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.

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

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.
