Sierra Nevada High Altitude Pack

Absolutely. I hope this won't be the last time we see it. It's my perfect beer. A well balanced hoppy beer that isn't double digits. It's like Bigfoot and Pale Ale had a kid.

The pack was 30 bones at Costco in Ann Arbor, MI.

Keep in mind, you don't need a membership to buy alcohol!

 

I found this randomly at a local liquor store last week. For $30 I couldn't pass it up

 

A lot of beer lovers don't worry about $/ounce overall. We worry about buying beer that we really enjoy. If everyone was truly worried about $/ounce, we would all be drinking the cheapest 30-packs we can find.

 

I paid $20 for BA Bigfoot last year and I really liked it. So if I can get a bottle of that and 3 others for $10 more, I'm def gonna pick it up. I might even buy 2 boxes.

 

I loved seeing this at my local Costco in SC. I love when they get something a bit different than the normal Sam Adams Mixed Case or Bud Light/Coors Light Case. I have drank the Six Rights IPA so far and enjoyed it. I'm pumped to dig into the other 3!

 

I'm with you and thinking about grabbing another one!

 

My Costco still has a bunch. They also just got in the Sierra Nevada Oliva 3 packs. $19.99.

 

Picked up this pack at the Asheville Brewery gift shop last weekend.

 

OMG is my Costco the only one that has shit beer. I have been looking at the same box of 750ml Sorachi Ace for the past 2 years. Some nice belgian beers, but that is pretty much it

 

Got this in Costco for just under $30; I loved the Stout and the IPA (the best IPA I had in a long time), the Dunkelweisen Bock was nice but not outstanding and the Big Foot had too much of a whiskey taste for me.

 

I just bought this pack from a Costco in California for 20 bucks. I think it was worth it.

 

Which Costco, Friendo?

 

When will PA see this?

 

The Costco in Altamonte Springs has a ton of these still at $30. The Six Rights was excellent. Haven't tried the others yet.

 

The very, very first batch of BA Bigfoot I'm aware of was aged in a blend of bourbon whiskey barrels and Scotch whisky barrels. They didn't release it when they first planned to because it was very rough-tasting. I don't know if that means they let it age further and eventually released it as Batch 1 or if it means they never released it all period.

Anyway, I personally think the idea of Bigfoot aged in any type of whisk/e/y barrels is disgusting, so I'm not very curious about this. Maybe if it had BA Narwhal instead.

 

I picked up a vertical 6-pack (12oz) at the SN Brewery in Mills River of Bigfoot, and added a 2016 Bigfoot to have 7 years.

Going back to SN next week for the Alpha Hop Society get together and will definitely look for the High Altitude pack in the gift shop.

 

I saw them a few weeks ago at the SNBC in Mills River, NC, but didn't pick up the 4 pack. I picked up a bomber of the Six Rights IPA and it was fantastic!!! BA Bigfoot...well that speaks for itself in the best grandiose terms!!! There were also many other bombers of brewery only goodies, including a BBA Hoptimum...yes, seriously!!!

IMHO, try all varieties of beer, try all breweries, try everything from SNBC.

 

Sage advise. There are just so many great beers, and varieties. I have my favorite beer, and styles, yet I am ALWAYS open to new and different brews to expand my horizons. I don't get people that stick to just one style or brewery, why limit yourself. Yes I have my 'goto' favorites, but when I see something new/different, I'm going to give it a try.

When I go to a brewery I'm looking for their small batch, special batch, limited stuff. This can be a challenge, at Sierra Nevada there can be 20+ different beers on the menu, and at times some not yet on the menu yet, but the server knows about them and can describe them.

 

Going to pick this up later. Stoked to try four new brews, especially the BA Bigfoot (which I've always wanted to try, just never got the chance to snag one or two). Might even get two, because I know that although the BA BF will be delicious now, it will benefit from some aging. And hell, will be cool to see how the other brew's besides the DIPA are with age.

 

I was at SN today, no High Altitude packs left. Did get a bottle of the Chocolate Chili Stout and Six Rights IPA.
