    I'm talking about the Samuel Adams variety pack for fall, by the way. I'm a bit surprised it isn't out yet considering how early they like to release things. I'm not complaining though. Do you guys know if they have a set time that it starts going into stores, or do they switch it up every year?

    Taking a random guess here, but I'm going to throw the dart and say it comes out late Summer/early Fall

    I think the fall pack came out back in February knowing Sam Adams.

    I am surprised I have not seen it yet. I haven't even heard what beers are going to be in the pack. Also, anybody know what the fall pack is for NB?
    Releasing it Aug-Oct is the best time frame IMO.
    If this is a conscious effort to get the seasonals back on track, I applaud them!

    The Fall Pack for 2013 was released in December 2012.

    Last year's was a dual release. They released the Fall 2012 and Fall 2013 together as part of a sampler 12-pack.

    Realistically, probably in about 2-3 weeks. They have yet to announce what beers will be included though. So maybe 4-6 weeks.

    Decent lineup. I usually pick up the Fall and Winter seasonal packs when they first come out, and the Fall one typically seems to hit my area in Aug., so I expect to see it within the next week or so.

    It's release schedule is like Ramadan. Eventually it will cycle back around to the appropriate time

    Last week ... I believe they usually target July 15th for the Octoberfest release. It will vary region to region depending on how well Summer Ale sold and when the distributors run dry on it, so usually anywhere between July 15th-Aug 1st.

    Octoberfest just hit TW in Charleston, SC today. I couldn't resist being one of the first ones to grab a sixer.

    I'd imagine 2-3 weeks out. Depends on who the distributor is and how much of the summer mix packs they have left to sell through. Wouldn't be surprised to hear if there are distros sitting on the fall packs and are just waiting until they run through the summer.

    Really mad they didn't bring back the Dunkelweizen! That was my favorite beer in that seasonal pack. Oh well...maybe the Ruby Mild is decent.
