Sierra Nevada Grand Cru 30th Anny

Blend of Pale Ale, Celebration and Bigfoot.

Anyone had this yet?

I have an unopened bottle in my fridge but I haven’t gotten around to it yet.

me too - I was wondering if its worth a second (or third) bottle before they are all gone.  my store only has a few left.

me three.  I have to stop buying and start drinking commercial examples.

I’ll chime in when I get around to it Paul.

I had it with the wife as we were having a relaxed conversation.  Oak is not over the top, malt and hops work well together, found it enjoyable.

Still have to open the Jack and Ken’s black Barleywine.

I drank mine last night.  Bitterness was very prominent but pretty smooth.  Definitely less of a bitterness slap in the face than Celebration.  There was was nice underlying caramel once it warmed up a bit.  I’d buy another.

none of the stores around here carry it :cry:

i grabbed a bottle last time i was in covington, la and i was going to save it, but my buddy from baton rogue told me to drink it as he had me another one.  i plan on cracking it open this weekend.  with the three blended beers being hop forward fresh, i want to try it that way for sure.

I thought it was the best of the series. Actually got to have it on tap here (St. Paul) also. Yes, I would buy another while they are still around. I bought 2 of each - 1 to drink and 1 to cellar. The Black Barleywine was very good as well. I think the stout was too young, kind of hot, to drink now.

That Stout when young was kinda meh, but we had it in November after a few more months of aging and it made me with I had purchased a case. I still have two in the fridge and one is the Grand Cru. Maybe I’ll take her out for a ride this weekend.

Cracked that puppy opened last night, pretty nice American Strong Ale.
