    Variety packs are definitely a trend I can get behind. I'd much rather buy a twelve pack of 4 different beers than two six-packs. So far my favorites that I've purchased are the Stone Mixed 12 Pack and Sierra Nevada's 4-way IPA.

    Sierra Nevada has been crushing the variety pack game.
    Beer Camp, 4-way, Fall Pack, Snow Pack.

    How awesome would it be if Three Floyds did a variety pack!

    Even better! A little disappointing since I picked mine up from the company store...

    Not really . . . perhaps if you like paying approaching $25 / $30 a 12-pack as a guess, go right ahead. Three Floyds' value proposition is way off, I'll stick to SN at nearly half the price.

    If FFF made a 12 pack, I would most certainlty pay 25 to 30 dollars for it. Even 15 dollars for a 6 pack of Zombie Dust and Yum Yum isn't bad to me. Maybe this stuff is all relative. However, as much as I love them, I will not buy the bombers they put out. Those can be pricey and a little off in value. I have seen them priced at anywhere between 12 to 17. Obviously, depending on which beer it is. And by the way, I love SN. Nothing wrong with a variety pack by them!

    For what it's worth any 6 pack at the brewery is $10.00. An entire case (4 - 6 packs) is $40. I'm quite sure that some of the retailers gouging is beyond their control. By me the local grocery stores that carry them charge 12.99 per six pack. Some of the bottle shops near me try to charge 17.99 per six pack.

    If FFF offered a mixed 12 pack or 24 pack at their normal pricing I would be all over it.

    The Stone Mix 12 pack is the best one that has been widely available. Four different great beers all rated at 93 or above on BA...for $19.99.

    The best variety pack of all time is Sierra Nevada's Beer Camp. Twelve different beers, twelve different collaborations. Every beer was strong to quite strong. If you didn't get a chance to grab a case, I feel sorry for you.

    Green Flash has a very nice variety pack currently out , 6 Double stouts , 6 Red IPAs and 12 West Coast IPA . All are top notch . i'm not a big Red IPA lover but the Green Flash Red IPA is outstanding.

    My brother-in-law brought me a Deshutes variety pack. Six different offerings (2 each). This was a big deal to me since Deschutes is not distributed to Alabama. Loved all but one of them. (White not quite to my taste).
