One of my favourite American brewers…
This gift pack contains 3 x 355mL cans of Sierra Nevada's whole-cone hop beers and a Spiegelau IPA glass.
The hop lovers line up:
Pale Ale, 3 Weight Session IPA and Hazy Little Thing IPA.
Originally $29.99, now $19.90
My local store (and other stores nearby) have plenty.
$10 and i'll bite
yeah 3 tinnies for $20 is a bit rich.
it's like the yanks paying $20 for 3 cans of fat yak or James Squire.
Your tongue left home… when?
it stays home I brew my own.
Sierra Nevada brews is just another Amarillo hop driven beer. Not dissimilar to JS Hop Thief.
SN is a main stream "craft beer" just like JS, low in bitterness, mostly fruity hops flavour. Nothing special, I make the stuff at ~$1/lt not sure how they can justify ~$20/lt. Maybe because of the lack of bitterness, you can only stomach 3 cans in a session?
TLDR: Another bog standard American Pale Ale.
@[Deactivated]: Dat Hop Hunter tho
Also I think this is THE standard American Pale Ale. It's like 30 years old now or something from memory.
@Nalar: yeah it was spreading up the west coast in the 90's and then headed east. It was exciting stuff back then (for an Aussie), then I visit Belgium…..
I'm not bagging the beer, just the price.
If it was 6 cans, it'd be a bargain…
Pretty good considering the $20 beer glass
Don't be fooled by the rrp of the glasses, I got a 6 pack of them from peters of Kensington for like $40.
They are however a nice glass and it's like $5 for it in this pack. Only problem is they will break if you look at them the wrong way. Already lost 2 to falling over in the sink.
I also know from experience how thin the glass is, but great to drink out of
I hate ddrinking out of thin glass, probably because I'm subconsciously afraid it'll break.
beer, wine, bubbles, scotch…the glass has to be thick like me. Hoegaarden make a nice glass. Peroni too.
Me also, while great to drink out of these glasses are incredibly fragile.
Got this last year with the 330 bottle version. Glass is super nice. Beer is ok: not as nice as from tap, but pretty good. Tin seems to travel much better
Can confirm. Can travels well and allows for 13.6% extra nectar. The glass is also a fine addition to the cabinet.
had a look and most stores in syd have about 6-15 in stock
gift packs all starting to go on sale to get rid of stock,
funnily enough at one point Jagermeister gift pack (700ml bottle + the freezer thingo) was $5 cheaper than the single bottle.
