Sierra Nevada Single, Fresh, Wet & Wild Festival 2

[drgarage1]

Just announced, tickets on sale Tuesday. No brewers in the line-up announced yet. I think I'm in. Which hotel within walking distance hosted the sickest shares last year?

Had friends who went to this last year and said it was a blast. Maybe its time I made it up to Chico for the first time.

• RIDE YOUR BIKE, GET A SIERRA NEVADA T-SHIRT! We’ll be providing bike valet services from Chico Velo who will park your bike, keep it secure throughout the event, and deliver it back to you when you leave. As a thank you for reducing your carbon footprint, you’ll also receive a FREE SIERRA NEVADA T-SHIRT when you check into the bike valet. We encourage everyone to ride their bike to reduce road congestion and fuel consumption, but advise using a taxi or designated driver if you cannot safely ride your bike home.

Maybe i should just ride my bike up there.

If you do it clear from San Diego, they might upgrade from a free t-shirt to a cycling jersey!

Cool fest for new ticks, but last year, the best beer at said hop festival was Beachwood's Mocha Machine stout, . . . Oakshire's Galaxy IPA was the best of the hops though.

Lawson's brought some kegs of diacetyl growth hormone apparently last year.

Hopefully this year I walk away with a better impression from the hoppy products.

I just got my tickets. Who else is in?

 

[HopHeadScott]

Sounds interesting, but I'm finding myself not caring for Sierra brews that much anymore since my palate has evolved to liking higher quality beers. Plus with not knowing who else is going to be there? A crap shoot. I really prefer West Coast IPA's, and if that were the offerings, I'd take my bike up there to play!

Oxford suites is probably the closest to the brewery, on the other side of the 99 and opposite direction from all the downtown bars and restaurants though.

Want to do it right, stay at the hotel diamond.

If it's anything like last year's I'd suggest going. If I hadn't moved to Oregon, I would already have my tickets. You will not be disappointed.

Looking at that list I'd say it's safe to say there will be something for everybody.
Societe? I didn't know they left their compounds of SD, I wonder what they're bringing? Track 7 is solid too. RR and freaking Pizza Port??? hmmmmmmmmmmm...

 

[benbikes4beer]

Wish I could make it this year. Societe brings stuff to lots of events. They're bringing one of their sours to What The Funk. MSardina1 gets around yo. (He'll be up there for this too) (I wish I could go so bad cause Mike is awesome)

I'll likely see you there. I do question not highlighting Kern though...

I normally would -- but they seem to be at every festival I go to. I expect them to rock my face off with fresh hop ****, however.

 

[drgarage1]

Anyone need a spare ticket? I have one (and potentially crashing space in my hotel room). Will let it go for very, very little.

 

[sfbrian]

I also have a spare ticket I will get rid of for cheap if anybody needs one.

If you do it clear from San Diego, they might upgrade from a free t-shirt to a cycling jersey!

They're jersies are $100, way more than most other breweries. I'd say that ride would be worth a regular jersey and the Bigfoot long sleeve jersey jacket!
