    When did they update it to include Tumbler instead of Hop Hunter? Their website still lists
    Hop Hunter
    Nooner
    Ruthless
    Flipside.

    So this must be different from the fan favorite pack?? OP also said a “6 pack” of each, so it’s a mixed case of beers instead of 12 @techyakker? Do you mind saying what store you found it at in NJ? Maybe it’ll makes its way to where I’m at.

    Wayne Costco, I had to do a triple take when I saw Tumbler was included.

    Must be a club store variety pack then (which makes sense if it's a sixer of each). Will have to keep an eye out for it.

    Interesting. I just checked and Sierra Nevada beer finder is not showing any of the original Fan Pack in our area, which means their haven't been any recent shipments of it in some number of months. The Fan Pack was widely available and I'm guessing any remaining boxes are at least a few months old. Which leads me to believe the Fanatic Pack will replace it.

    If so, that's awesome! SN really hit a home run with the Fan Pack, they are on record saying it's a great seller. I'm actually surprised more breweries haven't copied this idea.

    Love the throwback beers, and really appreciate the fact that there's actual variety in the box, not just 3 random IPAs plus SN Pale Ale for good measure. Though I would've preferred them to replace Ruthless Rye, I actually love Hop Hunter.

    Was going to pick up a Fan Pack this week but will hold off a few weeks.

    Can confirm this is a bulk retailer pack. Just picked some up from Costco. Honestly a little disappointed by Tumbler. When was it retired? 2014? Anyways it was a bit watery but I’m chalking it up to being hot and humid outside and I wasn’t in the mood. I’ll save the rest for sept/oct.

    I will be on the lookout for this, what a great lineup! I have definitely been missing Tumbler, glad to see it making an appearance. Hopefully this is a sign of things to come...

    Looks like this is the "Fanatic Pack" instead of the Fan Favorites - I just checked out the locator and it looks like in my area, Costco has it. I'll need to find this because they were all my favorites with cooler weather

    That's a pretty great late summer/fall pack. I will definitely be on the lookout next time I'm at costco

    Just call it a "Fall" variety pack like they used to so to not confuse people. Im sure their marketing team reached the decision that variety packs with seasonal names on them are passe.

    I might be wrong but for whatever reason I don't think SN has typically 'announced' club store variety pack releases in the past on their social media or even on their website. Just the variety packs which go through normal retail distribution it seems.
