At the outset of the Craft Brewers Conference, Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. made headlines by announcing the release of its Beer Camp Across America variety 12-pack. Slated for distribution this summer, the variety pack will feature 12 different collaboration beers brewed by 11 craft breweries and the Asheville Brewers Alliance. Wicked Weed’s Luke Dickinson and Green Man’s John Stuart led the team of brewers to craft the beer from the ABA.
“It’s a sweet potato Scotch ale at about 7.5 percent ABV,” said Dickinson. “It’s an unbelievable honor to be part of something as great as this.”
Sierra Nevada also announced a traveling beer festival to coincide with the Beer Camp Across America 12-pack release. The festival will culminate at the grand opening of Sierra Nevada’s new brewery in Mills River on Aug. 3.
