Sierra Nevada Summerfest, the seasonal pilsner first released in 1991 by the Chico, California based brewery.
Around 2021, the brewery announced the retirement of this summer favorite, wanting to replace it with Summer Break, a hazy low ABV IPA. However, fans pushed back, and it would seem the beer wasn’t seasonally gone long.
Our Summerfest® is a refreshing, pilsner-style lager. Its incredible smoothness comes from an extra-long lagering period. Lighter in body than our ales but just as complex in character, Summerfest® quenches your thirst with big aroma and a tangy hop bite.
