Sierra Nevada Oktoberfest?

We don't do Southern Hemisphere in 12-ounce format, sadly, only in 24oz bottles which are dimensionally similar to our 12-ounces. We can't really get the fresh New Zealand hops for long enough to do the beer in a full-scale 6-pack offering. We only get what we can each year to do small limited runs of the big bottle format. I know what you're saying about Christmas in June, though. That beer is one of my favorite IPAs we do...second only to Celebration (and maybe Northern Hemisphere...damn, I love them all!)

Nothing is confirmed until it's actually on our schedule... We're working on some really fun stuff, though. I can't wait for some of these prototypes to shore-up a little more!

 

November. We've already got it on the docket for next year too!

 

The similar dimensions was throwing me off on the website pic.

Oh, well. I just enjoyed a Southern Hemisphere on draft last weekend. I forgot how much I enjoy that brew.

 

Outstanding! Thank you Bill I will be on the lookout come November

 

Can't wait for that ! Estimated release date?

 

not sure on the release date.

 

Awesome news! Will the BA Narwhal be bottled, draft only or both? Will it see distribution?

 

Threads where SN Bill replies are like Christmas morning.

 

Sierra Nevada seems to stay a large distributor but continuously produces quality batches that are popular with the beer community.
This will definitely blow sam Adams out of the water.

 

Bill - Thanks for the update. As perhaps the No. 1 Sierra Nevada fan in the state of Pennsylvania, I look forward to this Fall variety pack. SNPA is the very epitome of APA, and seldom gets the love it deserves. I welcome Tumbler for a well-deserved brief return. And, can't wait to try the two lagers - excellent choices for a Fall variety pack. As usual, Sierra Nevada does it right.

 

Typically, COLA's (TTB Label approval) are not needed for keg distribution within the state. Any out of state distribution needs a TTB approved keg collar.

 

I liked last year's version, better.

Wait, SNBill is Santa Claus?

 

BA Narwhal will be bottles in 750mL bottles and be available in very limited draught. It will see distribution similar to the release of Barrel-aged Bigfoot. i.e. limited but not unattainable.

Well, my belly definitely shakes like a bowl full of jelly if that counts for anything.

 

When did BA BigFoot come out don't recall ever seeing any of that round my way.

That sounds really good too!

 

First an East Coast expansion, then a Beer Camp Festival cross country march, now a Vienna Lager in the Variety pack...hmmm, a shot across Sam Adams bow?

 

Well then I am the number #1 AZ fan of SN! Gonna go pick up another IPA variety pack today after work.
