As we approach the holiday season, Sierra Nevada is helping fans get into the festive spirit with the relaunch of its Celebration. First brewed in 1981, the family-owned brewery is bringing back this fresh-hop IPA, marking its 40th anniversary. Available nationwide in mid-October, Celebration Ale features fresh hops (the first of the season) and boasts notes of malty caramel, pine, and citrus. The beverage is great for fall and winter with its warm and indulgent flavor profile.
To kick off the relaunch, the brand debuted the 'Twas the Night Before Brewing: Celebration' video campaign that features Charlie Bamforth reading a holiday poem that was inspired by the creation of the decadent beer.
Consumers can now purchase the Sierra Nevada Celebration Beer at participating retailers.
