    “Better beer for the money? Celebration.”

    Yeah, Celebration does win the bang for the buck award!

    Cheers!

    Celebration.

    My most looked forward-to non local.
    Always been good to me. Also, for a hoppy
    beer it keeps VERY well. I have had a two+ year old celebration
    that still tasted quite good.

    Celebration in comparison to other fresh hop beers falls short of standing out. Two Hearted has a signature taste that I can't find in any other IPA. Two Hearted wins for me by a land slide.

    Hard to choose, both are really solid examples of the style and both very well made!

    Racer 5 is very similar, and I agree about 2H Ale.

    it's a win/win situation if ever I saw one. Today I vote TwoHearted, but I'll see next week if I get a six of Celebration in the interim.

    Put me in the "I don't get the two hearted love" club. It's good, but hardly anything special. Side by side I'll grab a stone IPA every single time without a second thought. I do love me a celebration or 12 when it comes out each year though.

    Ive never seen Two Hearted in a 12pack, so Celebration is my winner

    Found myself thinking more about this. I can get Celebration often for 7.99 where as the last time I bought Two Hearted it was 11.50 a sixer (odds are I can get it for a bit less, 10.99 maybe?) anyway. That makes Two Hearted 43% more expensive than Celebration. I might be picking the extremes but we're talking at least 25-30% more. Add in Celebration holds up VERY well with some age and well last time I bought Two Hearted it was freaking awful due to age (I assumed it sold faster and didn't look). So given price and quality if not ideal, I give another HUGE edge the Celebration. But all that said Stone IPA is king if the around 10 dollar sixer IPAs that I can get.

    Hey I have an idea. Why don't you pick two beers that are similar first? Then compare them.

    I SN Celebration, but Two Hearted is a beer I could drink every day and never get sick of.

    Cheers!

    Bought a six of Celebration yesterday for 7.99. Very good beer. Would not have bought it if BA hadn't had good things to say about it. I can't seem to go wrong with Sierra Nevada beers.

    I would LOVE to see the results of how many mid/north westerners voted for Two Hearted, and those west coast voting for Celebration....

    That said...two great beers so I can not chose!

    Tried two hearted once. Incredibly disappointing for a simple IPA. Celebration gets loads of acclaim but imo it lives up to it.

    I don't have to drive to Pennsylvania to get Celebration, so I'll have to go with that one.
