    Personally, I was never a fan of this but a lot of BAs were. So this is pretty newsworthy. Especially since Doublus wasn't really the same beer.

    Paging @AWA , I thunk you owe duvel at least a partial apology. Or maybe you finally got someone over there to listen to reason? If the latter get them on the wookie Jack. You can tell them I promise not to take it for granted this time

    Maybe I need to revisit this again. I remember buying a single of double jack along with my sixer of union jack and liking the union jack way more.

    They’re making us buy a mixed pack to get this? Lame.

    My only concern is it’s a mix pack only. Seems like mix pack beers are never as fresh as single beer packs.

    Did they really listen if it's only in a mixed pack?
    A mixed pack that'll likely cost close to $20...for three bottles of a beer that I've been missing.
    Oh well, it's something

    it's like a cynical test to see how committed the double jack loyalists are

    C'mon Firestone... I love you but this "variety thing" is lame! Did someone already say that?

    FW: Put Double Jack and Wookie Jack in the same "variety mix pack" and THEN I'll buy it.
    Not this.
    Nope.

    Same here. In fact, that's pretty much the case with anything hoppy from FW in my area.

    Much as I love it, it starts to suck pretty bad after about 3 months. Might last longer canned though.

    This is great and all, but I'd rather that they just concentrated on keeping fresh Union Jack on shelves. Haven't bought any in like 3 years because it's always 4 or 5 months old here

    Or, since we're playing 'member berries: it'd be even cooler if we saw Pivo, Pale 31, or even better, Unfiltered DBA again (100% oak aged DBA)

    I found fresh Pivo recently and it is so good. I'll pick up this variety pack for sure. It will be fresh enough around here. I was a big fan of Double Jack back in the day. I have less of a pallet for double IPAs these days, but I expect to like this quite a bit.
