    I'm pretty sure they sell it as a stand alone anyways

    I dunno. I've been drinking SN for close to twenty years and I'm all about this mix. Excited to try the Holiday Haze and stoked on the Coffee Porter and winter warmer as well.

    Saw the Snowpack at the store today. Didn't have a chance to pick it up, but hope to on my way home.

    Glad to see they have a coffee stout and especially interested in the Wintertide Ale winter warmer. IPA seems forced given the other selections, but I'll deal w/ it if the WW is above average.

    I'm going to Benny's tomorrow and I hope to get the snowpack and the celebration IPA when I go. Let's hope they have it

    Hoping this hits the NE soon! I'm seeing checkins from NC and VA already, so it's gotta hit in the next week or so presumably. Going to start checking my local distributor daily in hopes of spotting it.

    Couldn't figure how to edit my previous post. Here's Wintertide Ale (taste like cookies)

    TW Brandon FL got some yesterday. $14.99. That winter stuff in Post 89 looks interesting.

    It is going to be over 70 degrees in my area (Philly area) today and a "Snowpack" variety pack is already available (packaged 10/10/17). Geez!!

    I think we will need to award Sierra Nevada a Gold Medal for seasonal creep. First there was the case of Oktoberfest beers packaged in early July and now this "Snowpack" when it still feels like summer.

    Non-cheers to seasonal beer creep!

    If you got a case of beer camp for $23, thats not bad at all. It's a clearing out old stock sale, but a lot of the beers in there are big and will not have dropped off much. The IPAs are probably past their prime now though.

    Yeah I had like 5 beers in it and the beers in my option I had were nothing to rave about they were okay

    Well it snowed last week here in Colorado. So just because it is currently warm in one area of the country, doesn't mean we should hold back the release for everyone else.

    The malt bill won me over on that IPA. Oats, wheat and acciduaded malts are my favorite for ipas for the feel it gives. Will be buying this.

    I feel you with the creep. I havent seen much on the shore. The mid 50's has been chilly for me recently, im used to 95° and high humidity so this is nice. Cheers.

    Now is the perfect timing to release this pack. I've already started rocking the heater so there's nothing wrong with buying a pack with a coffee stout and winter warmer in it. For people in warmer areas they even included a pale ale and IPA.
