Sierra Nevada Range At Dans

[jakester]

Dont know if this has been covered, have not been on here for a while but i have not seen it mentioned. A mate told me he bought some SNPA from Dan Murphys on friday and i couldnt believe it. Probably my favourite beer of all time available at a local bottle shop. Went down on saturday and got a six pack of the pale ale and IPA. The best before date was for june 2012 so its nice and fresh. My wife got me a case last year from an online beer store and cost $120 bucks, and tasted like it was out in the sun for three years before it got to me.
I know alot of people on here brew the clone and have not tried it, so heres your chance. Maybe not as good as drinking it fresh in the states but as good as we are going to get.

Yeah, it's pretty good

Btw support your local independent - tell your local bottle-o to get it from Phoenix (no affiliation just want to see smaller businesses succeed with good products )

oops, just seen a thread already on the topic. Must have skipped it, knew the topic would be popular.
DJR, our local bottle shops are only interseted in VB and Tooheys, so for me no choice but to go to Dans unfortunately.
And Gibbocore, whats so funny? Glad to give you a laugh though.

The Dan's in Newcastle only received 2 cartons of each style. If you see it's for sale you need to move fast. I agree that only the Sierra from Phoenix is worth buying as the others are out of date and you have know idea how they were stored.

They have a fair supply of Torpedo at the Brisbane Holland Park Dan's this afternoon.

 

[aktim]

They must be getting a supply in Newcastle every week. Check on line and there were 22 Torpedo's. I zipped down and grabbed 12. Tasted great!

Btw support your local independent

Can you find the Southern Hemisphere brew from Sierra? If not, too bad as it is a fine brew made with Kewi hopps.

I'm sure I saw a photo from Pollux the other day with his booty of brews, including Southern Hemisphere

Spot on my friend..............I grabbed mine from Platinum Liquor in North Straithfield.


Check Sierra Nevada's FB page, it's full of info on stockists.

and who says booze plays with your memory ?
Great store with such an eclectic range beyond the bog standard craft imports, my mrs just bought a couple of bottles of Norweigan IPA (Ok one was a double IPA) but sadly they were for an aquaintance in return for a favour. Might have to make sure I'm there when they are cracked open.

They have a blog too. Adam is not exactly positive about his customers, and their obsession with IPA :lol:

**** it, Im going there now to try this Southern Hemisphere beer.

 

[big78sam]

Went to the Dan Murphy's at Watergardens and they had Pale Ale and Kellerweis. I could only see a handful of cartons of each on the shelves.

 

[Silo Ted]

Just sucking down a Southern Hemisphere Harvest now. Its, um, hoppy

And there's my review.

 

[Pollux]

Bahahahaha, I love the rant regarding people who mainly drink "big" beers...........I'll admit I am guilty of this at times.......Might have to expand my palate a little.

I'm thinking of making a beer, labelling it J.A.I.P.A. and having him sell it in the store. :lol:

I just had a pale ale and my reaction was "meh". Nothing special. No real hop character there. Maybe it was just the long trip from the US or the way this was stored have affected the beer...

Maybe it's all the IPAs I've been having recently

Oh well, off to open a Brew Dog IPA!

I'd rather complain about customers coming in ordering nothing but IPA than bloody pale lager... He should change it to:

JAPL

Or maybe everyone who shops there can start buying nothing but sour beers, then he can start flaming something else.

Hit up DM's Penrith today. Wasn't wearing a flanny or listening to Jimmy

1 stubby each of Torpedo, Pale Ale, Brewdog Punk IPA, Alpha Ale, and an Abbey Ale to round it out.

They had the Kellerweis as well... no sign of the southern hemisphere. And no Epic pale ale I must find some of that.

Thanks for the FB page heads up

There are plenty of Sierra Nevada stockists in NSW (if your local doesn't have any you should encourage them to get it in). If it is the Southern Harvest in particlular you are after, you have 2 options... Leura Cellars and Platinum Liquor North Strathfield.

Of course - Leura cellars!
