release date of Sierra Nevada Bigfoot
 

Does anyone know when the Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine
will be released? In particular, I'm wondering when they'll
have it available at their taproom in Chico, CA.

Last year in early October I asked an SN brewery guy
when Bigfoot would be released. He said they don't know
that far in advance. It's usually near the end of January,
IIRC.
Heck, I just looked for any announcemnet of the annual
Celebration Ale release date and didn't find anything. That
should be soon, and should keep your whistle wet for awhile.

FWIW, been drinking it for a week in the Bay Area.

I spotted 2005 Celebration on a supermarket shelf last Sunday,
10/16/05. It's already being distributed on the Left Coast.

Dang, next thing you know we'll be drinking it on
VJ Day.

Here in Austin, we *did* drink on VJ day this year. In fact, we've been
able to drink it every day so far, thanks to some farsighted bar
managers.

It's looking like we'll be able to do a vertical draft of the '04 and
'05, maybe even the '03 (if anybody can remember where we stashed that
last keg).

Austin. A better beer town than you may realize.

I hate you.

Oh, I realize it's not a bad town for beer. I'm
a Texan-in-law with a UT-grad wife, and make it down
there every so often. I still miss that dive Waterloo.

Join the club. Dues are cheap.

Me, too. And right now, I'm missing the Bitter End, which suffered a
fire a month or so back. Looks like it'll be at least Thanksgiving
before it's reopened, barring a bit of a miracle. So it'll likely be
Xmas before the brewing is back at full strength at our best brewpub.
