Forget tinsel, forget carols. The real sign that the festive season has arrived is the return of Sierra Nevada Celebration, the fresh hop IPA that’s been making beer cheer(s) since 1981. But this year? We’re bringing something genuinely special. Something historic. We’re bringing Celebration - the iconic West Coast hop-bomb - on cask to the U.K.

Yes. Celebration. On. Cask.

For decades, Celebration has been poured in keg and bottle, bursting with citrus zest, pine resin and that unapologetic Sierra snap of bitterness. But pulling it through a handpump? That changes everything. Cask brings a creamy mouthfeel, a mellow rounded warmth and a depth that makes the hops glow. Like meeting an old friend with a new personality.

And it’s kind of poetic. An American hero of the hop world served in the most traditional British format. A beer

Every now and then in the beer world something outrageous happens. Sometimes it’s a twist on a new style. Sometimes it’s a wild collab. And other times… it’s one of the most limited release beers in the world somehow finding its way across the Atlantic into our hands. Enter: Celly Drippins.

If you know and love Sierra Nevada’s iconic festive release Celebration. All pine, citrus, and unapologetically bold hop character, then imagine taking those legendary whole-cone dry hop bags… squeezing every last drop of flavour from them… and turning that concentrated hop essence into its own beer. That’s Celly Drippins. It’s deeper, richer, more intense. Like Celebration, but dialled up.

Until now, it’s been a beer known only to pour in Sierra Nevada taprooms. In Chico, California and Fletcher, North Carolina. Never brewed for distribution. Never exported. Never served elsewhere.
