Variety Packs

I've been getting Flying Dog lately. 3 each of Pale Ale, Snake Dog IPA, Raging Bitch Belgian IPA, and Pearl Necklace Oyster Stout. Yes, three of them are "hop forward" (and I'm glad they didn't change the name of the pale ale to "session IPA", I find that silly).... but you get a solid IPA, an imperial Belgian, and a stout in the same box.

I also love the Southern Tier SuperPack but it's quite pricey and all imperials so I get that only once or twice a year... I'm about due!

 

But when will Sixpoint distribute to North Carolina

 

When did anyone say that variety packs are supposed to contain all new beers? They're just a variety pack, a variety of beers. That's it.

 

Something German! haha- Held at Hefepoint Hefeweizen. Great summers beers.

 

Literally the exact three I came here to mention...

 

Not that I'll be able to find it, but what's in the Otter Creek sampler? I'd really like to try the Citra Mantra and Kind Ryed.

 

The variety packs that have something new are the best IMO. Otherwise, you can just get together with a friend, buy different six packs and split them up.

 

Just got my snow pack case today, torpedo, yum

 

the crisp

 

Sixpoint, Otter Creek, Sierra Nevada, Ithaca (Box of Hops - expensive but delicious), and I'll even throw in Saranac because it it so darn cheap

 

Kind Ryed, Over Easy, Couch Surfer, and Backseat Berner (best bang for your buck VT IPA IMO)

 

Ithaca Box of Hops is worth it if only for Java Power!

 

I've only purchase three variety packs ever, Sierra Nevada, Firestone Walker and Green Flash. I've purchased several different SN variety packs, great prices.

 

Bought a Bunch if otter creek mix packs this year and a few stone when bastard was in there. Mix packs seem to be getting better than a few years ago.

Troegs gas a few good ones as well

Enjoy

 

Mix packs aren't a big thing up here at all. First, not many of our breweries package, in general, and those that do, tend to package 22s. Most of the breweries that do smaller format packaging, tend to use cans, which for some unknown reason, aren't generally what's used for the mix packs. We do get some, like the various SN and BBC boxes, but we don't really see much of them.

Or

Sweet action
Jammer
A hoppy pale ale or session IPA

But really diesel x10

 

I like most SN variety packs but don't get the latest winter one.

Why put Pale ale and Torpedo in? Great beers but come on, most of us have drank these by the case!

How bout a porter! Only reason to pick this up is for coffee stout. Come on SN!

 

Founders variety pack - yea right
