Notes

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s Celebration clone in BYO magazine says this is 7.1 % and 64 IBU's

Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s website says 6.8% amd 68 IBU's

This recipe will help me get close to my own version of something close.

The Details from Sierra Nevada Brewing Co.’s website says:

The start of Celebration season is a festive event. Once the first fresh hops arrive from harvest, the party begins! We first brewed Celebration in 1981, blazing the path for American-style IPAs and offering a new take on holiday beers, which are often spiced and sweet. Famous for its citrus and pine aromas, Celebration is bold and intense, featuring Cascade, Centennial and Chinook hops—honoring everything we have at Sierra Nevada.

6.8% ALCOHOL BY VOLUME
65 BITTERNESS UNITS
16.0° ORIGINAL GRAVITY
4.0° FINISHING GRAVITY

“One of the true classics.”
