    I believe I saw some at my local bottle shop the other day. I was looking for something else but noted new mixed packs from Sam Adams in a staging area where they stack cases before putting them out. I'm ready to grab some of the Winter Lager once they start putting it out. Always enjoy that one.

    Looks like this is the lineup:

    Cold IPA
    Fezziwig
    Oaked Vanilla Porter (new)
    Winter Lager

    I'll likely snag a 12 pack at some point, mostly for Fezzi.

    Kind of a weak pack. I remember when Samuel Adams did six varieties two of each beer and two of the beers were new exclusive to the pack. They need to go back to that. These new seasonal packs are stale.

    This is new news for me. I have posted numerous times, over many years, that Old Fezziwig should be a standalone (e.g., six-pack) beer. Do you have any further details here? Will Old Fezziwig be widely distributed (e.g., nationwide)? When will it be available?

    Cheers!

    Don't forget everyone, we should also be getting the fan favorites, or whatever they called it, variety pack coming out in November at some point.

    No idea if it will be a national release but just scrolling around I see a few places having the sixers in. In fact, a couple of distributors in Lancaster, PA are showing it (e.g., Kirchner's Beverage Distributor, Wheatland Beer Distributors). Not sure if anywhere near you.

    ETA: Seeing a place in Westland MI having it too so perhaps it will be nationally distributed?

    Well, Lancaster is farther to drive than my preference. Hopefully this beer will eventually make its way to the Philly area.

    Cheers!

    I’ve always had a soft spot for SA Winter Lager.

    Which beers will be in that pack? Will it get wide distribution?

    Cheers!

    Fan favorites and winter pack both sound good to me! Hope to see them at Costco as I don't mind getting a 24 pack of each.

    I just saw on the SA site that it was available. Hallelujah!

    But, so far here in Georgia, it's only available at some Sam's Club locations. Hope it's not some exclusivity thing with Sam and Sam's here.

    Grabbed a six of Fezziwig yesterday, was shocked to see it in a stand alone six pack.
