    That might be the best mixed pack I have seen in a while. Maple Scotch Ale sounds awesome.

    I've had a "Sierra Nevada Scotch Ale" on tap once that was fantastic. I wish they'd release that instead of some bandwagon maple beer... but I'm very interested in trying it with hope that it's just as good.

    I am digging this for sure. I just want to enjoy my Oktoberfest 1st, that is my top fav for the season so these will have to wait a little for me.
    Cheers

    Looks great! I just wish they would replace Pale Ale with something else, maybe Celebration Ale or something.

    Already in 12 packs and sixers by the time this comes out. Who needs just 3 celebrations when you can crush 12 so easily?

    So pumped for this variety pack! Wish the beer camp was better but I think this will make up for it. But as someone else said wish there was something else besides the pale ale.

    Scotch ale is one of the styles I have just never warmed up to so I'm looking forward to see if SN can get me on board.

    They do have something of a track record on that front since Tumbler taught me to love Browns.

    Still undecided about the fall pack, but I'm definitely getting this one. All about dat scotch ale.

    I actually liked last year's (being able to have fresh Torpedo for the first time thanks to getting a pack probably helped, but I really enjoyed both the Coffee Stout and Snow Wit too and I don't mind having the Pale Ale in variety packs at all)...

    But this looks interesting, and also looks like something that's very likely to end up in my fridge even if I'm not feeling like having hoppy beers much by the time it's out -- last year's was a little heavy on the hop-forward beers, even for someone who doesn't see most IPAs as warm-weather beers.

    I'll wait for the Maple Scotch Ale and the Coffee Stout to hit my local taproom. Not that into assorted boxes, always something I will not be a fan of. Now if Founders came out with a KBS, CBS, FBS, and BB variety pack, I'd stock up...

    While this looks very interesting, I refuse to discuss winter releases while sitting by the pool

    IMO. A Founder's mixer of that ilk is the only thing worth forking over $30 ala Beer Camp for...but this will never happen.

    Isn't SNPA already a single hop cascade? At least thats what I always thought. I'm sure somebody can confirm or deny.
