Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Returns in 2016

Ha, I read this and was hoping for the tour.. they can keep the beer

 

Wow! Collaborating with 30 breweries this time.

Looks like Bill (@sierranevadabill ) is going to have a very busy 2016!!

@bergbrew too.

Cheers!

 

Man, some fun collabs there. As a Southwesterner, love seeing Beachwood/Societe/Smog City on there. For the NE folks, some super interesting collabs w/ Lawson's and Trillium. Really interested to see how the collab with the latter turns out, as it seems to me the respective breweries' approaches (or at least the finished products) to hoppy beer are strikingly different. Fun stuff!

 

Looks interesting, and with a lot of quality breweries included among that list of 30 collaborators.

The only question I have at this point (it was not clearly stated in the post, as far as I could determine) is whether or not all markets will get each of the 6 "super groups" since they were grouped based on regions. If so, cool; if not, then I wonder how SN will group certain markets that don't nicely fit into one of those regions (i.e. is Kentucky considered Midwest? or Southeast? A lot of different answers to this one depending on who you ask haha)

 

Maybe you'd luck out and get allotments from all those regions!

 

Trillium, Societe, Odell, Creature Comforts, Wicked Weed, Perennial, Lost Abbey, Funky Buddha, Beachwood and Lawson's. Niceeeeee.

 

Already hoping there'll be an August Schell collaboration in the pack.

 

Super glad to hear this. I love how Sierra Nevada, one of the oldest, biggest craft breweries in the nation, is never resting on its laurels. You may not think it produces the best craft beer in the country, but it's still doing a lot of work to further the growth of the concept as well as the industry.

 

I would put money on 2 of each, simply for economies of scale. Then again it's SN and not like they're short on production space, although contracts with the other brewers for some amount of the collab could eat into that pretty quick.

Edit: Err, sharing with 5 other brewers for each collab as opposed to just one other last year.

 

If every region is getting different 12 packs, this is going to be the biggest ISO/FT fest ever...

 

Check out this crew...

I had no idea Lawson's was based in Alameda, California.

 

[Tap Dance]Love it![/Tap Dance]

While I didn't get to the event last year, I very much enjoyed the 12 pack. Really enjoyed the different styles and creativity. I will do my best to get to one of these events next year.

 

I loved the Beer Camp pack last time, still have one in the cellar, great stuff. I am excited about another round and looking forward to them heading to hop country for the tour stop.

 

Had an absolute blast at the Beer Camp in Philly back in 2014. Having Ken pour me a glass of Hoptimum was one of my all time top beer experiences. Looking forward to see what everyone comes up with this time around. Thanks for bringing this back SN!

 

I was in the minority and thought many of the last collabs were good. With this list, I'm even more amped. I'll be seeking them all out.

 

Truly psyched that this will be back next year.
