    I agree if we are talking about IPAs.

    Tumbler is great. I have always enjoyed it but now that my palate has evolved I can pick out a lot of different flavors and its complexity surprised me; I do miss the days when it was a standalone seasonal.

    Torpedo was my least favorite in the pack but I have never been a huge fan.

    Yeah, Tumbler is pretty fantastic. Epitomizes a fall beer imo. So much flavor & complexity from a 5.5 ABV beer as well. Cheers to SN. Well I'm a Tumbler fan. Born under punches.

    Waiting for this one to show up mainly to try tumbler. I saw sam adams fall pack but I couldn't pull the trigger. Just too many lagers, and I have no interest in a coffee pale ale. Just gimme a stout, porter, brown and maybe a smoked lager or something. I want a dark and roasty mix pack for fall and winter, but this one will do I suppose.

    It’s out and it’s fresh. The one I just bought was packaged 8/2. Been wanting to try Ruthless Rye for a long time and the Vienna Lager and Tumbler are always worth waiting for. And I haven’t had Torpedo in ages so this pack is a winner across the board. :grin:

    Finally found this and I'm pleased... The Vienna and Tumbler drive this boat... I miss the hell out of Tumbler and the Vienna is embarrassingly overlooked as being delicious... Ruthless is as good as ever and having Torpedo fresh reminds me how good that beer can be...

    Waited two years for the Fall Pack. Tumbler was the highlight and Ruthless Rye is much better than River Ryed from last years 4 Way IPA Pack. Vienna Lager isn't a bad beer but its my least favorite. Despite not buying Pale Ale its my go to when I go out its much harder to find Torpedo on tap so its a welcome addition.

    Put out a SN Fall pack during our Labor Day cookout, minus one of each for me to drink and review. The lone craft lager fan in the group enjoyed the Vienna Lager, the sole IPA/APA guy liked Torpedo but was not thrilled with the Ruthless Rye. No one wanted to try the Autumn Tumbler, my family fears Brown Ales I guess. A Coors Light fan brought a cooler full, that was the most consumed beer that day. There was some Corona there also and now I am out of limes.

    Fear of Brown seems to be a common malady.

    Brown Ales have to be about the most unloved beer style these days; yet they were ubiquitous during the 90’s brewpub craze (somebody was drinking them then!). Having a Tumbler right now and it reminds me just how good a brown can be. Interesting to me that Brown IPA’s were never a thing, even for a short while (Dogfish’s, which has been brewed since forever, shows that style can work if you ask me).

    I've never bought a mixed 12 pack of anything from anybody. I think it a cheap was to give you a few beers you'd love and a few more they can't sell with out piggybacking it.

    Can't remember the last time I bought one. Many many years ago I was on a Fullers Porter run, but I've got no interist now. More into Pils right now, nicely hoppy without going into IPAs.

    I love Bells Best.......At one point it was $40 a case of 24x16.

    Remember liking Tumbler

    Cigar City Maduro is awesome

    Always looking for a good brown ale. Might need to find a mix a 6 of brown ales once its gets more cool out. This 92+ and soupy humidity is not fun.

    Will be looking for this pack if I can find it at $15 im in. $20 PA price , im out.

    Enjoy

    Before a year or so ago we had to buy cases and the best way to try stuff was the mixed variety cases. Oh my how times have changed.. But I have bought almost every variety case from every brewery in distribution in our area. I can count the ones I haven't on one hand.

    Yes, we can certainly purchase beer in a variety of formats now: single bottle/can, 6-packs, etc.

    Unfortunately the fact that prices are higher here in PA compared to other states hasn't changed.:slight_frown:

    Non-cheers to PA higher prices!!!!!!!!!!!!
