    I've seen many mix packs, seasonal and otherwise, that just don't do it for me. If I ever buy a mixed 12, it will undoubtedly have at least one sub optimal beer style for my tastes. This has always kept me from pulling the trigger.

    If you could choose 4 styles of beer to include in a mix 12 pack, what would they be? I'd like to see a mix pack with a brown ale, coffee porter/stout, an esb and a barleywine. (I know, barleywine are a bit strong for conventional 12 packs. I can dream.) What is the magic combo for you?

    I'd love to see a 12 pack with a set of dubbels, tripels, quadruples and strong ale. Maybe a bit out there, but it could potentially make buying Belgian beers a little more affordable. Or it would be $80+.

    Any random mix of Brussels lambics and Bamberg lagers would work just fine for me.

    Different at different tunes of the year.

    With the rain and cold this last few days

    SN Coffee Stout x3
    SN Bigfoot x3
    SN Stout x2
    SN Maple Scotch Ale from a winter pack a few years ago. X2
    SN Tumbler x2

    I would have added a SN IPA but not a fan of the few I’ve had.

    Making these multi brewer packs is pretty much not going to happen so I stuck with one brewery.

    Enjoy

    So we're dreaming, are we? :sunglasses: Here we go then:

    'Wild' Patersbier
    Rauchbier
    N. German type Pils
    West Coast Stout

    Actually, I can't believe it doesn't exist already- there must be dozens, nay, dozens of dozens of people it would appeal to :wink::grin:

    I'll go with:
    west coast IPA
    gose
    Vienna lager (imperial version preferred)
    unable to decide on a 4th style so I'll go seasonal with a maibock/imperial stout switch-off

    I think I'd go for a mixed Belgian 12 pack. Duvel, St. Bernadus 12, Chimay Cinq Cents (White), Westmalle Tripel. Oh crap, I'm out of room in my pack. Can I pick 12 singles?

    1 Imperial/Double Red
