Sierra Nevada Celebration Sightings (2022)

Good quote in your post above. What I should have written in my initial post (#52) is that my first impression of the beer suggested to me that SN might be targeting a slightly lower carb level for Celebration. Could be totally wrong. Just curious…

 

Perhaps Terence (@SierraTerence) could provide input here?

Cheers!

 

Poor Terence!

 

Eh, he loves it.

And gets paid for it.

 

I'm sure they're looking for a nice, smooth body -- even similar to cask ales. Carb bite would distract from the goodness of the beer.

 

Landed in NorCal, canned 10/3.

 

That's the equivalent of 6.8 standard beers (12 oz. at 5%).

Good for you!

 

Currently 6 miles away (in San Jose). Hopefully it will get a little closer over the course of the day as I plan to pick some up this evening.

 

There in the Washington DC metropolitan area!



Cheers!

 

Wine and Beverage Deport, Totowa NJ, Canned on 10/5/22

 

Used to buy singles of this as well as Christmas Ale all the time before Sunset Beer closed.
If I see a single I will def buy one.
Trader Joes usually carries them

 

Showed up in my part of NJ today, now the decision of get it tonight or this weekend…

 

I think it was last year when someone at my local TJ's found a spot in a prominent cooler to stock some Celebration. First and last time I have seen that happen for any beer at TJs. I was there last night. Celebration yet to arrive.

 

It just dropped at local Total Wines, $16.99 for a 12 pack of cans. Thursday is close enough to the weekend for me. That's my plan and I'm sticking to it.

 

The closet TW now only shows cases of bottles arriving in November. All other package formats do not show any arrival time.

Enjoy

 

Lawson's is always stocked in a cooler at TJ's. At least what I've observed.

 

Refrigerated 12 pack acquired. Let the festivities commence. (canned 10/3)

 

That's 3 weeks old! The hops will be shot!

 

Patiently waiting for its arrival to Central PA . . .

 

Picked up the first of two anticipated 12-packs for the elongated holiday season, which may last into March with the SNBC Celebration super-durable hops. Cans dated 9-30-22; picked up at the Hendersonville, NC Harris Teeter for $15.99.
Cheers!

We get plenty of great beer including all the SN brands. I like to take a short ride over the border to get Celebration as it’s substantially less money and I get my once a year to check out all the other beers and buy some other alcohol at a good discount to PA.

PA also does not get the bottles anymore.


Enjoy

 

Still waiting...

 

I’m surprised that PA has not gotten it yet considering the Phillies are in the World Series, just saying…

 

Celebration in hand or not I will be celebrating next week. Go Phils.

Enjoy

 

Great point. Red label and the beer’s name is “Celebration” . . . bet some people would buy it just because of this if they saw it while shopping.

 

It’s in the Triangle. $16.99 for a twelve pack at TW Durham. 9/30 can date.

 

It arrived on outskirts of Nashville on 10/24 canned on 9/30 which is the earliest date I can remember. At $17.99/12 pack at Publix, I’ve grabbed three 12-packs already. Cheers!

 

Just got two twelve packs today at TW, Burlington, MA. 10/4 date and $16.49.

 

Celebration cans were indeed can conditioned last year. I’d be surprised if that changes. I remember Terrance saying the original 4 beers will always be conditioned. pale ale, celebration, Porter, and stout

 

Just picked up a 12 pack in the northeast corner of CT!

 

Those drain pours can be sent my way...

Well it's only Game 1 tonight. Plenty of time for Celebration to arrive before it's time to actually celebrate (from a jealous Red Sox fan).

 

I'm seeing it delivered to some places the next town over, two days ago, I assume I'll see it locally next week. I just checked my posts from last year and my first Celebration post was
10/28, so it's on schedule, give or take a few days

 

Nothing at all yet in north San Diego county.

 

Looks like nothing South of Clovis/Fresno thus far...maybe next week?

[EDIT: Actually the beer finder says a couple places had it delivered 3 days ago in Van Nuys - might go investigate this weekend...]

 

SCORE!!! Picked up a case yesterday just over the border in northern DE.. (not TW) But I hope to get more tomorrow, because the Flyers, Phillies, and Eagles the next couple days will put the beer supply in jeopardy... Happy Friday Folks!!!

 

HyVee Milan, IL got a case today. 10/4/22 canned.

 

Grabbed these today from a little independent liquor market in Van Nuys - packaged 9/30/22. ~$12.41ea after tax/CRV
