    Am I interpreting the SN Calendar correctly - Flipside will only be available in the fall pack this year?

    If yes, that would suck!

    That's correct. I was underwhelmed with my six pack purchase last year so I wouldn't revisit anyway.

    The package and description got my juices flowing but the juice did not deliver

    Correct. For what it's worth, the fall mix pack is excellent so you're not missing out.

    In Utah a SN fall mix pack was not an option. Not sure what will be available in GJ, CO.

    Cheers!

    I personally like the direction that SN is taking with collaborating with a different german brewery annually. Flipside belongs in the fall pack. BTW, best fall pack so far!...

    I think the real travesty here is that Flipside took the place of Tumbler 6pk's last year. Tumbler is freaking delicious.

    Absolutely agree - but I also understand that a big outfit like SN needs to have seasonals that shift units. I think what they have done with the mix packs is rather brilliant...which is to take great beers that have a following, but not enough to stand on their own, and placing them in a seasonal variety pack. I hope they stick to this idea, as I love it. I can also imagine Kellerwies going this route, as I know it is endangered.

    I agree with their tactics as well, but it's America damnit, and I must voice my complaints....on everything!

    What's up with that SN Ruthless Rye IPA? I could use a sixer of that right now

    I think that was a spring seasonal? Awesome beer too.
