Bigfoot 355ml Bottle 9.6% ABV
113 in stock
Bigfoot is a beast of a beer, brimming with bold flavors of bittersweet malt and heaps of aggressive whole-cone Pacific Northwest hops. First introduced in the winter of 1983, Bigfoot is a cult-classic beer brewed in the barleywine style, meaning a strong, robust, bruiser of a beer with the refined intensity of a wine. Bigfoot is prized by beer collectors for its supreme cellarability. Under the proper conditions, it can age like a fine wine, developing new flavors and character as it matures in the bottle. Each new release or “expedition” is vintage dated. Collect your own and see the flavors develop and progress.

Customer Reviews
Delicious. Probably not a session beer.
Love this beer, tastes great, keeps forever, perfect on a cool evening and, considering the ABV, really drinkable and good value.
Lovely, strongly malty barleywine. Just how it should be, bravo Sierra Nevada.
It’s just so good. Absolutely love Celebration Ale but this maybe even better!
Been drinking SN Bigfoot since I lived in the US in the late 80’s. I like rich, dark beers but find English barley wines too sweet. With its new world hop bitterness, Bigfoot is the answer. It is still superb. A nice touch used to be an image on the underside of the crown cork depicting the prospector and Bigfoot sitting round a campfire enjoying a beer together. Some dedicated accountant probably put paid to what he saw as nonsense.
