    Good to see the Snowpack is being released as usual after the Fall Pack non-appearance. The lineup includes a couple of new beers this year:
    • Pale Ale
    • Coffee Stout
    • Wintertide (winter warmer)
    • Holiday Haze IPA
    Looking forward to picking this up in a couple of months!

    This looks awesome @sierranevadabill, excited to snag a pack when its out, still wishing you guys would put Coffee Stout into a stand alone 6 pack year round :stuck_out_tongue:

    Wintertide? An answer to Anchor's Our Special Ale after all these years?

    With that Coffee Stout I may have my wife pushing for more beer purchases this year. :grin:

    (Then again, I haven't told her there's a new Guinness Export Stout due to hit shelves :wink:)

    Google 200th Anniversary Export Stout.

    BA already has it listed.

    Can't believe the guy (member since Thursday) who thinks it's relabeled Draught when that's 4.0ABV and this new(ish) beer is 6.0. No accounting for perception.

    I just saw that LOL, I was just reading the reviews on it. I also just pulled it up at my local total wine, they show it in stock for $8.99 a six pack which is pretty good price. I don't know how I missed this, I was just there and did not see. Eager to see how it tastes.

    Ya, I read his post also, not too sure what he was going after, review seemed biased to me.

    Looking forward to Snowpack, Fresh Hop Pack, Celebration Ale, and Northern Hemisphere, I've already started consuming Narwhal. Sierra Nevada will occupy much of my fridge in these coming months.

    Great (or grate) a traditional winter hazy IPA.

    Guys, start a thread for that one. This is about Sierra Nevada. Sounds like a pretty nice pack. Will be waiting!

    Yeah, yeah -- didn't mean it to go that far. Saw-ree Dudley. :wink: Looking forward to the SN pack too.

    I will say that I do want this pack, but maybe putting torpedo at 7.2% would have made it a slam dunk. They usually have one semi strong beer in the packs. This one tops out at 6.5% for the hazy IPA. But still sound WAY better than the drinking buddies pack and no fall pack

    You know the beer market is weird when I'm more excited for a seasonal mix pack and a seasonal IPA whose recipe NEVER changes (Celebration) than I am for the latest hazy IPA releases from Boston-area breweries.

    Not a winter warmer fan and the SNPA is not a beer I ever buy as I don't really like it. Really like the coffee stout but looks like this year I need to pass. Can't spend money on a 12 pack to drink 3 beers , maybe 6 if the hazy thing is any good.

    Don't know why the coffee stout is not a stand alone seasonal. Easy three case buy for me.

    Enjoy

    I think it's strategically smart of them to keep the Coffee stout exclusively in the Winter pack. People buy that whole 12 pack just for those 3 beers. Genius!

    My thoughts as well. How bout a Brown Ale? Old Ale? English Barleywine? Weizenbock?

    Hell, even their regular Porter.
