    Not sure how these 2 havent been mentioned.

    Smuttynose: Finest Kind, Robust Porter, Old Brown Dog, Shoals Pale ale. I can get it in mass for 12.99 when on sale, cant beat that man. (I hate when the put in star island single over robust porter)

    Sam Adams Winter: Fezziwig, Holiday Porter, White Christmas, BL, and Chocolate Bock. And you cant put a price on the nostalgic value of fezzi and holiday porter(love the label).

    Under the Radar. Ipswich: Oatmeal Stout, IPA, Pale Ale, Dark Ale. Oatmeal stout is world class. All Real good value, not all that common though.

    I dig the Troegs snack pack and buy it quite a bit, especially when hosting beer-loving out of town guests.
    Pale Ale
    Dreamweaver
    Hopback
    Javahead

    Still not sure why Stone doesn't do a mix pack:
    Levitation
    IPA
    Arrogant Bastard
    Porter

    I'm not sure you can beat the Victory 12 pack for $15.99

    You're right. I forgot that it had been switched with Elliot Ness. It's been a while since I've bought it, but I think it's a switch for the better to be honest.

    I also am not a fan of Burning River. Would def prefer Commodore in its place.

    Nice! Actually to my knowledge they have never differed w/the 12 pack's selection. I think Ness is underrated, I feel it gets overshadowed by Dortmunder. They are both great but I've had friends who swear the formula has changed in Dort & prefer Ness. I've always enjoyed them both immensely, I think Ness is a bit maltier and smoother w/o the lager's funky bite @ times from Dort, but that's my palate. To this day Dort is the only beer I had so much of coming up that I can guesstimate where the keg is at level wise, i.e. just tapped, near the bottom. What do you think of Conway's Irish Ale?

    Wow, it's like seeing a unicorn wish I could find these in the wild. :grimacing: That goes for SN Beer Camp too, the only place I saw that carried it went outta business in 11/12. They sold the Beer Camp whole or as singles, this year's Oatmeal Stout was worthy of being a regular brew.

    Same story here, its about 25 bucks in VA. A deal IMO though. I six pack of Unearthly 12oz would be about12 or 13 I would guess. Bombers go for 6.99.

    There are tons of them to be had here. See them everywhere. I guess it's Founder's way of saying "sorry you have to put up with all of those arbitrary PLCB rules. Here, have something awesome."

    :grimacing: Never seen this one either the addition of Java Head & Troegenator already make this better than their normal variety pack

    I find this amazing given that delivery wise I'm closer to Michigan than you & the original poster, see Founder's all over but have yet to see a variety pack anywhere. I can buy cases of particular beers no problem.

    I was thinking Lagunitas should sell a mixed 12'er. We should lobby Lagunitas to make one with exactly what you're saying; Pale Ale, Sumpin Sumpin, Maximus and IPA
