    I don't think I've ever seen 12-packs, so I didn't bring up NG. But I haven't been to every retailer...

    Hear, hear. My Dad used to say that Camels, Lucky Strikes, Pall Mall, and Chesterfield cigarettes reminded him of the USA and not being in a hole on Leyte. Sierra Nevada Pale Ale is just so iconic and tasty. That's my vote. The irony is that lots of those boys smoking coffin nails all over the world saving our asses died prolonged dreadful deaths. Just like my Dad.

    Sierra Nevada 12 packs and mixed packs are a great value. And equally important, excellent beer.
    Founders 15 packs are one of the best values in craft beer, IMO. Also, excellent beer.

    If Allagash makes it to your area, 12 packs of White and River Trip are pretty great IMO.

    This. Founders Mosaic, Centennial and Unraveled all at $16-$17 a 15 case is insane value.

    Also love Perrin's Pack of problems. Three different IPA's for three different ABV or flavor moods. Usually $15ish

    NG does offer 12-Pack formats, but I think Spotted Cow may be the only beer I've seen packaged that way. Spotted Cow's best and worst feature is it is easy drinking. Nice now and then, but it has never been a staple in my frig; guess having ease of availability it loses its luster a bit.

    When did this happen? Saw 12 packs of Deisy and Bodem yesterday.

    SN Celebration is my favorite 12 pack; for year round beers, I'll go with DFH 60 Min or Von Trapp mixed 12

    Don't you have to buy by the case at TH? Or at least a minimum order of like $60?

    Can I say a 15 pack of Founders Centennial IPA? Great bang for the buck.

    Lucky you. They must still make them in 12 packs, but we just haven’t gotten them here in over a year, so I figured they stopped making them altogether.

    Victory Brewing came out with a new beer for 2020: Classic Lager.

    I can purchase 15-packs of this beer for 20 bucks and I have bought four of these packs (so far this year).

    I discussed this beer in a past NBS thread:

    "Overall:

    This beer is excellent. I really enjoyed the balance of bready Pilsner Malt and herbal/spicy hop flavors. This beer is indeed consistent with the Victory Brewing ‘claim’ of an Easy Drinkin' Lager."

    They are selling it in 12 packs now at the brewery for the low low price of $39. And you have to spend >=$65 to place an order right now.

    That is insane that people would pay that much for a 12 pack of beer. I mean heck if anything were to wake someone up on how expensive beer was at some of these places that is it. I guess you can't blame these places, if people keep buying why not charge that much.

    Well, let's consider the equivalent of purchasing three four-packs from a 'popular' IPA factory brewery. Using a 'baseline' of 20 bucks per four-pack that purchase of three four-packs would be 60 bucks (which needless to say is significantly more than $39). So maybe $39 for that 12-pack is a 'good deal'?:confused:
    A business (brewery) owner would most definitely think that way. A situation of a win-win business transaction? The brewery is happy to accept the money ($39 for a 12-pack) and the Haze Bros customers are happy to give the business owner that money?:thinking_face:

    Cheers!

    You peaked my interest so I did the math, the 4 pack price is 17.20 and the 12 pack is 39.60, so the price per ounce is slightly more than 1/2 a cent more in 12 oz cans. Every half a penny counts!

    Celebration. Only beer that I will consistently buy a twelve pack.

    Ok. If they have Waldo's Special Ale in a twelve pack, I would buy that every year.
