    I'd like to try some Sierra Nevada brews!

    I'd also like to get Dogfish Head stuff. I had some 90 Minute when I was down in Fort Collins last year. I was underwhelmed. However, I'd like to try more of their stuff.

    Now that Stone and Lagunitas are available here in Alberta I'm happy. However, I'd like to see these two breweries up here as well.

    Sierra Nevada is available over here in BC.

    If you've got a real bad hankering, BM me and I can probably send some off your way.

    Glad to hear SN is available in BC. I wonder if it will be coming to AB soon?

    I also hear Driftwood is coming to AB soon. I'm looking forward to that!

    Sierra Nevada may very well be in Alberta sometime this year.

    It's also just entered Ontario, on draft no less.

    It has been promised to Alberta for decades and to of all things a wine agent. Always love me an SNPA.

    Seems a little more likely now given it's already in BC and now Onterrible.

    I don't see an issue with a wine agent taking on a big brand like SN. Quite a few cork dorks know & like beer, too. At least the ones I know in the industry do.

    I’ve heard SN has been on the way to Alberta for a long time now, you can only hear so much before you go deaf.

    The merging of two threads: I had SN Pale Ale and Stone IPA at lunch today. The only thing left in question is my afternoon's productivity....:rolling_eyes:

    I've never had any Sierra Nevada. I'd really like to try the Pale Ale. A classic.

    Sierra Nevada was once available at Allen's in Toronto. But that was mid 80s.
    Consider moving to Scotland. Their range is pretty good here. Just finished my last 2014 Celebration Ale on Wednesday. Still holding onto to some Vintage Bigfoot and can get big cans of Torpedo without too much fuss.
    Feel sorry for you guys. :slight_frown:

    SN has been available in BC as long as I can remember. I swear I saw it in Winnipeg last time I was there. Could be wrong.

    (That said - we don't get too much variety from them, most of the sixers, no 32oz. Sucks yet, or anything BA)

    Alberta doesn't get any Laguntias barrel-aged stuff. Although I have had some barrel aged stuff at the brewery don't remember seeing any of it for sale in bottles ever.

    ha, wow. I feel like face-palming myself. That came outta nowhere. Of course Sucks is from Lagunitas... doh!
