    With less travel and dining/drinking out, I have felt a greater pull toward seasonal things. Local apples/pies, local brews and hiking/fishing all across NC.

    With Mills River in my "backyard," I cannot WAIT for 2020 Celebration. Although I am enjoying/supporting some smaller/local places to the best of my ability, this annual classic is soon to be on the shelf and cannot wait to see what the 2020 version tastes like. Old school that holds up!

    Please shout out when you see it!!

    @SierraTerence when can we hope to see it? Can we have a review of this years?:grinning: :beers:

    Celebration is to Winter as peanut butter is to jelly.

    I wonder what spices Sierra Nevada will add to Celebration this year. The rumor is nutmeg. :rolling_eyes:

    Really?

    There is at least "A" reason to celebrate 2020?

    Optimistic bastards, ain't y'all.?

    The one seasonal that I truly seek out.

    I also like Highlands Cold Mountain, imo it’s a bit pricy but its a really good beer. I had just a simple Highlands IPA at Barleys in Asheville two years ago, and it was stunningly good, I wasn’t expecting much, but don’t sleep on Highlands beers.

    I was waiting for this thread. Love it. Pumped for it this year. 2020 has been so... well, you know. Glad to look forward to this and skiing.

    I'll be brewing my home brew clone of it in about 2 weeks. Already warming up my spice grinder :wink:. Hopefully I can get some to drink at the same time.

    Bring it on! Celebration is hands down my favorite seasonal. I like to celebrate early so I wouldn't be made if SN started releasing this in September, kinda like the pumpkin beers and Oktoberfests hitting shelves in July. Who needs calendars anymore?

    I've been a craft beer fan since about 2005 and this is still my favorite IPA out there. Can't wait for it to hit the DC area.

    Damn, I can't wait for my first Celebration.

    Remember, Celebration is one of their bottle conditioned beers so add 14 days to the date of their IG story above before it's sent out to the wild. :wink: I'm looking forward to it as many others.

    My local store just got a bunch of summer fest, celebration is probably a few months out still.
