sierra 30

Has anyone had the second release of SN 30? It was supposed to be released mid May.

It was released on Tuesday. I haven't had a chance to get down to Chico and stop by the brewery for some yet. Hopefully will do that tomorrow.

Had one of these guys last night, pretty tasty. It has a Deep Golden color, not much Aroma, a little Floral maybe but mostly Malt. It's nice and malty, mostly toasty with a touch of sweetness on the front, but on the finish there is definite Alcohol warming. I didn't really get any Hop Bitterness or Flavor, but it's a Bock so there really shouldn't be. I liked it quite a bit, I'll have to pick up a few more to hang onto, seems like it will age well too.

Went to the brewery yesterday. CFK 30 Bock was on draft. The sample tray mat mentioned that it is hopped (dry-hopped?) with Crystal and Pacific Hallertau.

This is currently my favorite beer evar. My Vienna/Spalt SMaSH might turn out to be a reasonable facsimile.

It is a very nice beer, for sure. I was happy to find it on draft here.

Is this something that will only be available locally to the brewery area? We're heading to Cincy this weekend which happens to be the biggest chance I have a t special beers. I'll have to be sure and swing by to pick a couple up.

AFAIK it's widely available in (cork+cage) bottles. I had many draft servings at two local pubs before I went to Chico this weekend.

That brewery is definitely worthy of the superlatives it gets pegged with.
