Question about Sierra Nevada Kellerweis

If I can get it in MT, you're just not looking hard enough.

 

That's strange... I am in New York, 3,000 miles away and the stuff is everywhere. Is it a market thing? Do other similar beers sell well in your area? Are there many hefeweizens, dunkels, wit biers, etc. in your area?

 

Sounds like the distributor isn't bringing it in. It's a year round staple for SN, and it's a really good beer.

 

I would guess the distributor is choosing not to carry it.

 

I have a pretty hard time finding it at grocery stores here in Portland. Bottle shops are even hit or miss for that matter. The better ones always have it though. It's really excellent and worth tracking down. Try their beer finder to see if it's stocked near you. http://www.sierranevada.com/beer-locator?Zip=

 

That would be funny to have to trade for it, but IMO it is worth it (at least as far as hefe's go)

 

it's standard fare everywhere here in Texas -- not hard to find at all

 

It's everywhere from Olympia to Seattle. Qfc's carry it, other stores too. Just call around

 

Pretty standard to find cases of it, but 6ers are little less common, but seen.

 

My local bottle shop has had a lot of stuff from Founders including KBS and Bolt Cutter, but I've never seen Founders Porter on the shelf.

 

That's too bad. It's the best American Hefe I've ever had.

 

Just grab some Weinstephaner Hefe, they should be readily available. SN can't touch it.

 

Yeah, I've never seen it in Columbus either. And I really wanted to try it

 

Chucks has it, malt and vine has it, bottleworks has it, lots of grocery stores have it.....I'm not sure where you've been looking.

 

Where are you located in WA? Sorry I just assumed you were in King county.

 

There are better, but threre is worse.

 

I picked some up a few weeks ago after not seeing it in my area for two years. Same thing happened with Stone Levitation. I didn't buy it when I really started getting into craft and then it was gone for a couple of years.

 

You've had 106 SN beers and haven't managed to find Kellerweis? I find this hard to believe, on at least a couple of levels. Do you live near a Fred Meyer?
