    Holy shit it’s in cans this year!!!!!!

    Legit can conditioned Celebration. As a traditionalist, I will continue to seek out bottles, but I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t thrilled to have these in cans too.

    SN has posted a few Instagram videos of Celebration on the packaging line, so hopefully it will hit shelves in New England next week.

    So, post it if you see it and let us know the format/date. Cheers!!!

    Love drinking these on Halloween, thanksgiving, and Christmas. It’s a true Holliday miracle.

    I’m like 99.9% sure (might have been @SierraTerence who said it himself) that it’s cans only this year. Safe to say, I’ll get a 12-pack of this like I do every year.

    This is my favorite annual thread.

    This and the Tree House one…this is obviously a joke.

    I recall something similar. I’ll see if I can dig something up.

    I asked him in a thread from January why all seasonals won’t be switching to cans.

    The above was his response. Sounded like nothing was set in stone, but come to think of it, I don’t recall seeing a lot of Oktoberfest in bottles this year.

    The second I saw them post about it in cans, I immediately sent it to my fellow Celebration loving friends! It seems like they’ll still do bottles but it’ll be majority of cans. I’ve been anticipating this thread since the posts. I’m beyond exited to pick some up, order a keg or two and God only knows how many 12 packs. I stashed away a couple 2020’s so that I can do my annual comparison. I don’t know why but I’m even more excited about it this year. I’m totally looking forward to the Holiday Season and cracking my first one on November 1st, as is my tradition!

    Cans vs bottle comparison will be a must side by side for me this year.

    We are doing a small volume of bottles and most of that will be in loose pack cases (sold as a case).

    The cans are "can conditioned."

    Every year I forget about this thread, then just as I’m about to curse the holiday advertisements @EnronCFO reminds me of the true spirit of Christmas: putting on holiday movies for my kids so I can knock back a few celebration in peace.

    That is a "can do" attitude right there! :slight_smile:

    I will be buying my annual 12-pack of Celebration this year when I am visiting my neighboring state of Delaware.

    Cheers to celebrating!!:beers:

    Really spotty distribution of Harvest this but you're lucky... Majority of the beer is going to the East Coast (from NC-North)... Then the three West Coastal states.

    Looks like they are spreading 70 cases across the state of Mass. Seaboard and Craft Brewers Guild (40 cases) outside Boston have received their beer earlier this week. Be on the look out.

    I just made a post in the Wet Hop thread. A beer retailer local to me just announced they got some in:

    “12oz 6pk Bottles Sierra Nevada

    Northern Hemisphere Harvest Wet Hop IPA

    "Bottled on 9/21/21"

    Cheers!

    Been patiently waiting for the most important thread of the year ever since I read the can news. I am skeptical, but of course will buy some. Glad to hear bottles are still being produced. I first thought it moved totally to cans.

    Me, because I obsessively seek out different batches and like to roll from one 12-pack to the next to see if there are differences.

    "It's the most overrated beer of the year!"

    :stuck_out_tongue::stuck_out_tongue:

    I'm glad people enjoy this one and I am just having a little fun but as for me I never got the hype and I have tried it so many times and walked away every time saying, "Yeah, it's alright."
