Sierra Nevada new BRUX!

tough to say what will happen, I have three bottles left and plan to update my review around this time next year.

 

I agree, drink one now, see how it progresses later. Still a good beer now, possibly an amazing one later.

As far as supply: I am a beer manager a wine and beer shop and I was only allowed to get 1 case from my distributor.

 

i too share this sentiment.

 

too bad its 15 bucks a bomber here. I have to pass. sad too I love SN, RR is ok, but the hype is just that.

 

It seems that every liquor store that carries craft beer in Orange County has this on there shelves right now. Whole foods in Tustin had multiple cases on the floor as of last week. I have a feeling this one will be around for a while (at least in my neck of the woods.)

It has been around $15 at most places I have seen.

 

In a good way I hope...

I was in a San Francisco restaurant last week that had it on the menu for $30!!!

 

Insert joke about Bay Area prices here. there's still a lot of this stuff around my neck of the woods but they also got a ton in. It's funny how some single stores got more cases of this than the entire area got of some releases from other breweries.

 

Had it in Jacksonville for around a month now

 

Just had one and it was ghastly. Tastes like infected Sierra Nevada Pale Ale - not a good combo. It may get better, but I doubt that anything that starts off this wrong is going to get that good.
Sierra Nevada is good at what they do, but this is so different that it's no surprise that it's an Epic Fail.

 

Yes of course in a good way. 30$ is just crazy

 

Binnys Lincoln park had it today, $13, two bottle limit

 

At a chain store (Total Wine) or a local bottle shop?

 

I know us and another bottle shop had it for sure. I'm pretty sure TW had it as well.

 

I got a few bottles of this last week and had one a few nights ago. WOW! Great tasting and super smooth for an 8% beer.

 

Not my favorite at first, too sweet. Was expecting more exotic sourness from RR collab. But, went back to the pub and had some more and liked it a little more. I think SN should have aged it for way longer than 3 months.

 

Why would you expect sourness? There are no souring bugs in this beer. Brettanomyces =/= sour. Think Orval.

 

"Why would you expect sourness? There are no souring bugs in this beer. Brettanomyces =/= sour. Think Orval."

I don't know why I expected it!!

 

This just hit Siciliano's in GR, by the way. $15.09/22oz, 1 per limit.

 

Needs more time to age.

 

If youre still looking for it in Jacksonville, European Street in Riverside has it sitting on their shelves still, as of a few days ago.
