Sierra Nevada / Faust Miltenberger Oktoberfest (2017)

6.1% alcohol. 30 IBU. 2017 offering. http://sierranevada.com/beer/seasonal/oktoberfest

"Each year, we partner with a different German brewer to explore the roots of Germany’s famous Oktoberfest beers. This year, we’re collaborating with Germany’s Brauhaus Miltenberger, whose approach to the classic style we’ve long admired. The result is a festival beer true to their style—deep golden in color with deceptively rich malt flavor and balanced by traditional German-grown whole-cone hops.://http://sierranevada.com/beer/seasonal/oktoberfest/beer/seasonal/oktoberfest

Mother Lager

5% alcohol. 30 IBU. Limited offering. Brewed in New England.

"The Evolved Euro-Style Lager. Brewed to spur the people to unite in the fight for imbibing emancipation and smash the oppressive tyranny of malt monotony! Mother Lager was a refreshing, evolved alternative to the familiar Euro-style imports, exported from the People’s Republic of Vermont. A revolutionary Euro-style lager with a mild malt sweetness, finishing with an assertive hop bitterness."

Beer Camp 2017 Raspberry Sundae

8% alcohol. 10 IBU. 2017 offering from Sierra Nevada & The Bruery.

"Together we’re brewing a riff on the flavors of the classic raspberry ice cream sundae. This beer features raspberry, cocoa and vanilla, in addition to lactose (an unfermentable sugar) that adds a richness and a sweetness, helping to blend and meld the flavors of this ultra-complex beer together. It’s been a true pleasure to work with artists at The Bruery using ingredients and techniques outside of our normal wheelhouse."

Dry-Hopped Barleywine-Style Ale

9.4% alcohol. 90 IBU. 2017. Sierra Nevada & Avery brewing.

"We’re brewing a Dry-Hopped Barleywine-Style Ale. Avery’s founder, Adam Avery, was eager to brew this style and told us this story: Sierra Nevada Bigfoot Barleywine inspired him to try his hand at the style, leading to the creation of Hog Heaven, an Avery brewing classic. The idea behind this beer for Beer Camp Across the World is actually not to “collaborate” at all, but, rather, to brew the exact recipe for Sierra Nevada’s Bigfoot and the exact recipe for Avery’s Hog Heaven and blend the two distinct finished beers together, and then bottle condition a new version of these two classic beers. The resulting brew is lovingly dubbed “Big Hog” or “HogFoot” depending on the brewer’s preference. It’s big, intense, and hoppy. Great fresh or the perfect candidate for aging down the line."

Campout Porter

Sierra Nevada & Garage Project make a 7.7%, 32 IBU beer for Beer Camp Around the World 2017.

"We’re playing off the camping theme of Beer Camp with a beer we’re calling Campout Porter that evokes the flavors of marshmallows toasted over an open fire. The beer features special ingredients such as malt smoked over manuka wood (a tree native to New Zealand) and manuka honey. Additionally it contains beechwood honey from California and Tahitian vanilla beans to reflect the sweet and roasted notes we were looking for in this collaboration."
