Nick Freshman Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Forgive me if there is a topic on this already, but I couldn't find it. We've been able to get each one of these that have been released so far. We just got in the third in the series, Jack & Ken's Ale, named after Ken Grossman, founder of Sierra Nevada, and Jack McAuliffe whose New Albion brewery sparked craft brewing in the US. The whole experiment by Sierra has been really cool, and we feel lucky to be able to carry them. Only 1,000 barrels of this one were released. Described as a cross between an Imperial Porter and an American Barleywine, all I can say is this beer is BIG. 10.2 ABV, and lots going on. Come by for a pint of history. More on the beers is here. And a cool article on New Albion is here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
durwoodx Posted August 20, 2010 Share Posted August 20, 2010 Yeah I have liked each of them so far. I think they will all benefit from sitting for a bit, though - I have been lucky enough to grab 3 or 4 bottles of each and be able to sample them then set a couple aside to age.
