Sierra Nevada Beer Camp Across America To Return in 2016

2016 Beer Camp Across America

After the magical journey across the United States last summer with Beer Camp Across America, Sierra Nevada Brewing has plans to rekindle this journey for 2016. The only difference is that 2016 Beer Camp has moved across the country to Sierra Nevada’s new brewery in Mills River, North Carolina.

Beer Camp Across America, the largest celebration of craft beer, is coming back in 2016 with a six-city trip across the United States. The tour is still being planned with stops in six different regions including Pacific Northwest, Northern California, Southwest, Midwest, Northeast and Southeast. After attending last year at the kickoff in Chico, California this is one festival that is sure not to be missed!

Inspired by rock ‘n’ roll Super Groups, Sierra Nevada and its 30 collaboration partners are at its new North Carolina brewery writing recipes for beers that will be part of the 2016 mixed 12-pack. Sierra Nevada, along with these bands of brewers, will create an all-new mixed pack of beers that showcases the art, spirit and attitude of American craft beer. An Oregon brewery will once again be represented with Barley Brown’s Beer taking the place of Ninkasi Brewing that was part of the 2014 edition.
