    Boomerang was good, but I really love me some NZ hops. Coffee stout I wasn't a fan of, though. I got dirty, earthy, oniony hops mixed with coffee, kinda like FBS when the coffee first fades. Porter is awesome as always!

    I had an SNPA out of my Snow Pack last night and I swear it was the freshest and tastiest one I have had in years. Straight up delicious.

    Picked up a Snow pack 12 at my local grocery store on sale for $13.99 last night. Says packaged 11/5 on box but didn't check the bottle dates. I drank one Boomerang IPA and didn't really care for it. But I really like the Coffee Stout...delicious! I've had the Porter and Pale Ale before and know they'll be solid.

    Found it on sale tonight while getting some steaks to grill for dinner, and thought it would go well.

    Boomerang is good, I enjoyed it. Coffee stout was really well done, I would love to see that in 6 packs. Porter, as always, is delicious, and.. Pale Ale.. a classic.

    Dear Snowpack,
    Thank you for helping me remember how God damn delicious Porter is.

    For a 12 pack sampler pack, snowpack has been my favorite all year by any brewer in "best beers for the buck". Price taken into consideration as well...at $15.99 shelf price listed in the store in central MD, it was probably only outpriced by Saranac sampler pack, but $1-$5 less than anything else (and better beers than all the others). Sam Adams seasonal sampler packs even go for $16.99 or $17.99 I think. Sierra Nevada kills it in the price/quality threshold.

    You're missing out by not watching my house. SN is as common as water for this guy.

    This. I hope SN sneaks Stout and Kellerweis into future mixed packs as I think people forget how fantastic those beers are as well.

    Currently drinking the final Coffee Stout from my second purchase of the Snowpack.

    Really an excellent job on putting this one together.

    SNPA: Classic and imminently drinkable
    Porter: Just yum
    Boomerang: Solid. A little odd on the nose, but tasty enough
    Coffee Stout: Really, really, really fantastic


    Any plans on making the coffee stout available in other formats at some point (6/12 packs)? I could see myself buying a lot of this.

    I am a big fan of the boomerang, I definitely loved the fall pack due to the vienna lager, which restored my faith in good lagers. Ive never had a bad Sierra Nevada mixed pack, keep em coming!

    SN Coffee Stout blows Narrragansett's coffee stout out of the water. Its more smoother and creamier.
