Sam Adams Beers for Cheers variety pack

I won't lie...I will purchase this...probably won't drink the white ales but everything else looks agreeable

 

Finally! Old Fezziwig!
I just wish it would be sold separately so I don't have to drink the rest of the crap, mainly the IPA.
Where is the Cranberry Lambic?
That was a nice compliment to the Holiday feasts, very tart and refreshing. Oh well, I can pass off the less desirable offerings to "friends".
Or, find a recipe and brew my own Fezzi.

 

im guessing since its a 24pk it will be clubs only? I don't think i've seen 24 mix packs of Sams at local distributors or super markets. 2 of each for a 12 pk would be a buy from me.

 

Definite improvement.

 

I'm very excited for this one! This is a line up we've been asking years for! Hopefully I can find it!

 

Ya know, that's how I remember the early version from the 1990s (?) - I didn't even care that it was mislabeled "Lambic" . And we weren't the only ones - M. Jackson rated it "** > ***" (between "Above Average" and "Worth Seeking Out"). Around that time I had someone buy me a case of it for a Christmas present but then didn't bother with it for years and when I tried it again 'bout a decade ago, I guess? - damn, sweet and otherwise unmemorable.
(Well, I remember that much and never drank it again).

 

Hmm...it's really hard to be excited about anything Sam Adams these days but this does seem like a worthwhile purchase.

 

I've read so many posts last year about how people won't be buying Sam Adams variety packs because it doesn't include Old Fezziwig and now it shows up! People complained about how it always included Sam '76 and only had 4 varieties and now Sam '76 is gone and there are 6 varieties like they used to make it! Is someone there actually reading these posts and listening to what we say? Well I better buy this pack so they see that if they listen people will buy.

Would be better if they included a Sam Adams mug or stein then sales will really go up! (just testing to see if they are really listening or not...we'll see next year)

 

All those Old Fezzwig promoters on the forum have to be jumping for joy about now. I’m buying this one, just because it’s offering a good variety of styles and a few new beers or old ones returning. Finally someone got the message that variety is what a lot of craft beer drinkers prefer, not 3-4different IPAs or sours in a variety pack.

 

Do we know if this is also what the 12 pack will be?

 

Looks like I need to make a trip to Sam's today. Only missing chocolate bock?

 

Yeah, the 12-pack has the same 6 beers x 2 each for $15. My store had an entire pallet of the 24-pack on the floor, but only 12 of the 12-pack on the shelf. Presume more of that size in the back?

 

This. If Chocolate Bock was in the variety pack, I'd get the case for sure. I'll get the 12-pack regardless. (Edit: If I can find it among the seltzers and other crap that's cluttering up the beer cooler, that is.)

 

And by "My store" I mean my Sam's Club where beer coolers don't exist.

@dcotom

 

I'll buy it, I'll drink it, just wish they were in cans.

 

Damning with faint praise.

 

Sam Adams seems to have a knack for almost getting there.

 

Whether they are listening or not this is an encouraging trend.

 

Not just got the message but maneuvered the idea past the Seltzer guys.
