    Lately I have been thinking about breweries that don't offer a mixed 12 pack that I wish would. This was inspired by @RexKramer's recent (fantastic) idea in a Great Lakes thread that Pipeworks Brewing should offer a mixed 12 pack of their fish series beers (all named after a different exotic fish) in cans called the Pipeworks Aquarium. That got me thinking about breweries that I'd like to see offer a mixed 12 pack. The first one that came to mind for me was Metropolitan Brewing - a local Chicago brewery doing a variety of lagers. I'd love to see them have a mixed 12 pack with some of their main beers (Krankshaft kolsch, Flywheel pilsner, Magnetron Schwarzbier) and one of their seasonals thrown in (alt, octoberfest, doppelbock, wicked, etc).

    So, I ask you, what brewery that doesn't offer a mixed 12 pack do you wish would? Could be a local, regional or national brewery ... and, what would you like to see in the pack?

    I'd love to see Lagunitas do it, as I like all their beers but generally don't want a whole sixer of anything. Plus, it'd be a chance for them to brew new beers to throw in there.

    I've only had a couple of their beers - what would you want to see in the mix pack?

    I could definitely got for the Metropolitan and Neshaminy Creek ones if they were available- some genuine variety there. Westbrook could also make a really nice one if they included the Two Claw, maybe alongside the Gose, IPA and White Thai.

    Not sure if Central Waters has a mixed 12 of their base beers, but would love to see a mixed 12 of their BA lineup; Stout, Barleywine, Quad, Cherry Stout, Cassian Sunset, Scotch Ale, Headless Heron, Chocolate Porter, and Black Gold. Hey, that's nine, so a mixed 18.

    That would be a really nice one, too - oatmeal stout, amber, IPA, gose.

    Can you imagine 2 cans each of Trauger, Church, Jawn, County, Highwater, and Croyden? That would be super and probably a nightmare to make for the brewery.

    I like Shape too but in a 16oz can it doesn't really fit into my daydream.
