Sierra Nevada 2019 Calendar

I bought a 24pk snowpack last year and Summer, Fall and Winter packs this year. Too bad. I noticed they weren't moving terribly quickly in Madison, though. Plenty of other things out there, I guess.

 

I wish the Keller was as easy to find in my area in NJ as it was a few years ago. That is an incredible Hefeweizen, one of the best Amercan Hefes.

 

I didn't actively look for it this past summer, but I did not ever see it here in the Bay Area a few hundred miles south of the brewery. If I used the beer finder function at SN I'm pretty sure I could have located it though. It is a quality hefe.

I do see stout and porter put up now and again.

 

The “spring seasonal” brut IPA is out. It’s the one on the left.

 

No seasonal samplers? There aren't many Winter packs left at my store. I'm going to pick one up tomorrow. Getting rid of their seasonal packs is awful. Are they not selling somewhere? They seem to move well where I'm at.

 

I always look forward to their mix packs and always pick them up! I am guaranteed to know they are as fresh as they can be and for me, they never disappoint!

 

Chris, how does the Brut IPA taste?

Cheers!

 

Haven’t picked it up yet.

 

Had Brut last night and it was quite nice. The best I've had (granted, only had three so far of this style). Nice herbal, dank quality which I liked. Will have another today on a fresher palate before I give it my final opinion... But it was tasty!

 

This would be a good beer to discuss in today's New Beer Sunday thread.

Cheers!

 

The Brut tasted like a much lighter version of BFD to me.
My first thought was a even more watery version of a Session IPA.
But I did enjoy it.

 

I'll be looking for Kellerweis. Haven't seen that around in some time.

 

Well, that is not good - from my perspective.

Cheers!

 

Hold the phone. 15-packs of 19.2 oz cans of Hop Bullet?

It's a lovely beer and I like 19.2 oz cans, but WTF was the logic behind that packaging?

 

I just imagine someone in Chico yelling "LUPULIN THRESHOLD IS FAKE NEWS"

 

It is likely that this pack is primarily for convenience stores/gas stations that break them up and sell them as singles.

 

Ahh, that makes more sense.

 

It's the industry standard "case" of beer.

19.2 oz. X 15 = 288 oz.
12 oz. X 24 = 288 oz.

 

It was for sure lighter and more "drinkable" than a typical IPA would be, like a hoppy lager of sorts. Fairly delicate, but with a nice flavor profile regardless. I didn't really think of it like a session IPA, as the flavor profile wasn't as 'imbalanced' as many can be. Due to the lack of bittering and such.

Glad I got the six pack, but doubt I would pick up another. I will be waiting on that Summerfest now

 

The Sampler details have been updated and it is Tropical Torpedo, I am thankful for this.
