pack. Trying not to compare it to previous years and taking it for what it is now. Not too hoppy, not too malty, nice balance without anything sticking out, great drinkability and not boring at the same time. It's mild this year with no spices.

    @MikeP64 thanks for the heads up!

    Another BA mentioned in a older thread so I am not alone in enjoying Celebration when putting up the tree then grilling a steak dinner after wards.

    Of course there will be a month of football enjoyed with it prior to that.
