Sam Adams Rebel Raw Double IPA

It would be a hoot if Bill would jack a Sammy thread. Actually, Sierra could can each and every one of their offerings, and I would like it. Including BA Narwhal.

 

Anyone returning their week older than expected Raw's, feel free to send them my way. I'd like to give this a try even if it's 45 days old instead of 35... I hope these businesses drink the older cans and don't waste them.

 

I've got one sitting around you can just have if you're in the Metrowest area.

 

"I would be willing to bet that from September - December that waaaay more Sierra Nevada Celebration was consumed vs. the beers of Trillium, Tree House, ....

IMO the masses agree with the new you!!"

Except "the masses" don't have access to Hill Farmstead, Tree House and Trillium or have never tasted it.

 

More reason that the "masses" drink more Celebration.

Cheers!

 

Man, that's like heresy on this site these days. Good on ya for drinkin' what ya like

 

Does anyone know if this is on the shelves yet in the bay area ?

 

^ the link somewhere in the back pages gave some more insight.
but from the sounds of it, it isn't distributing out there yet.
I think they wanted to get an idea of marketability and then decide to distribute wide.
going off memory though. check out the link. too lazy to look back my self.

 

No, as noted above, from a quote of BBC's Blog - only available in the metro areas of Boston, Chicago, New York City, Philadelphia and Washington DC.

 

^^^^ This exactly. Came here to say the same thing. So malty and sweet

 

When in this sort of bind, I usually work my way over to the hoppy red ales. Although they tend to be almost too chalked full of crystal 40 that it becomes a dominating flavor. But it's usually not a big deal. When I can't find specific malty ipas, look for other names that in reality match the ipas ibus

 

Didn't see the quote above, but thank you sir.

 

This was actually quite a bit better a week after the best by date.

 

This would have been great at 8%

 

Will definitely check this out assuming every other beer on earth disappears.

 

I'm beginning to lose track of the beers in the SA rebel series. When there were 3 I could kinda remember which was which, but now I have to look them up or check the label design each time to make sure I know which we're talkin' about.

 

yea you strike me as more of wild blue guy anyway : P

 

Any of you guys know if they're making more if this?

 

The refitted m reviews are a big let down!

 

It seems there is a new batch out. Anybody have tried it? How does it compare to the first one? I really want to try this, but sadly Wisconsin was not selected again
